Anyway, I loved it.
Huge fan already of ALW - since I was a teen - primarily from Superstar, and later Phantom - didn?t really know barely anything about Cats except the main song Memory, so I had no preconceived notions going in.
Music was fabulous - maybe not the level of Superstar or Phantom, but so what.
Cats is more of a dance musical than the other two, and the dance was spectacular.
Some big name celebs were involved, but lesser known stage performers pretty much carried the show - Francesca Hayward especially. I would love to meet her at a furry party in her Cats costume, but my understanding the costumes were pretty much digitized anyway. Oh well.
Some say the story is weak, but the story is the story it?s always been since the stage debut, from the adaptation of T.S. Elliot?s book of poems for kids - a literate person with some understanding of Elliot?s philosophy and perspective of existentialism and its application to the forces that motivate human interaction in a society might claim that it is not only reflected in the story but is fact the story?s theme - but I?m not one of those people so fuck people like that.
