CATS - Overture lyrics

rate me

Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement.<br />

Suddenly an explosion of lights and music fills the theatre, <br />

revealing a larger-than-life junkyard. Probing car lights <br />

tear across the darkened landscape of bottles and boxes, <br />

briefly catching the darting image of a running feline. <br />

One by one, the curious cats emerge. Tonight is the one special <br />

night each year when the tribe of Jellicle Cats reunites to <br />

celebrate who they are. The cats emerge singing of their unique <br />

abilities and special traits in a fusion of poetry and dance.
