If the 2019 Bombalurina can re-release her own music, why can't I? As part of the “BROADWAY REBORN, WITH LOVE NOW AND FOREVER, A Celebratory Welcome Back!” event that was recorded live on August 21, 2021, we recorded and released a parody of Memory. Hear it today and watch the music video on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pnXTDssGNY

Performed by Melanie Goerlitz

Lyrics by Mike Abrams:

Broadway

How I’ve missed you, oh Broadway

Let your memory help me

Fill the void from within

I have settled to watching clips of CATS on YouTube

But a live show must begin

Broadway

How I’ve missed you oh Broadway

I remember the old days

Shows were happening then

I remember the time I flipped through my Playbill

Please let Broadway start again

Burnt out lightbulbs, dusty stages

Empty lines at the theatre

Grizabella’s not dying, the Ball hasn’t even started

And all of the CATS are waiting

Matinee

I just want to see a matinee

I’ll even come on a Monday

And I’ll stand in the back

I am willing to pay

Too much for a glass of wine

Just let Broadway start again

Old Deuteronomy is ready to make his choice

Grizabella is elevating

Gus is standing there being passed over

His tears of sadness are fading

Pick Gus

I just want you to pick Gus

He is much more deserving

The crowd’s on his side

If you pick him

You'll finally end the show correctly

Look remember
