I am completely in love with the movie musical Cats. I seem to find that most people find it completely strange and useless (okay I admit, at first people dressed up as cats singing and dancing does seem a little strange) but it is truly a masterpiece. When I was younger, one summer I was completely obsessed with the musical. I swear practically every week I would check out the movie from the library, and when I didn't check out the movie, I would check out the CD's of the music! I was that obsessed. But now, I haven't seen the movie for a few years, and I tell you, that I still believe it is purely genius. I think the obsession started after my mom and I saw it at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater near Minneapolis one year, and then a few years later, I saw it again when it came to the Washington Pavillion. I believe live performances are always the best way to see theater, but this movie does the musical justice.

Grace. I love you.
ReplyDeleteI watched this movie when I was a young child. I didn't understand the point of it, but it did strike me as interesting. We will have to watch it one day!
