I voted yes only so you could have the pleasure of saying, "It wasn't as bad as Cats," with the knowledge that you know exactly what the hell you're talking about.

See? Part of me feels like I should see it, basically for that reason.

But then... I assume I don't have to itemize the many reasons I don't want to see it.

I'm torn.

As the resident Mercury cat woman, it's your duty to go and review it. Meow

If I asked someone "should I eat a giant pile of razor blades?" and they said "yeah you definitely should, just so you can say 'well, at least that didn't suck as much as eating a giant pile of razor blades'", then I would pretty much know that person was a huge dick.

If I had the chance to go for free. I'd do it.

I've heard that the cats are practical, dramatical, pragmatical, fanatical, skeptical, dispeptical and other whimsical rhyming adjectives. Can you afford to miss out?

Wear a disguise in case you "accidentally" run into Humpy at the "show".

Alison, I think we all know that no amount of "democracy" is going to prevent this from happening.

I can't believe the No votes are in the lead.

I saw this in LA when I was a lad, and I thought it was fun.

I voted no but my heart screams YES.

Also...can someone tell me what a "jellico" cat is?

One doesn't see Cats, one experiences Cats.
I vote yes, yes, yes!

Alison,
Do it for the challenge of coming up with the most cat-based puns/references for your review.

For ex., it was the cat's meow, made you purrr with excitement, as enjoyable as a cat nap in the sun, you'd have to be CATatonic not to like this show or how amazing it was to be surrounded by that much pussy.

(forgive me for the last one. I can't help myself)

@tsw
That sounds like the type of thing I would do thinking it was funny, and thinking that other people would find it funny, only to realize upon execution that other people do not in fact find it funny, and that in actuality it just makes me seem more like a crazy cat lady than ever.

Alison,
There is no "would," only "will."

Take some comfort knowing it'll make at least one Blogtowner all LOLsy.

And I find crazy cat ladiness a virtue, by the way. Unless there's uncontrollable tinkle and feces, then forget it.

When I was in sixth grade I was so into "Cats" that when our family got a cat I insisted we name it Grizabella (the main lady-cat in "Cats"). I was OBSESSED. And if Sixth-Grade Claire loved something, you can absolutely 100% guarantee that it was hideously lame - not the kind of lame that is now retro-cool, like legwarmers, but the kind that will never ever be not embarrassing, like Star Trek conventions. That is where Adult Claire currently ranks "Cats."

Food for thought.

"Do I look like a cat to you? Am I jumping around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer?"

Just say no to overwrought musicals. As Claire intimates, it will probably be about as awesome as the time you perfected drawing that C&C Music Factory logo on the inside cover of your velcro Trapper Keeper.
