who wrote the lyrics to memory from cats?
trevor nunn
most of the lyrics in "cats" were taken from "old possum's book of practical cats" with very minor alterations. supplementary verses from unpublished poems by eliot were adapted for "grizabella: the glamour cat" and "journey to the heaviside layer", while the song "the moments of happiness" was taken from a passage in eliot's "the dry salvages". "cats" director trevor nunn and lyricist richard stilgoe provided the remaining lyrics, namely for the opening number "jellicle songs for jellicle cats" and the most famous song from the musical "memory". the former was written by nunn and stilgoe and was modelled after an unpublished poem by eliot titled "pollicle dogs and jellicle cats", while the latter was written by nunn based on another eliot poem titled "rhapsody on a windy night".
