" Memories all alone in the moonlight:" remember Cats the Opera

hi jwfarrimond how lucky you were. I saw it on public television and was delighted with it but to see it on stage now much better.that song is really haunting and she had the voice to makeit really live to.I founmd myself in tears over it and my husand did not see why I was so emotional over a cat. lol But thats okay not everyone likes the same things.I would safely say the woman playing the elderly cat made that song really come alive. n c

hi celtic I saw it too on public television. I think it wou ld have been easier to understand if a person could have seen it on stage. If ever I get to New York city I will surely see at least a few stage plays. I also had problems getting the jist of the story for some reason as it was c very different.

celticeagle I wou ld so love to get to NewYorkCity but it costs to travel and now I am hobbling around with the stupid walker. so fun to be old ha.

There is alot to see in NYC. WOuld like to do that too.

oh yes gardengerty and hardworking I come here whem sad or mad or even glad and I find I start to laugh over some funny sentence and come away all cheered up again. mylots a great place when you are blue.

So true as I too have had some weepy moments then I come here and smiles/healthy laughter instantly come upon.

hi dawn oh how funny ,thats making me laugh as I can imagine the tone of her voice. I would love to have seen the stage play.How lucky you werr to get tickets in the best seats in the house wow. I wonder how the snooty lady expected them to portray cats without wearing cat costumes? What a snob,.

I have no idea, but I liked it a lot! Great memories...

hi ifa sometime yous should look it up in u tube and listen to it as its aot a lot of wonderful music in it. ifa I come here and cry on your shouldets,you and my other my lot friends you always cheer me up and make me smile. lol

hi dorannmwin It was on public television and I lu cked out that I got to see the whole thingl. I was supposed to have worked at the library that night but i got sick about a half hour after I got there so was sent home so I turned on channel 28 and I really enjoyed it specially the song memories

oh my i seem to have triggered that song ina lot of people's heads It is so haunting and the scene in the play is too as she is in the 'moonlight seated alone on the bus bench, not a soul in sight. that song just r eally gravs you. he he.

hi elitess so behind but getting there.oh the songs in Lion King'were so great, I did not see it bu t I did get some of ths songs downloaded and loved them.You will love Memories too once you hear it as it so haunting'and very lovely too.

hi tamara am so behind but getting there, I love that song and I saw the play on public television. that scene where the elderly cat seated all alone on a bus bench beside a city streetlight sings,"Memories, all alone in the moonlight" it just sent shivers down my back.Even my son liked it and hes not so into the same things I am But her voice had that sad yet beautiful and haunting sound to it.I am not so lonely anytmore as I have a roommate and a few friends here.also I have a lovely bunch of friends here on mylot too.

hi ebuscat You know someone remarked on here the other day that music is the universal language and we do not have to know the language in order to enjoy the music and I think thats very true too.You are so righjt, an old song cam make your heart refreshed indeed.

hi rameshchow yes thats the one. listen to the song Memories and picture this elderly cat all alone under a full moon on a bus bench by a city street light. she starts like this" Memories: all alone in the moonlight" whoever she was who played that elderlyu cat she had a wonderful voice and did the song full justice too. Yes our minds are great as I saw her in that scene singing that song'and my heart ached for the sadness in her voice,just a play but what a play . Moonlight is like magic when you look up and see it all mysterious and bright and think of memories you have of other people at other times.

hi mythociate yes it really did and I do imagine thats what cats do too. the actress and singer who sang memories made that song stand out. I saw the televsion version on public televsion and hearingv the elderly cat sing that song just really got to me.It is a great opers and most of what A ndrew Loyd Webber did was fantastic too.When I saw this on television I really wished I could have seen the stage play . lol

Memories was more than that it was great. you had to be willing to supsend all sense of disbelief and use imagination then onlywouold uou be able to understand it.this is the third time I have w ritten this comment as the wiper outer of mylot glitch seems bent to drive me nuts/ this above just got wiped out but I had copoied it and thus just pasted' it here. this is making me make typos as its unnerving to type away and see all your work just disappear.the lady who played the elderly cat was just perfect, and the whold play was fantastic.

Ms. Hatley is so cute, she has a way of bringing out cutesy things out of us. LOL..

hi ElicBxn me too I loved the music. I had heard of Old possums book of Practical cats but somehow I never could find it. time to look again.Oh that is sad that Memories was not one from the book.I loved the names of the variouis cat.Grizzabella is a great name.wow. I wo uld love to see that over asits been a long time since I saw it.

Okay, HWG, now you have me thinking of "The Way We Were" Memories, light the corner of my mind. Misty water colored memories, of the way we were. Oh well. We can just have a virtual sing a long here on MyLot.

Hol crap! This is the very song running through my head as I type...it's so haunting! Streisand is a true diva but could she sing!

LOL scorpiobabes, I have been humming it since I read Ms. Hatley's discussion. hehehe, I can't get it out of mind.

hi louievill yes I am sure he just had some things he had to do and maybe he was doing more job seadhin as he rigfht now has only tow da ys of work a week. I was just foolishly feeling sorrru for myself. I liked TS elliots work too.the poem about the man eating a peach really stuck with me .but so much of his work is a bit gloomy. wonder if he was a sort of gloomy fellow? You know I seldom write two discussions in one day as I feel I must comment back on them and w ant to have time to do that. some here will write one every five minutes then not respond at all to their responses. thats truly sad. I guess I just needed am outlet for my moods tonight. I can still see he old cat sitting on a bus bench under a street light and singing so sad and sentimental a song. I always felt like the writer should have had someone come up and hug her. but thats me. I love to write and haven't been doing it lately.its a great outlet to my emotions. I have never been published but still like to write.

0h lexirose I wish that were so but he still does not have a full time job only a part time. I really do love that song and the scene from the play where she is sitting in the moonlight on a deserted bus bench.I am so behind here its Mar24 already 2011
