Cats

Cats

Since watching the filmed version of Cats as a child I have always loved everything about it. The characters, the costumes, the songs. It's quirky, entertaining and has something for someone of every age to appreciate. We even had a pet cat called Skimble when I was younger which is the name of one of the characters. 

When I was in high school I had the chance to go and see the performance of Cats on stage and jumped at it. I would have loved to be closer to the stage because some of the cats sit on the audience members laps and interact with them but I was on the balcony so didn't get to experience that. 

As a live performance the show completely comes to life. The music, lights, set design; it's all so fabulous and well thought out, right down to the very last whisker painted on the cats faces. I was happily sitting in the audience singing along to all of the songs which I'd learned throughout my childhood. I could watch this show over and over and never tire of it.
