Round 6: Tossup 3

This musical’s director Trevor Nunn wrote lyrics for a song in it to be sung by Judi Dench, only for her to get injured days before its opening night. A 13-minute dance sequence with no singing in this musical features a character in an all-white costume performing a pas de deux. A character in this musical is described in an eponymous song as the ”Napoleon of Crime” after (15[1])he kidnaps (*) Old (15[2])Deuteronomy, who (10[1])is rescued following a dance solo by the “Magical Mr. Mistoffelees.” Grizabella passes over to the Heaviside Layer in this musical after singing"Memory." For 10 points, T.S. Eliot’s poetry inspired what Andrew Lloyd Webber musical about the title animals? ■END■
