Feb 2023 CATS Review

Ah yes my last show that I saw.

I’ve been rewatching clips and I’m starting to remember that Pekes and Pollicles was the best thing in that entire play.

The entire thing was so sped up like put on 0.5 speed out of no where. They didn’t sit and enjoy anything.

Mistoffelees was Ibn Snell. The video is here.

Another cutie but the version of Misto he did was just weird. All of this extra dancing, random couple dance, again he didn’t even bring Old D back. His turns were fucking amazing though.

My face the entire production was this:

If I remember right however, we finally got a good Tugger. At least to me. He did his own thing and was hot while doing it.

However, their Pekes and Pollicles were fun. The extra Misto scenes were cool as well.

I’m hoping the next tour will get rid of this new random choreography and go a different direction. T_T. Or at least slow the hell down.

Why are we rushing things? I want to say POTO was the exact same way. Are people losing their ability to focus so badly that now musicals have to be badly sped up? >_<

Sorry if I sound like a debby downer but after experiencing the original a few times, experiencing “that revival” was a disappointment tbh. I do love CATS, I swear.
