I saw the Broadway version of Cats on PBS when I was a kid, weird show.
I saw it during the height of Covid when they did a free Andrew Lloyd Webber musical on YouTube every weekend.
Absolutely awful show lol. The “story” doesn’t make sense*, the costumes are from the nightmares of an Ailurophobic child and, most importantly, there’s only ONE good song, which they are so acutely aware of that they repeat it so much that you’re on the verge of getting sick of it before the show ends.
*they spend most of the show introducing themselves and each other and then end by explaining that cats are different from dogs. “A cat is not a dog!” is a direct full sentence quote from the show 🤦
I know that sometimes they are, but I don’t have much more info than that. I saw the Broadway version of Cats on PBS when I was a kid, weird show.
I remember borrowing that from the library a bunch of times. I liked the Broadway production.
I haven’t made the leap to see the movie though, I haven’t seen a single good review.
I think cats was a very moment in time kind of thing, and it’s easy to understand how it works as a play but not as a film.
The film making the cats much more human/cat-hybrid and much less ‘humans that kind of look like cats’ did not help.
