Mon 4/7/2008 2:00p | Now how did we get an ADMIN for this topic? I think some people are just purposely goading the powers that be. |

Mon 4/14/2008 8:24p | Redhead, I said my mother got it, well I did also...There was just something about it that really hit with me...Just the idea of the cat's gathering that single night to learn who would go to the Heavy Side Layer...Did I get that right??? It has been a while...Still, I don't think I need to see it again anytime soon...I think you really needed to be a cat lover and owner to get any kind of grasp on the non-existant storyline...So how many cats do you have???? |

Tue 4/15/2008 3:12a | Interesting point. I am firmly in the dog camp - I currently have two shtzus, and have had a dog in some way my whole life. I really don't like cats. Maybe that does have something to do with it.
But then again, I don't care for people who chop up other people and put them in pies... |

Tue 4/15/2008 9:31a | I don't know if it's so much about being a cat lover as being a fan of T.S. Eliot and/or Andrew Lloyd Webber. I would rather see (and listen to) Sweeny Todd, but I like this much better than Phantom, which just really didn't appeal to me. |

Tue 4/15/2008 8:01p | Well Redhead, I really understand that Cat's is not for everyone and doubt really that many cat lovers made it into the huge success it was...But having as many cat's as I have had over the years I can see where, for some, they really got the idea of that evening of the annual ball...I really do think the cat's party when you away...Fortunately for me most of all of the cats I have ever had happened to have personalities suited more to a dog...You could call them by name and they would come running like an obdient puppy...They all have been unique, giving me the idea that the brief stories told in Cat's made sense...You have no idea how much I miss Baby, Bigfat, Pancake, Bad, Pancake II, Mr. Kitty, Mrs. Kitty, Biscuit, Foot(who was terribly deformed and had only three toes on each foot) and Al...Al was really a charmer...Full name, Al A. Bama...He sat endless hours on the computer desk interested in every move I made...Then he spent the rest of his time in my drapery workroom sitting on the cutting table all over the customer's fabric...The customers never knew that but he was always there in the middle of everything that happened in this house...I loved everyone of them dearly and for me Cat's kinda played tribute to how eccentric and odd they can be...Today I have only two cats...One over twenty years old that I think is really going to live forever...I didn't mention him above since he still living...Orange...Another sad story...A crushed left rear leg we had fixed to the tune of what I would be embrassed to say...I do think he truly is going to be around for several more years...And then there is E-Lane...She is only about five years old...Rescued at about nine weeks old from the emergency lane of one of the interstates around here, hence the name....Sorry to have gotten off onto all of this additional info but it felt good for me...As you said you are a dog person...Now that is one thing I wouldn't want to see...A musical about dogs I don't think it could wow me but Cat's did for it time so who knows???? |

Would you excuse me for a moment? I think my Non-Sequitor Alarm is going off.

I've never seen Cats.
A) It's about cats.
B) The cats look like clowns.
I'm also not a huge fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber. (And, no, you can't use the fact that I paid to see Starlight Express -- and kind of enjoyed it -- against me. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.)
But I agree that "Memory" is gorgeous.

Wed 4/16/2008 1:19p | But I'm sure his "Phantom" sequel will be just great! |
