I have a different theory

I don't remember the year (I could probably look it up) but my wife and were in London and we kept hearing the song Memory on the radio. We had never heard the song, nor had we heard of the show it was from, but the song was so haunting at the time that I'm sure we decided to see the show based on that one song, and based on the additional fact that it had a "star". So, I wonder if this was a show in which a great song was used as a marketing vehicle.

It was, of course, but that doesn't make a show a record-breaking hit. I just think that people love to watch cats. Before YouTube and BuzzFeed put cat photos and videos and Gifs at our disposal, we had to go to the theatre to see it. I am being 100% serious about this.
