Features: Cat is a humorous and easy-to-understand English-Chinese bilingual script with strong contemporary characteristics and appreciable qualities. The bilingual script of Cat is not only a necessity for musical theater enthusiasts but also a favorite among bilingual learners. Cat also includes a synopsis of the plot and script, an introduction to the cats in Cat, an introduction to British poet T.S. Eliot, an introduction to the music composer and master Weber, as well as informative articles on knowledge from poetry to musical theater and about memories, along with the lyrics and simple musical notation of the well-known bilingual song—Memories. The English-Chinese bilingual musical theater script Cat is a humorous and easy-to-understand, highly contemporary, and appreciable reading material. The script of Cat is adapted from the long poem Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by British poet T.S. Eliot. This poem was written for children by Eliot, filled with innocent, childlike imagination and vivid, straightforward language, yet with profound meanings. The highlight of the script, Memories, was not in the original poem. At the time, Eliot found it too sad and removed it, but when it resurfaced in the musical theater, it became a global sensation.
