Last week I purchased the original CATS cast album. I appreciate the fact that the lyrics are more convoluted and complicated than the average Rodgers and Hammerstein show, but, that being said, I found it very difficult to understand the lyrics of any song that involved the chorus/ensemble. My high school drama teacher used to refer to this as "mush mouth" - do I need to have my hearing checked?
