Composer Andrew Lloyd-Webber speaks to Gay Byrne about the original production of 'Cats' on 'The Late Late Shoiw'.
It was impossible to find investors for the show because nobody thought a dance musical based on a book of poems by T.S. Eliot could be a success. 'Cats' went on to become one of the longest-running West End and Broadway shows and broke a lot of new ground. Those who did invest made 20 times their money back.
This episode of 'The Late Late Show' was broadcast on 23 October 1998.
