 I went to the musical Cats on Friday March 12, 2010. My cousin Bailey was in the play at

Viewmont High School so we decided to go see her perform in it. There were thirty students as

the principal cast members, and about sixty or more Ensembles. Bailey, my cousin was an

ensemble.

In Act One they played ten songs. One of them was The Old Gumbie Cat. It was

performed by Munkustrap, Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter, Jennyanydots, and Company.

Those are the cats from the play if you didn’t know; the real composer is Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Also in Act One they performed Grizabella the Glamour Cat. That was performed by Grizzabella

cat. Also the real composer is Andrew Lloyd Webber.

In Act Two they performed thirteen songs. One of them was Italian Aria, performed by

Growltiger and Griddlebone, composer being Andrew Lloyd Webber. Another song performed

in Act two was Memory the cats singing that one was Jemima and Grizabella. The composer of

that famous song is Andrew Lloyd Webber also.

My favorite musical number was Memory, performed by Jemima and Grizabella.

This one is my favorite because it was performed very well. I like the song too it is a very

famous song and many people know it. The song has a

slow tempo which kind of makes you calm down and the performers did an amazing job.

My least favorite was Gus: The Theatre Cat, performed by Jellylorum and Gus. I didn’t

like it because it was sad. I meant the old cat Gus is very old and used to be famous and now he

is isn’t because he is getting old. I also did like the song itself I think it was just too blah like

boring and not very exciting.

 The performers were very good. They all had good stage presence and they all danced

and sang very well. They all had good vocal skills and could really belt out the song. I could

understand what they were singing and knew exactly what was going on. I thought they did

great.

I absolutely loved the costumes! They were so creative and they looked a lot like cats

which was what you wanted them to look like. The length of the concert was kind of long but it

was good. At least they had an intermission. The audience was very respectful and clapped after

every song and they weren’t getting distracted by cell phones or anything like that.

The play Cats is a very good play. The performers did an awesome job. There were only

a few pitchy parts and some mess ups but all in all it was amazing. The costumes were incredibly

done and stage presence was great. I liked all of the songs and dances. It was kind of long but it

was okay because it was mostly exciting the whole time. I would suggest this play to people

defiantly, even if you don’t like cats. I am a dog person but I really liked this play and anybody

could go and see it.
