25. The Musical About Nothing
CATS is a musical about nothing, to the point even the crew were confused about when working on the production. So how was it so darn successful? Alright, alright, let’s be honest, people are really only here for Memory.
Based on T.S. Eliot’s whimsical poems, CATS turned a seemingly bizarre concept into a theatrical juggernaut. Catnip for audiences, inexplicably enchanting, and despite its odd premise, or maybe because of it, it’s raked in over a billion dollars.
