New version of Cats much like the old one

    IF I SOON end up in a psychiatric ward, could someone please send the bill to Andrew Lloyd Webber?

    It has been some four days since I saw the revival of Lloyd Webber's nigh-legendary musical Cats, which opened on Sunday at the Neil Simon Theater. And it has been four days of persistent earworms. The show's electric opening song has been hounding me - no feline metaphor applying - when I wake in the morning, when I sit down at my computer, when I pick up a volume of Trollope, when I go to bed.
