That is an interesting thought. However, I think the reason she touches us so is because she symbolises the sadness in us all and is a striking antithesis to the rest of the tribe who may simply be afraid or cautious of this vision of their future. Of course, the 'rebirth' gives us all(meaning them)renewed hope. Grizabella gives the whole production depth and highlights the recognitions we have of ourselves in all the characters. The human/feline balance is incredibly well crafted and (in my opinion) perfected in Grizabella. Her sad version of the dance makes the ball all the more powerful and 'Memory' makes us think about our own lives, our chances, mistakes, missed opportunities: our nine lives so to speak. Perhaps we are all the rich actress.......
