The music and singing was wonderful. The costumes awesome and the acting was believable. The dancing was syncronised beautifully . My only disappointment was the stage setting was a bit dreary.

Absolutely loved "Cats". The show is a little slow in the beginning but definately ramps up and those dancers moves are phenomenal; so was the singing. Very enjoyable evening.
