#ComposerInIsolation 

Oh, T.S. Elliot's letter to Miss Skinker is priceless. I think, in addition to being a fantastic writer, he must have been a spectacularly witty man. And Lord Webber, my deepest condolences on losing your beloved cat, Mika. Cats truly are magical, unpredictable creatures who never cease to amaze and offer their fortunate owners an unlimited abundance of love and amusement. And in closing, I would like to thank you for all of the wonderful entertainment you have given us all these years, and especially now, in these difficult times.

I’m so sorry about Mika. Would love to hear your commentary.

Oh I’m sorry about your beloved cat. A faithful friend I’m sure. This was a lovely video!❤️

Thank you for the wonderful musical theatre on Friday evenings. It has been something to look forward to during these difficult and unprecedented times. I will look back fondly to watching shows that I have loved for a long time, but also ones that I had not seen, and have surprisingly touched me. It has been a privilege. Musical theatre has been a huge part of my life, and I hope that fans like me, can now give something back to everybody working in this industry, who are living with huge uncertainties. I can't imagine a world without musical theatre, and I urge anyone that can give support to the different funds, and get our theatres up and running again when it is safe to do so. Thank you again and I look forward to watching Cats along with everyone else in this very special community. Sending love, light and healing to you all. Stay safe and well xx

Thank you for sharing about Mika. Thank you for sharing about T.S. Thank you for sharing your music and great talent.

Thank you for sharing this with us in Mika's memory. Sorry to hear about her passing. Much sympathy from me and the cats I live with.

Cats is a very special musical that I’ve ever seen 👍🏻 Andrew turns all the cats into some lively characters on the stage and each cat has got his/her own personality 💖 I watched the original show in London a few times and the round stage is so impressive 👏🏻 I wish to watch it again in sooner future 🥰 Of course I will support the one on Friday... I can’t wait 😊

I’m very sorry to hear about what happened to your beloved cat Mika. 😿May your memories of Mika give you strength. 💝 Thank you for sharing anecdotes about T.S.Elliot. That’s very interesting! 👍 I saw the musical Cats in London back in 1983. I still remember how moved I was by the show that night. 👏👏👏 Ever since, I’ve become a big fan of your musicals. Thank you for sharing your great talent composing wonderful musicals!😉 I look forward to watching Friday’s Cats with your live commentary. Memories live again!😸🌔

I’m so terribly sorry to hear of your cat’s demise. It’s always heartbreaking to lose a beloved member of the family! I send you positive thoughts and prayers and hope that all your wonderful memories provide you comfort! 💗🙏🏻 I imagine what a thrilling and informative evening it would be in your company. So many incredibly talented people you’ve collaborated with over your amazing and extensive career! Thank you for sharing this fascinating bit of T. S. Eliot. Big squeezes! 🤗🤗🤗

I see why that's your most prized possession. Thank you Mr. Weber for your creativity. You are a gem.

Dear Sir Andrew, my most heartfelt condolences. Having had the pleasure of the company of various cats (and dogs, and other kinds of pets) all my life, I know all too well how devastating it is to lose one of our loyal companions. I think your plan to honor Mika's memory is generous and delightful, and I very much look forward to the double treat of watching "Cats" again (I saw it half a dozen times on Broadway and on each occasion loved it even more) while listening to your no doubt fascinating commentary. Thank you!

Oh No! As if this isolation isn’t difficult enough. I’m so sorry.

Thank you for the invitation, Sir Andrew! So nice to have you as a friend. Thank you.

Thank you Andrew I enjoyed the Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies Thank you for letting us see cats I've never seen a live production I'm a senior and this is just a blessing amazing and I'm sorry about your cat I have three in heaven they were my children so I'm sorry for your loss Thank you again and God bless you🙏🐈🐾😿💕🌈

So very sorry about your precious Mika. The death of a beloved pet is difficult to deal with. They give us unconditional love and ask for little in return. My heart goes out to you. 🌈

I’m so sorry for your loss Andrew. I’m sending my thoughts and prayers to you and all my love and support to you. I’m looking forward to hear your commentary on Friday.

I am so honored to be able to watch CATS with you Andrew LLoyd Webber and everyone else who loves this musical. I am also so sorry about your beloved cat Mika. Thank you for this beautiful musical. I'm sure Mika will be watching it with us in cat heaven

Sir Andrew L Webber: how do we thank you for your kindness and generosity in sharing these fabulous shows. It has greatly lifted our spirits. I thank you for welcoming us into your home. Your are brilliant. Your chats show us your warmth, humor and creativity in enlisting audience participation. You have welcomed us as you would a “friend”. Much gratitude for your weekly “company”. May memories of your beloved cat, comfort you. Keep safe.🙏

Thank you very much for this amazing opportunity to watch your magnificent musicals online for free. Not only you made our isolation time worthless, but you also you gave us a very very beautiful gift, the art. All these people across the planet Earth had the opportunity to watch and admire your performances, some of them watched something like this for the very first time, and some of them decided to continue do so. Personally, I am gonna miss my Fridays isolation and I hope that one day I will be able to travel to USA in order to visit Broadway. All these months I cannot continue my piano lessons because of the quarantine and I cannot study, the piano is at my grandmother's house. So, being able to watch and listen to these level of music is something really great 💗. Thank you for everything! P.S. I'm so sorry for your cat!

Im sorry too for your lost. Thank you for the wonderful moment with Cats, i enjoy and cry with Memory. I love it. God bless you Sir Andrew. From 🇦🇷 with love for you.

So sorry to hear the loss of your beloved Mika. I know the feeling. Can't wait to watch CATS this Friday with you live commentary. You are the greatest. Toronto, Canada

So sorry about your kitty Mika, I lost all 3 of my kitties, 2 last year and Shadow in Feb., she would have been 19 this month. WFH and I just adopted a shelter kitty,, all done online. Lola is 10 years old and had been returned back to the shelter after having been with a family for 5 years. She is still very skittish and hides a lot, but she deserves a forever home. Going to watch Cats and remember fondly my all the kitties who have brought joy to me.

My heartfelt condolences on the passing of your sweet Mika. She was a member of your family for sure. Will watch Cats with you Friday night. Hugs from Georgia, USA ❤

Mika was so obviously well-loved and she takes that love with her. Sorry for your loss...each little friend is irreplaceable...they take up such little space but when they are gone...it feels like such a vast empty space where they once were. You were dear to give us the commentary on the show...I enjoyed it very much. And for all that you have given us all these years (I can feel it is all a labor of love)...THANK YOU. 💖

I'm so sorry for your loss... I've been a fan of your wonderful work since I was a kid. Watching these shows for free every Friday while I was majoring in Stage Directing online during this lockdown, these difficult times, brought me joy and inspiration. I can't thank you enough for your generosity. Wishing you and your family the best. Looking forward to this last Friday and your commentary, Sir Andrew! Please keep inspiring us. 🐈💖

Dear Andrew, I know what it is to grieve for a beloved cat. Every feline is special. I will watch Cats with my own little panther, Chiquita. I send you love and gratitude for many years of wonderful music. Thank you so much for everything you've given us!

so so sorry to hear about Mika - it's a loss of a member of your family. I loved your commentary tonight - thank you for this and for your generosity in sharing so much with all of us in lockdown around the world. You have brought us together. Thank you.

I am sooo sorry to hear about Mika! I’m also going to miss Fridays-The Show Must Go on! Wow, a handwritten poem by T. S. Eliot-how cool is that? I’m looking forward to tomorrow and watching Cats! Thank you Lord Webber for being here for us in this difficult time!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your beloved Mika. My heart and thoughts are with you. I look forward to watching cats live with you and hearing your commentary. Lots of love 💕💕💕

Thank you so much, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber for being so generous and sharing so much of yourself during this hard times. I would definitely look forward to hearing your commentary on Cats!!!

A fitting tribute to Mika and my sincere condolences for your loss. Will watch Cats with you. 🐱

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear Mika :( I hope Mika continues to live in your memories for the rest of your days :) I'm looking forward to seeing Cats, since I have never seen it before! And I am so thankful that you've decided to comment on it live as the show is premiered! Also, thank you for all the lovely shows you have let us watched these past few weeks, I've enjoyed every single one of them, truly amazing, entertaining, and inspiring! Wishing you and your family the best during these times, Mr. Webber!

I’m so sorry for your loss Andrew. I’m sending my thoughts and prayers to you, they are members of our families for sure, my cat is Dalí and she is very pretty and extravagant! and I love her! I will watch Cats with you on Friday, thank you very much. Hugs from Lima, Perú

After being so cherished and adored, I hope Miss Mika doesn't find Heaven too disappointing. May you find comfort in your memories of Mika, and in the knowledge that you'll be together again, my Lord. With every good wish, Doe 🥰

I am so so sorry to hear of Mika's tragic death and it is so obvious how upset you are. Please know that I and many others are thinking of you, sympathise and care about you . You are so brave. Love and prayers 🐾

I'm so sorry Sir Andrew, I'm sure Mika was sent to the Heaviside Layer

Yes I'll watch on Friday. From Los Angeles, I'm sending you my sympathy and tears for your loss of your precious cat. Losing a pet is so hard. When I lost my 13 year old cat last year, I cried more tears than any river. 🌹❤🌹

Thank you Sir Lloyd Webber for sharing your gifts and talents to the world. I have the most wondrous memories of the Cats musical. My first memory was being absolutely mesmerized as a 9 year old with the music, theatre, pazazz and emotion; way too special to ever forget!!! And I remember most of all having shared that experience with my mum and the many other times we would experience Cats and your other musical masters, as a teenager and later as an adult. Now my mother is no longer with me but when I watch these musicals and listen to your songs I am back again sitting snug as a bug next to my mother with so much joy in my heart. Thank you! Sad to hear the news of your precious Mika, may your heart know love and peace at this time. From, New Zealand xox

I'm so terribly sorry to hear about your Mika. I know how incredibly painful it is to lose a beloved cat. I look forward to your commentary on the brilliant 1998 Cats video - that will be a lovely tribute to Mika.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Mika, your dearest cat and friend. How very hard, many prayers to you, I'm a cat person and know this pain. I know she was blessed to have you as you were blessed to have her. A cat is truly the best companion. Love all your composer in isolations!!!

Sorry for your loss. Can't wait to watch CATS and thank you for all the shows.

I am so sorry Sir Andrew. Losing a loving pet is always devistating. Thinking of you at this time.

My beautiful cat, Helen, was also killed on the road. One of the hardest days of my life. Big hug.

So very sorry to hear about your loss,Andrew. Our pets are our constant companions,& even more special during these difficult times. 'Cats' is brilliant in every respect so thank you for the pleasure you have given to so many.

My condolences on your lost of your beloved Mika. I watch 'The Show Must Go On' shows in Thailand. Thank you so much Sir for giving us around the world chances to watch all these such wonderful pieces of musicals. These comfort us this hard time. The world is still beautiful no matter what. Feel great having this chance to chat with you Sir. It will be one hour after midnight in Thailand, the Premiere tomorrow. Hope to still awake to watch Cats while watching you chat with us. Such a great chance. A great honour. 💚

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t even think of anything happening to my cat without crying, so I understand. Cats are so special and important. I can’t wait to watch Cats this week. Thank you so much for posting these videos and lifting our spirits in these troubled times.

So sorry about your loss. And in those difficult times, too.

My heart breaks for you on the loss of your beloved Mika. Thank you for @The Shows Must Go On! which has been a true joy during this crazy time. Also, thank you for the opportunity to watch Cats with you hear your commentary - so difficult for you and such a gift for your fans.

Andrew thank you for this opportunity to watch Cats. I'm afraid I have never seen any of your shows but throughly enjoyed Cats and your Tweets discussing your music and playing the piano etc (and Donny Osmond singing Any Dream will do). Thank you.

Sir Andrew, I am so sorry for your loss of your dear cat. A big hug from Poland ❤️ Thank you for sharing those stories today, very interesting :) I hope to join you on Friday to watch Cats together (have never seen this before!), such a treat, thank you! I loved Love Never Dies you played for us a few weeks ago, and am listening and singing songs from POTO and LND ever since. Thank you for doing so much to cheer us all up!!! ❤️

Lord Webber, thank you for sharing T.S. Elliot's letter to Miss Skinker. What a delightful and admirable response! Thank you also for sharing your work with us during this season. I have enjoyed it immensely! Additionally, I'm so terribly sorry for the loss of your beloved Mika. May you encounter many tender mercies in the midst of your grief. God bless you now and always.

I am so sorry that you lost your beloved Mika. It is so extroadinary to have a close relationship with a species other than our own ! May Mika's spirit always remain at your side . Thank you Andrew for all that you have done during this time of ' staying home '.

r.i.p micca .....i will watch cats again actually i watched long long time ago so i need watch it again . thank you master:)

Sir Andrew, I just want to tell you I watched the 1998 version of Cats back in April and I absolutely loved it! Since then I have become obsessed with the musical and its songs. It really makes you appreciate cats and made me wish I had one, maybe even wish I WAS one. I am about the same age as the musical Cats and I am sorry I only discovered it now. I think it is brilliant and I thank you for writing it. I can’t wait to hear your commentary. So sorry to hear about your cat as well. I have lost many dear cats and I know how painful it is. They are all in the Heaviside Layer now.

So sorry and my condolences about your beloved "Mika," your cherished Feline Friend, ALW. You have given us one of the best theatrical musicals in all of the 20th century! So glad to have you joining the rest of the tribe of "Jellicles" watching the show. Your commentary will be priceless and thank you once again!

I am soooooo sorry to hear about your beloved cat Mika! Simply cannot wait till Friday! I saw CATS 3 times while it was on Broadway.....Love loved it soooo much! Thank you for all you do to brighten our days!!!

Oh Andrew, I'm so sorry about Mika! I have been through that myself, too many times, so I know exactly how you are feeling.

Thank you so much for entertaining us over the weeks of lockdown and bringing such joy to our lives over the years. I really felt it was magical being able to listen to your thoughts, whilst watching Cats. Sympathy to you on the loss of Mika.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Mika. One never gets over the loss of a cat. As the saying goes, they leave pawprints on your heart. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful shows with us

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these show as it has made something to look forward to at the end of the week. Thank Andrew and team for making this happen at this worrying time.

Thank you so much for sharing your personal memoirs with us, and for creating such wonderful music. Sorry for the loss of your beloved Mika, may your fond memories keep her alive.

Sir, I always enjoy all you have to share. So sorry about your loss. My family is looking forward to Friday. Thank you for offering Cats. Every day seems like "Ground Hog Day". Same day over and over (isolated). We look forward to a new day watching your show. We sometimes watch your presentations 3 or 4 times.

So very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious Mika 😢 My deepest sympathy to you. Blessings your way 🙏 🙏 💔🐈I look forward to Friday ❤️

I'm so sorry about your cat's passing. Thank you so much for all that you have done and are doing for us. You're an inspiration to all artists!

So sad to hear that Mika met with an untimely end. Pets are just as much a part of our family as our blood relatives. It will hurt now, but in time you’ll think of her and smile. 😘😘😘

Have followed, and loved, all the shows that have been broadcast and certainly won't miss this one. So sorry to hear about Mika.

So sorry to hear that you have lost your beloved cat. Having also had a cat which was killed on the road, I understand how you must be feeling now. Very much looking forward to Friday.

So sorry for your loss, I have experienced the same few years ago. I have watched the show in Greece in 2005 and I ll be joining you tonight! Thank you for all the wonderful Fridays you gave us, looking forward to some more!

Andrew I'm so sorry to hear about your beautiful Cat Mika that's so sad. I know your pain my sweet boy Coco has been in and out of hospital during this whole Lock down. I nearly lost him again on Saturday night very close.. He's now back in hospital again. I'm about to fund raise using the song Memory which I'm planning to sing from cats which I love. I really hope to raise funds for his bill and other Cats in need for the wonderful charity' The ceila Hammond trust' whom have offered me lower cost fees.Quite frankly without them we would have had no where to go.They have been helping many cats during this lock down without predudice and are wonderful.Thankyou for the music and take care. X

So sorry Sir Andrew. Have had cats and kind of know the sadness of your loss! Thank you for all the years of wonderful music, disappointed that this is the last Show Must Go On. Will miss the highlight of Friday evenings! Must be one of your most devoted fans

I am so sorry about Mika! Thanks so much for the opportunity of watching these musicals!

I'm so sorry for you loss of beloved Mika. Peace to you. And thank you for all you give us.

Sorry to hear about Mike . Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us. X

I am so sorry for your loss sir. Thank you for keeping us company all those rough weeks. I'm wishing you all the best.

Thank you so very much for this special musical Cats. It was the first one I saw with my family in 19185 and have seen all your musicals ever since. I also have a cat who is 14 years old and has kidney failure. With a special diet I hope she'll be with me for a while longer, but I dread the day that she's gone. I have lost quite a few cats and I know what you're going through. Take care Andrew and I am very much looking forward to tonight. Can't wait..!!

That’s so cool I’ll watch it!!! Thank you Mr. Webber, also I am so sad to hear about Mika. I am sure she’ll be lovingly watching you from the Heaviside Layer

So sorry to hear about your loss Sir Andrew. Cats are wonderful creatures and give us lots of fond memories. Please take care.

So very sorry. Cats are amazing creatures. I love all of my furbabies and so hard to lose them. Prayers to you!

Dear Sir Andrew. ...I am so sad to hear of your loss of Mika. My kitty died about 25 years ago and I have not have a good night’s sleep since. I miss her purring which always put me to sleep. I feel your pain. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing plays with us. I saw Aspects of Love on Broadway,many years ago and loved it. This will be my third time seeing Cats. The last time , my husband and I came home from the show only to find that our canary had escaped his cage, and our cat had gotten her! After all ,cats will be cats! ☹️ Take care and stay safe!

I am so desperately sorry Andrew to hear about Mika. Its absolutely Heartbreaking when one of our feline friends is taken from us. I send you lots of Heart healing and hope you will be OK in the coming days. I look forward to hearing your live commentary on Friday as we watch the last broadcast of Cats. Its been an absolute pleasure watching all your You Tube videos during this lock down. I'm sure you hear this all the time, but all the body of work you have so spectacularly created and produced over the years has been very inspirational to me. So I would publicly like to say THANKYOU from the bottom of my Heart. You are a gem. I was due to visit Phantom for the 48th time this February but put it off til march and then this crazy world scenario came in. But I shall be there as soon as we can get our feet in the door of Her Majesty's and bums back on seats. And in closing, please please please get the film of Sunset Boulevard finished. I need to see Glenn do her majestic role all over again. What a great show. My condolences once again and best wishes to you Andrew. Sean x

Sorry to hear Sir Andrew about your sweetie. Thank you for what you have been doing.

I’m sorry sorry about Mika. 😥 can’t wait to watch Cats with you and hear your commentary

I’m so sorry about your cat Mika! I know it’s hard. I can’t thank you enough Sir Webber for sharing your music and shows with us. I’ve watched everything you’ve put out there for us. It’s helped immensely during this pandemic which came closely behind my husbands stem cell isolation which was preceded by a two year bout of leukemia and aggressive lymphoma. Thank you so much for bringing music and theatre back into my life. Love and prayers to you and yours 💕

My heart breaks for you--I am so sorry! These precious creatures really become members of the family. They reveal a little bit of Heaven!

I'm very sorry for your loss of Mika. It has been quite possibly the highlight of my week watching your musicals. I would really want this to keep going, but I understand. Thank you!

I love Cats. (Both the musical and T.S Elliott's book.) One of my favorite things to draw. I would love to watch the show and hear the commentary. I'm so sad and sorry for Mika. Not only because that's also my father's name, but because that is how our beloved Noir dieb too. They are joy to our lives, but never forgotten.

Thanks for all the great work never seen Phantom of the Opera now I can't stop singing Prima Donna

Condolences on the loss of Mika, thanks you for your lovely musicals.

Very interesting I loved that you shared the letter with us

So sorry to hear about Mika. Looking forward to Friday ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your letter and I’m sad to hear about your beloved cat. Thank you for all you do. 💕

The letter from TS Eliot is just wonderful... What a classic! And it definitely made me smile!

So very sad for your loss of your beloved Mika, Sir Andrew. Very difficult when tragedies happen like this beyond say mere old age or something expected with our "children". Sincerest sympathies indeed.

I am so sorry to hear of your beloved Mika, poor girl. I can't wait for the commentary during the first showing. Thank You!

Oh Dear Sir Andrew, Sorry for the loss of Mika, You must be Heartbroken! all Pets leave a big Hole in our hearts when they Pass On! God Bless You and Stay safe and well!

My condolences on the passing of your beloved Mika.

I'm so sorry for Mika, much love from Italy Maestro! ❤

thank you for the invite Andrew we certainly will join you ^.^

So sorry to hear about Mika. My condolences to you and your family Sir Andrew.

I will be there, Sir Andrew. Singing along to Skimbleshanks after rehearsing all night on those fast-paced lyrics. RIP Mika.
