Meowing with the CATS
I finally saw one of the world's longest-running musical---CATS, last night. It was awesome. Though I and my friends were seated bit far from the stage (clue: not the cheapest) but the performance was simply fabulous and catty! And the costumes were a real invention and a copy cat from the creator's mind.
The Australian cats mesmerized us with their good, quality performance and talented meowing. The stage was turned into a trashy kind of dungeon where street cats usually stay---away from dogs? The lighting effects were magical BUT the sound was pfffttttt... That's the only drawback, really.
The Chinese audience laughed, stomped their feet and clapped their hands everytime they find something amusing which is most often. So, my concentration was disturbed. Though cameras were allowed but no flash, there were still stubborn nenderthals who broke the rules and care they don't even if someone did scold them. Not cool.
And of course, the most applauded part was the when an old cat sang Memory. There was even a short part when the song was sang with an Australian twang. The audience loved hearing it in their own language. That was quiet and invention in the play.
