Cats

Could anybody tell me about this play? I know it's reeeally popular n stuff, but that's about it. Why is it so great? What's the storyline?

It's the stinkiest Lloyd-Webber musical. A bunch of people dress up like cats and sing. Maybe two good songs at the most. Really lame. I despise this play.

i love this musical, merely for the dancing, if you appreciate dancing, then you'll love this. They get the motion of cats just smack on, and it takes alot of skill to put it across. The costumes are fantastic, and really make you believe the cast are actually felines!

The story lines a little far - fetched, but a brilliant musical, one of my favourites, just for the stage, secenary and dancing. Its not the most musically Amazing musicals, And Les Mis beats it, however, its just a really good Musical, in my opinion obviously!

Since it's assembled from a book of poems about cats, it doesnt have much of a plotline. Basically the only plot involves the character of Grizabella the Glamour Cat--a faded old cat who once was very beautiful and had a shady past but is now scorned by the younger ones. The cats all come sing their songs (which serve to introduce them as characters from all walks of life) and dance their dances (which they won't let Grizabella join in). At the end of the show, Old Deuteronomy (the revered elder and grandfather cat) chooses one of them to ascend to "The Heaviside Layer"--a sort of cat heaven where a cat will be reborn into the next of their nine lives.

This musical kinda creeps me out.

The coolest makeup effects and it's fast paced dancing.I agree about the songs though,maybe 1 or 2 that I recall.I didn't see it on stage but rented the Film.
I don't know many people that really love Cats because it lacked great songs,that made a difference. Still,they put alot into the cat's designs and they were great dancers.
