      I’ve been a theatre kid for my entire life. I’ve seen and helped produce hundreds of plays over my life.

      Cats is incredible and the reason people don’t think so is snobbery. I know you’ll disagree and I don’t care. I’ll die on this hill.

          cats is a weak story with disconnected songs

          Yes and that’s it’s point. Its fun, it’s dumb, and it doesn’t really have any drama that you have to follow. Its not supposed to be a “solid or serious musical”.

          I imagine you’re also the type of person who doesn’t like the first couple of fast and furious movies. And there’s nothing wrong with that, different stroke for different folks and all that.

          Plus, Cats is so much fun to actually put on. I’m a tech guy, but Cats is one of my all time favorites to do because there’s a ton that happens, and it’s super flashy which is really fun to program and manage. But that doesn’t really matter for how good a musical actually is.
