Simply A Masterpiece

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This musical of Cats is the most favourite musical show because the first ever time I went to see cats the musical was in the Blackpool Grand Theatre when I was on holiday with my mum and dad. My dad said to me and my mum would you like to go and see cats the musical that was produce and directed by Andrew Lloyd Webber .The reason why I have chosen cats the musical is that it's an excellent musical and I love all the songs and dancing but I don't like Phantom of the Opera musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber it's not a good musical because I don't understand the French language and I also don't like opera songs all the way from this musical it's not the best musical to go and see . The favourite actors/actress of the cast of cats the musical is Victoria she is the excellent ballet dancers and I like it when Rum Tum Tugger jump off the stage to sit next to someone in the audience which I think that was the best idea that ever Andrew Lloyd Webber has done by letting one of the cast to jump off the stage to sit in the audience and he was so funny as well in the audience. I love all the other cast as well but the main person I look up to as a role model is Victoria because when I watch her on stage she has all the confidence to perform in front of an audience so that why it has helped me to build up my confidence to be able to sing and dance in front of an audience at my college performance . My dad got me an autograph from the main cast member which was called Old Deuteronomy who signed the programme book at the interval so that my dad came back to the seat next to me and hand me the programme with the autograph on it . My mum also brought me the cats the musical light up badge which I have still got today in my memory box. The other musical which is also second best is the Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream coat that is done by Andrew Lloyd Webber which also the most interesting musical and its colourful which is more eye catching for other people to see .

The Cats film version is a celebration of music, dance and visual details. The cast is magnificent, the music catchy and energetic, and the costumes and make-up couldn't in my mind be any better. I have seen the Cats film about twenty times, and every time I found some new detail to admire. I doubt this film will ever grow old for me, that much I love it. The cast is as said, immensely talented in dancing as well as singing and acting. My personal favourites were Michael Gruber as Munkustrap, John Partridge as Rum Tum Tugger (he simply oozes sex appeal!), Aeva May as Demeter, Veerle Casteleyn as Jemima (those eyes!), Jason Gardiner as Alonzo, Karl Morgan as Pouncival (my favourite, although he has only a minor part), Jacob Brent as Mr. Mistoffelees/Quaxo and Jo Bingham as Etcetera. To be truthful, I loved every single performer in the show. Elaine Paige was good as Grizabella, and Memory is a hauntingly beautiful song, but in my mind, this part of the show is a bit over advertised, as the show in whole makes Cats what it is. As for the missing plot, all I can say is that those who say there is no plot at all, you haven't been paying enough attention to the show. There indeed is a plot, although it only runs on the background. But this plot is not the major point in Cats. It's the ingenious lyrics of T.S. Eliot turned into captivating songs, the stunning dance choreography and the eye-catching costumes and make-ups together that create a true spectacle. Besides, it's a musical for crying out loud, not some drama movie, so it doesn't really even need a plot! The music and dancing should be enough for both the mind and the eye. Some people may complain about the Growltiger's Last Stand being missing, but as I have seen a live version after seeing the video, it's not really a flaw for me. There are of course some little details that could have been better, and that is why my rating for Cats is 9/10. I know that some people don't ever really get what Cats is about, but that's just their shame. I personally think that Cats is one of the greatest musicals in history.

I always lack words when I'm going to describe CATS... It's simple and pure movie magic! So mysterious and exciting. It makes me wanna see more and more and never enough. It's night, the Jellicle Moon is shining bright and it's time for the annual Jellicle Ball, where the cats of the Jellicle Tribe gather together to dance and sing. And when the dawn comes, the Jellicle leader will choose the cat who will go to the Heaviside Layer and be reborn and come back to a different Jellicle life. Who will it be?The music and dancing will have you captivated and will make it impossible to look away. You will be amazed by the actors performances as they transform into felines right before your very eyes. There's nothing like CATS and there never will be.

This is the most wonderful Movie & Play that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Since then I have purchased the CD so I will always have it on hand when I need to see it again (and that is very Often) I wish there were more of these themes for us to see. The music is special and the dancing is spectacular. Grizabella the Glamour Cat, was outstanding and her voice so expressive that I cried.I hope that Mr Webber comes up with more of this quality of Musicals for the public, This should inspire all, that enjoy this quality of work, to seek out the best in entertainment. We all need quality and enjoyment in our live and this is without the doubt the best ever. Thank you Mr. Webber and the cast of "Cats" you were Great!!!!!
