The Marriage of Figaro (Italian: Le nozze di Figaro), is an opera buffa (comic opera) in four acts composed in 1786 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with an Italian libretto written by Lorenzo Da Ponte based on a stage comedy by Pierre Beaumarchais, La folle journée, ou le Mariage de Figaro (1784).

I chose this comic play by one of my favorite composers from the Classical era.

	Kids Nowadays (Spoken Word), a poem by Shaunda Yvette, USA		Shaunda Yvette, USA
Poem	Kids Nowadays (Spoken Word) I think the message is clear; Problem is kids nowadays just don't care. They have no idea the meaning of culture Because it's society says society do. Mirror images can be deceiving, You too busy emulating what you see on TV, Yea, you cool, so you think. Your future is bright, So smile for the cameras, Lets call this album your mugshot portfolio. Go head follow the fake drug dealers you see on TV. While they on to their next gig, You'll be facing a 25 to life prison bid. Whether murder or drug possession Keep on witcha bad self, You 18, you grown, you got a college degree in pharmaceuticals. A career criminal is what the label you. You must like that. Better yet you must think you're invincible. But didn't you know, the morgues they never close, they never get crowded, Like a CVS pharmacy, open 24/7 As a matter of fact, they welcome you and your family. If they didn't they would be out of business. Do me a favor, go take a good look in the mirror, Look pass the facade and flashy money dancing in ya head, Take a good look, are you happy with what you see? No values, virtues or self esteem Just half ass million dollar pipeline dreams, Reality is, this road leaves to the cemetery or prison. But its not too late to get it straight. First fix ya face then pull up your pants!!!.. This reminded me so much of my kid and his friends that I just had to use this.

"Cats" The Musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber

Cats is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot, and produced by Cameron McIntosh. The musical tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make what is known as "the Jellicle choice" and decide which cat will ascend to the 'Heaviside Lair' and come back to a new life. Cats also introduced the song "Memory".

Directed by Trevor Nunn and choreographed by Gillian Lynne, Cats first opened in the West End in 1981 and then with the same creative team on Broadway in 1982. It won numerous awards, including Best Musical at both the Laurence Olivier Awards and the Tony Awards. The London production ran for twenty-one years and the Broadway production ran for eighteen years, both setting new records. Actresses Elaine Paige and Betty Buckley became particularly associated with the musical. One actress, Marlene Danielle, performed in the Broadway production for its entire run (from 1982 until 2000).
