   A wonderful collection of poems about cats by T. S. Eliot on which the stage play “CATS” is based. It may take a couple of readings to fully understand what T. S. Eliot was trying to convey but well worth the effort. Sit back and enjoy.

   Great audio tape for both poetry and CATS fan. Here you can hear all the poems that go into the songs for CATS Musical. You can hear them clearly cause there spoken not sung. The poets use great voice to show the expressions that the cats in the poems may feel.Its also great to use this to learn the songs. Also soem parts of a few poems were cut from the Musical. On this cassette you can hear the fuel poem as written.

   If you have not read this before you attend the theater to see “Cats” you will not get it!
