Preamble:
Cats is a musical - turns out its pretty divisive and has ranked, so far, as the least favorite musical amongst the Gladiator PAX. Lot's of other people liked it, however, because it...- Played on the West End for 21 years
- Played on Broadway for 18 years
- Played in Hamburg for 15 years
- Is still playing in Tokyo at a dedicated theatre (over 10,000 performances and counting)
- It's better than "Dogs: The Musical" because that doesn't exist yet
- It's got some iconic dance sequences - specifically Mr. Mistoffelees Conjuring Twirl
- Everyone on stage is dressed like a cat so no matter what you're wearing you'll feel better dressed
- It's currently only playing in Tokyo which means you have to visit Japan which would probably be really cool
