The show Cats is the lamest, most tedious excuse for a musical ever written or performed. (But I should point out that I have never seen anything of Starlight Express, which may be even more awful.)
Its box office popularity seems to be the ultimate success of marketing over quality in the history of musicals.
The only conceivably worse concept for a musical would be one based on horses. (Please, don't tell me if it has been done.)
Wait a minute: come to think of it, a musical performed by a cast of 30 two-person pantomime horses might be better than Cats.
OK, it's good to get that opinion off my chest after 20 years. It's what's blogging was designed for, isn't it?
I knew we had to agree on something. I once sat through that musical on television waiting for something to happen. It didn't.
ReplyDelete...and I love musicals.
