Apr. 8th, 2006 09:52 pmI have now written 496 words of my 600-word article on Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats. Unfortunately, 495 words of that are the bibliography.
I read A Cat's Diary by Stephen Mo Hanan (the original Broadway Bustopher Jones/Gus/Growltiger) today as research. This was interesting for two reasons. First - it proved to me that theater people are insane. Two - throughout the whole thing, Steve is mooning over Timothy Scott, the original Mister Mistoffelees, who is completely unavailable. It's kind of cute! He's always inviting Tim over, giving him backrubs (describing exactly how he moaned in response to these backrubs). At one point Tim comes to Steve crying over some tiff with the choreographer and after Steve comforts him, Tim says "I'm so glad I have you!" Steve adds parenthetically in his diary, "but you haven't had me."
Believe me when I say this was the only interesting thing about the book. I only got one useful tidbit from it that I can use in my article.
Argh. If I ever volunteer to write about Webber again, someone please shoot me.
