Musicals Review:

Cats
We were so looking forward to this long running musical with such tremendoous reviews and saw it, almost, at the Pantages last night. Two words...over-rated and disappointing. In one word...Terrible. "The emperor has no clothes." We were so entertained, we walked out at intermission. We would have left sooner, but did not want to disturb the other theatre goers. BORING! Honestly, I didn't hear any enthusiastic applause ....only polite hand tapping. BAAAAD. Save your money and time and see some real entertainment. You shouldn't have to want to be entertained....you should just be entertained. Cats isn't it.
