A fun performance
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
The music, costumes, and dancing were outstanding. Cats has no story though. The theater is beautiful. The only complaint is the leg room. If you are not 5'3" and 120 pounds, prepare to be uncomfortable.

Outstanding Theatre and Show!!
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
This is the third time I’ve seen Cats in my life, but this is the first time for my 13 year old niece. I was worried that she wouldn’t understand the link between the characters and the loose overall storyline, but I was thrilled to find that she loved it as much as I did!! The performers sang beautifully and even my niece said she forgot they were people sometimes, they moved so much like her actual cats at home! It was a magical afternoon that stretched into evening as we found a lovely restaurant for dinner with many others from the show, so we were able to extend the experience in sharing the love with others who were also enamored with the cast and performance! I am so glad that we were able to get tickets at the last minute (the night before!)

CATS = High Energy

This cast of CATS had high energy the entire show and appeared to have a blast performing. Great "Memories" were obtained. Reflecting in an absolute enjoyable afternoon of Chicago Theatre!!

Spectacular!

The vocal and acrobatic talent in all of the cast members was outstanding! The set, costumes were stunning. We had such a wonderful experience (42 year old mom and 5 & 7 year old boys).

"Cats" is totally weird and delightful
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
So much fun! The choreography is amazing. For some reason I didn't think I would like this show, but I in love the first time I saw it (fall of 2022). Now I've seen it three more times.

Cats was astounding!!
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
I have seen this production on 4 previous occasions overseas. This one was outstanding!! The choreography, costumes, sound quality and lighting….and the actors abilities….was superb!! This production had a static set, but that did not detract as the whole stage space, was filled at all times with the moving story! I give this production of cats 10/10!! *Seating on lowest floor level* Whilst the Nederlander Theatre in Chicago is very beautiful, next time, I shall purchase tickets further back from rowJ, to take advantage of the rise in the floor, affording a better view of the stage.
