Completa il testo di presentazione di questo musical a partire dalla scheda.2
Hello. Welcome to my blog!
My name is Jamila and I live in Liverpool. I study at the Liverpool Theatre School. I’m very fond of musicals,
so for my birthday my parents gave me a holiday in the capital of musicals, London. London is full of
theatres, in the area called the West End there are more than 50 theatres, so it is also called Theatreland.
Here are two of my favourite musicals:
CatsCats is one of the most famous musicals in the world. The musical tells the story of a group of
cats. The music was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The first performance of Cats was in
1981 and it ended in London in 2002. But you can still see it in other parts of the world. I saw it
in Singapore when I visited my uncle, for example.
Billy ElliotBilly Elliot is a musical based on the film of the same title. The music is
by Elton John and the lyrics are by Lee Hall. It tells the story of Billy, a
British boy who loves dancing, and his struggle against prejudice to
become a dancer.
