Andrew Lloyd Webber, the British composer of the musical "Cats”, recorded a video message personally to the pupils of Kyiv’s school 93, who staged his musical in a bomb shelter.  

This is said in a video report released by Ukrinform.

In particular, the composer wished the Ukrainian children to be strong and brave.

"I’m absolutely honored to give you my huge encouragement for everything you’re doing with ‘Cats’,” he said in this video massage.

Director of school 93 Inna Mironiuk noted that the children, inspired by the video message recorded personally by the “Cats” composer, are already preparing a new play.

The musical "Cats" was first performed in London in 1981, and within a year, it was shown on Broadway. Andrew Lloyd Webber's songs became the basis of the musical. The author has received the most prestigious awards, including "Oscar" and "Grammy".
