Cats (2019)

strange. i’ve never seen the entire play (i’ve seen bits and pieces) but i knew it was strange to begin with. i do think jennifer stole the show, no surprise there. didn’t love the modern choreography they gave to derulo and his backup dancers. mostly i was irritated by the proportions. they were not only incorrect, but also inconsistent. the sets were too large and the “cats” would be more like large bird size at that ratio. i definitely won’t watch this again. i wanted to see it to understand what the musical was about since it’s one of the few i haven’t seen. i think most of it is pointless honestly. there are some metaphors, some important characters and lessons. but mostly this play is ridiculous nonsense. if you’re going to write a show at least give it substance.
