I love Andrew Lloyd Webber and everything he does. Cats was no exception. If you get a chance to see it, definitely do not pass it up.
Fun. I liked it better than I expected, as I am not a Weber fan.
If you know the story, you'll enjoy it. If you don't, do a little research. Sit as close as possible to see the costumes. Very dated, but cute.
Cats was very entertaining. I've never seen it before, but I have read TS Eliot's poems, so I kind of knew what to expect. It is a bit strange (a bunch of singing/dancing cats), but it was funny and entertaining. This musical does appeal to children. There were lots of talkative (and very annoying children) in the audience, so beware.
In the heart of Hollywood, on Hollywood Boulevard, right down the block from Vine Street, stands the Pantages Theatre. It's a fitting location: The Pantages has become one of the greatest landmarks of Hollywood, signifying both the glorious past and adventuresome future of the world's entertainment capital.
The Pantages has a history as grand and diverse as the stage and screen far... More
Cats, the now-and-forever classic musical, has introduced generations to the wonders of live theatre since it originated in London in the 1980s. Andrew Lloyd Webber's pop opera that became the first of Broadway's modern "mega-musicals," Cats returns to Los Angeles for the first time in over three years. With an astounding 7,485 performances on Broadway, Cats holds the record as the longest running show in the history of The Great White Way. The show is also the longest running musical in the considerable history of the British theatre. In addition, Cats is also the longest continuously touring show in American theatre history. Based on T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats," Cats has grossed well over $2 billion and been seen by over 50 million people worldwide. And now it returns for a very brief time to bring its magic to Los Angeles' pre-eminent theatre palace, the Pantages Theatre. Let the memory live again!
