CATS Review 2019 US Tour 6

I saw CATS in June of 2019 and it was my first exposure to the Andy Revival and I remember I was so upset XD.

CAST is here.

I was right, the Mistoffelees I saw was Tion Gaston.

I do remember he was a sweetie and so cute and talented. So none of this criticism or bitching is to him at all. <3

NGL – This was the first version of CATS that halfway pissed me off. But this was the same year the 2019 movie came out as well so I was already an angry annoyed CATS fan to begin with.

Tugger’s number was so weird and had the giant mirror that randomly showed up out of no where. This was the Tugger that was so loud it hurt my ears. His microphone made his voice louder than the music and physically hurt.

This was the first time I saw the extra Mistoffelees scenes however where he did a conjuring turn during Tugger and during the Jellicle Ball. I liked the extra scenes.

All of the songs had extra dance numbers slipped in – the random tap dancing during Mistoffelees really bothered me.

Misto didn’t finish the magic trick. The kittens did it for him. And when he disappeared was when we got the gazillion strobe lights turned to the level of the sun and blinded literally everyone in sight (I’m convinced Tion was just as blinded after it was over).

I kept joking with my friend “We get it – he disappeared”

I really don’t remember much from this production tbh. I just remember leaving extremely disappointed that while I saw CATS – it wasn’t CATS if that makes any sense?
