wife & daughter went to see it several years ago & really rated it.

My daughter painted the Cats' logo on our house postbox and my wife has recently bought the DVD.

Soooooo - it must be good

Hello

I went with my girlfriend (now wife) several years ago. It was not very good, sorry. Although as always peoples tastes differ so you might really enjoy it.

Hasn't the production changed from the days when it was a big West End hit though ?

My girlfriend and family members saw it years ago and thought it was great.
I saw it for the first time recently - with the same girlfriend and we both thought it was er, a bit naff. Apparently, parts of the story are different and its not as good.

Sorry, but I think performing animals is cruel, so I'm going to report this thread to the moderators and get it locked.

It's no better than Dancing Bears!




No, never seen it. Supposed to be good. Report due when?

I fell asleep a couple of times during it, but then this sort of thing isn't my thing. The missus greatly enjoyed it.

<looks furtively both ways>

Just make sure you don't take any fish in there with you. Those cats just aren't to be trusted...damned urban terrorists!

i'm with you there. talent spotting is the only vaguely worthwhile diversion to be had at the feater, particularly if it's a musical. that and pre show drinks. sometimes extended to during and after show drinks.

The current production was in Norwich a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to get tickets. It sold out within days.

Never saw it in the west end but have seen the version the BBC recorded to show one christmas. Can't remember the story of that one well enough to know if they've changed the story.

I thought it was quite good although the storyline is a little weak IMO but then I did go see Blood Brothers in London 2 weeks before Cats and the storyline there is incredibly emotive so I suppose I would have found Cats weak.

The performances from the cast however were absolutley spot on and a woman sat next to me couldn't understand how they did particular bits of it. Bless.
