CATS

Remember when I mentioned earlier that we bought season tickets to the Broadway Series at our local theater?   Well, show number one was CATS.  I was actually looking forward to this one the most because it is so famous and I had never seen it.

We bought tickets with a group of friends so we all met each other at the theater.  About half the group had seen CATS before, the other half had not.

I honestly, did not know what to expect, I kind of just went in blind.  I knew what the costumes would be like and that they would be singing "Memories" but that was it.

So what is my review?  I actually liked CATS.  Dave said once you catch on that there really isn't a plot or storyline to follow, that you are just watching a bunch of cats doing their thing then you can enjoy the show more.  I couldn't agree more.  The performance was actually very good.  The music was great and the dance/acrobatics were fabulous.  I actually wish I would have bought tickets for the girls.  I think they really would have liked seeing all the dancing, etc.  To me CATS is one of those shows that you really only have to see once, however, I would go again just to take the girls.

I also had a little extra entertainment sitting next to Dave.  I couldn't help but chuckle to myself as I wondered what Dave was thinking as we were watching cats dancing in underpants, etc.  To Dave's credit he was a great sport, he didn't complain, look bored or act annoyed.  In fact, I think he went out of his way to show that he was enjoying himself.  What a good date!

Our next show is in December and it's Mary Poppins.  I have seen it before but Dave hasn't.  It's a great show and I'm sure he'll really like this one!
