What:

Cats, one of the brightest diamonds among the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber, was first staged in the West End in London, and a year later it stepped over the ocean and played on Broadway, in 1982.

One of the songs, Memory, became a hit and brightly known far beyond the borders of musicals world. Over time, this song has become a standard not only for this musical, but also marked the bar for all musicals.
