Cats

As with real cats, I don\'t really get the appeal.

I appreciate the effort, but god, this has got to be most boring thing I have ever seen in my life!

The music was good, but I had no idea what was happening most of the time.

The fact that this was produced--let alone popular--proves that what certain people experience as reality is totally alien to me.

Saw the play live at the age of 7. Changed my life.

You are either completely behind how absolutely bonkers and nonsense this entire thing is, or you\'re not. There is no middle ground. Cineastes will talk about how much they love originality and formalism and abstraction and expressionism and Lloyd Webber literally pushes all of those to their extremes. Sure it never really makes sense, but if you were expecting it to, then you never understood the point of Cats in the first place.

The music is memorable as are some of the energetic, acrobatic stage performances, but it\'s very much puff to show it off- there\'s no deep story, only vignettes on characters for sake of the numbers.

Can easily understand why 'Memory' became a big hit. However, most characters in the musical could have easily been taken out of it without damaging the plot. Also, there's a flavour of infantilisation in the humanised characterisation of those cats.

This show would probably be a blast to dance in, but I still just really fucking hate Cats.

I haven\'t seen the show live, so not sure if this can be judged properly. Despite the bizarre play that Cats is (don\'t argue), the actors were good in their singing and dancing. What I didn\'t like was the lipsyncing. It lost the live and raw feeling you would get in a theatre - it was just too obvious. *Okay

I never finished this and I simply can't bring myself to do so, so I'll just give it a generous 40 and call it a day.

BECAUSE JELLICALS CAN WHAT JELLICALS DO AND JELLICALS CAN WHAT JELLICALS DO
