VERY DISAPPOINTED

Great job dancing, memory song lady was excellent. Store line was terrible. Had no idea what the play was about. Songs were bad. You will here the words cat and jilico like an1000 time. Actors did well but the sound and storyline Sucked Do not recommend going. Suggest skipping the first half of the play. Second half is much better.

AWFUL!! A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

I saw CATS many years ago at the Majestic and loved it. My friends and I were all looking forward to it. When the show began, I knew the cast was singing, but I was unable to understand most of the lyrics. As far as I could tell, virtually every song in the first act sounded the same and referenced Jellicose cats. The sole exception was Memory, which was beautifully done. There were 5 of us; at the intermission we discovered that we were ALL totally bored and unhappy with the show, and we decided to leave. I have never ever left a play before it ended, but I thought this performance was too bad to sit through any longer - the songs were unintelligible and all sounded the same, and the cats seemed to perform the same movements for each dance. This performance was a total bust. I have never before written a negative review of a play but this one definitely deserved it!

CATS IN DALLAS NOV 2019

We’re huge fans of Broadway and so we obviously looked forward to seeing the legendary Cats. Although we appreciate the dated show for what it was originally, its no longer relevant for audiences today. The scenes have no dialogue to allow the audience to understand what is happening and the singing isn’t loud or clear enough to hear the words. There appears to be no plot, or beginning middle and end to follow from scene to scene so its quite disjointed. I tried hard to find a story line or message, but I would hate to guess. Each scene seemed to highlight a cat but it was still difficult to figure out why (this makes sense if you’ve seen it). The music is obnoxious and the style didn’t fit at all; a 70’s keyboard style that conflicted with the performers singing. The set never changed. The problem is not the performers. The production itself is simply lazy but again, its very dated.

CATS IN DALLAS

Huge fans of Broadway. This is simply outdated and not entertaining. The entire production is no longer relevant for todays audience. Its not the performers, who could do better and move on. Go for the “memories”.

MOST BORING SHOW EVER

We went to see Cats tonight in Toronto and regretfully, I must say that it’s the most boring show we have ever seen. The performance lack energy and the set looked boring. The only good thing was that they had talented dancers but other than that, the first half actually bored me to sleep. The second half was slightly better but tonight’s show was nothing like the one we saw in London years ago. What a disappointment tonight.

PAINFUL EXPERIENCE

dancers are good dancers. Memory is a good song which repeated for three times. Yes... These are the only two compliments i can find. Other than that... The stage general performance is way below average and the good dancer can not cover up tedious plot. I would strongly recommend not wasting your two and half hours on this show.

WORST PLAY EVER SEEN

I am from Toronto and have seen MANY plays that didn’t cost nearly as much as cats and it was by far the WORST play ever. As a trained dancer myself, the dancing was not in sync what so ever, lacked energy and quality. The same dancer sequences were preformed numerous times. I fought to stay awake the whole show and was so disappointed in the amount of money we spent for this horrible performance. Even though the the story line isn’t amazing, you could not hear a single word or sentence the cast was signing. Absolute worst show would not recommend seeing what so ever!!!!!
