CatsNewest Review: ... we knew the songs anyway, but I think the one that most people associate with Cats is the beautiful Memory, made famous by Elaine Paige. In this production, it is performed by Dianne Pilkington as Grizabella and she was superb, receiving enthusiastic applause and even some cheers. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one there who shed a tear or two. Musicals get me like that, there’s usually a teary ... more |

Last night, I took my daughters to see Cats at the Bristol Hippodrome. Its three week run there finishes on Saturday. We were lucky enough to get really good tickets and to sit on the second row of the stalls, so we had a great view. But a good night’s entertainment at the theatre doesn’t come cheap. Tickets range from £17 to £34, so it’s an expensive night out, but we loved it and I would definitely recommend it. So what is Cats about then? Musical fans will probably know already, but if you don’t, Cats is a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The lyrics are from T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, which I remember reading at school. All the ... Read the complete review

I went to see Cats at the kings theatre in glasgow. I am 19 yrs old. I got the tickets as a christmas present from my sister. I was looking really forward to it because i had never seen it before. When I went I enjoyed every moment of it. The costumes were amazing and I was very impress with the performers, they stayed in charector throughout the show. They also came off the stage and went into the audience which i like very much. The rum tum tugger was very funnyI like him. They all were very good. Brilliant show I fully recommend it. I think the show was a great day out for everyone who has seen it :) Catsmad ps I enjoyed it so much. Ihave now ... Read the complete review

Not one of my longer opinions, but it's more of a wake-up call to anyone in the London area who thinks that they could go to see "Cats" any time, after all, it's been on for years hasn't it? I don't suppose that there are many people who haven't heard of the Andrew Lloyd-Weber's musical "Cats". Based on T S Elliot's poems from "Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats", it has been part of the London theatre scene for many years. In fact, it has been staged at the New London Theatre, Drury Lane WC2, for most of the venue's lifespan, having been built and opened to the public in ... Read the complete review

I had never really fancied seeing Cats for a number of reasons. Firstly, the only song I could think of that had anything to do with Cats was 'Memory'. Secondly, I wasn't really into the idea of sitting in a theatre surrounded by lads and lasses in leotards, prancing around around the stage with feline dexterity. My hard feelings were melted somewhat when I saw the Cats show on the BBC and thought, when I'm next in London I'll give it a go. The minute you walk into the auditorium at the New London Theatre, you are met with an oversized junkyard - the ideal playground for Cats. After a bit of confusion I managed to locate my ...

Cats is the extremely popular musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It is one of the most popular shows in the West End and I was lucky enough last night to spend the night watching it. I havent been to many shows before in London. My only other experience was Les Miserables which I saw a few years ago. Cats is performed at the New London Theatre which can be found on Drury Lane in the heart of the West End. The Theatre is the newest of all the major London Theatres. I drove to London and was surprised to find a few NCP car parks near. Of course they are very expensive but the one I found seemed to have a special offer for the night which was £10. Tickets for the show ... Read the complete review
