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 (15[1])deux. A character in this musical (15[1])is described in an (-5[1])eponymous song as the ”Napoleon of Crime” after he kidnaps (*) Old Deuteronomy, who is rescued following a dance solo by the “Magical Mr. Mistoffelees.” Grizabella passes (10[1])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? (10[1])■END■
