I got tickets on Christmas day 2008. I called the day before I went to see Cats and asked if I could brin a camera into the theatre. They told me as long as i didnt take pictures during the musical. I could. Pictures before and after was ok. So I did just that. 45 minutes before show starts. I took a picture of the empty stage. The ushers saw me and started to ask questions. I told her that i called in and they told me it was ok. She argued it almost to the point of throwing me out. I ended up deleting the picture I had. During the conversation. Other camera flashes went off. I mentioned those and she told me she vid every one. She finaly left me be after erasing my digital camera.

At show time it was amasing. I had first row balcony seats. I was maybe 300 feet from stage looking down. Itt was totaly amazing during the whole performance. Each actor actress knew there part and id it amazingly. It was hard to take in 1 time cause you got so much going on the stage. During Jeny any dots. She was singing her song but you had Misto and another cat playing behind her in the pipe. During the short memory almost brun a tear to my eye. The heart ful sung song.

During the intermission Old D. had to sit on the stage and not move. He sat on his standard spot on the tire. It was funny you could see his eyes moving to look at the crowd but his head didnt move at all. He sat there still for over 20 minutes before the musical started again.

During the second half seemed to fly by Jemima words of moment of happyness realy carried out. Sounding so young and innocent. I loved the Growl Tiger song aswell. They did the opera version. It was fun to see him get what finaly should of came to him on stage. And him walking the plank was halerious. Loved Skimbleshanks The Rail Way Cat one of my favorite songs all together. Victoria had a problem keeping her wheel spinning on the part when they make the train out of junk. She did try so hard though.

Macivity was exelent aswell with his fight with Munkustrap. As he left stage we got a good boom when he killed power. The Misto was so adorable. He was a great dancer and a good voice. Streamers shot right next to me due to my seating during his dance. I loved it. Then Memory. I had tears during this song. As grizabella fell on the stage almost right next to me. I culd feel the story she was trying to tell. Again with Jemimia's voice adding more to the emotion to Memory.

Up to the Heaviside Lar was stunning. It was done perfectly. Ive heard instances of it being sung to fast. Not so for mr. It was purfectly timed and played. Finaly The addressing of the cats. Old D. Had an amazing voice that carried throught the theatre. All the cats on stage dancing and taking in his every word. It was a night I never will forget. It comes back this April, April 2010. And im already going to get tickets for it next month.
