Cats
Went to watch CATS with Anni yesterday.
Was it a blast! The lighting, the dancing, the sets, the costumes, the singing, the acting, all FANTASTIC!
I wanna watch again!!!
Plus I had a rather good seat at Circle 1, near the middle.
The sets were so extravagant, yet not messy. The actors really acted like cats. And they came up to the audience seats during the intermission to sit on people's laps, meow at people and paw at people's glasses. They really, really looked like large cats. Especially the performance after mcavity's appearance and this pop-star-attitude cat was using a single spot light to make shadows as he told the story of the next cat. His shadow really looked like a cat.
Ah, I want to watch again!
And there were stoke lights and even small fireworks during the appearance of Mr Mistopheles. The fireworks exploded with smoke rings too. :D
I don't know if I should call the actors dancers, or singers, or acrobats. Because they were everything in one. I guess most of them had ballet training. And people who are good at something can do pretty much everything related to it.
And it was quite comical at times, especially with the aforementioned pop-star-att cat. What was his name again? All the female cats fawning over him was really hilarious.
Uwaaaah >.< Who wants to sponsor me another $150 to watch?
Hahaha. I wonder if I can buy a recording of it. Probably not. Nya >.<
Unfortunately, I can't put up pics of the set and actors during the intermission, because STEWPID me forgot to bring my camera. And the lighting was too dim for my handphone cam. Rargh!
My only complain is that "Memory" was sung a bit too fast for my liking. But it was a good rendition all the same, just not as powerful or as emotional as the recording I have.
As I watched Cats the one thought that kept coming back to me was why a certain friend of mine has chosen to do medicine. Because I could so clearly see him as one of those actors charming and amazing the audience.
