Cats wasn't exactly TSE at the top of his oeuvre, was it?

They didn't give out the Nobel Prize for "The Rum Tum Tugger."

Some people just don't like musicals.

And some musicals are better constructed than others.

What I object to in the article is turning the musical into some political cause célèbre. I can understand somebody saying it's an enjoyable show that teaches you something. I can understand somebody saying its bad music and worse history. But I don't think either view is necessarily tied to any particular ideology. Most of the people who've said they like Hamilton live in the deep blue states, but that's true of most of the people who say anything about Broadway shows.

They didn't give out the Nobel Prize for "The Rum Tum Tugger."

No, but T. S. Eliot was posthumously awarded the Tony award for Best Book and Best Score for Cats. His second wife accepted the award on his behalf.
