The original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom, School of Rock, Sunset Boulevard), original scenic and costume design by John Napier (Les Misérables), all-new lighting design by Natasha Katz (Aladdin), all-new sound design by Mick Potter, new choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton) based on the original choreography by Gillian Lynne (Phantom) and direction by Trevor Nunn (Les Misérables) make this production a new CATS for a new generation!

    Has Cats Withstood the Test of Time?

    by ChicagoViewer on 5/4/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Most of the play was good, but some scenes were just too long...I enjoyed it more the first time I saw it when it first came out.

    My husband and I have both wanted to see CATS for a long time. We were not disappointed at all. While our seats were off to the side of the main level, they characters venture into the audience, and we felt almost part of the musical. The cast was fantastic, and while we weren't expecting no spoken word at all, we were still able to understand the plot. However, I don't understand why there were so many children there. It's not what I would consider a kid's play. The only critical thing that I could point out is that we had some empty seats near us, that during the intermission, people from the back came up and moved near us and then started talking/eating/playing with their cell phones. The ushers should pay attention to that and not be so concerned about people taking photographs.

    CATS

    by MissMcB on 5/4/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I do not think CATS should be billed as a musical. It is a ballet, it is a rock-opera, but it is not a musical. The dancing was superb, and the performers were top-notch. I am usually a fan of Andrew Lloyd Weber, but the songs were forgettable, with the exception of "Memory." If you want to see some great dancing, it is worthwhile. Otherwise, I would pass.

    waste of time

    by preferdogs on 5/4/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Have always heard so much about "Cats". So I took my 15 year old daughter to see it. When I was growing up I remember the commercials when it was first here in Chicago. I loved the song "Memory". Well that was the highlight of the show. Beautiful song and sang beautifully be the actress playing the glamour cat. Other than that, I felt like I was listening to a bunch a of alley cats screeching out songs. Disappointed in play in general. What a bore. Left before second act finished. Maybe I am just a dog person.

    Worth every minute

    by Theatrefiend on 5/4/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Cats is a play that I've been waiting to see for a long time. I was a bit surprised that there is basically no dialogue. The entire story is told in song. That threw me a bit as it was a little hard to follow. That being said, the show was outstanding. The physical acrobatics are mind boggling and the vocal skills of the players are top notch. When the old cat sang "Memories" the chills ran down my spine and my eyes teared up. WOW !! SEE THIS PLAY !!

    My daughter (4 years old) and I both loved it. The next morning she asked if we could go again.

    The costumes were great, but there wasn't much of a story and most of the singing was too loud to understand the words.

    CATS...amazing

    by LLZS on 5/4/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Loved the grace of the cats, the music, the costumes, the drama of aging and its losses, the spirit of the dancing. The Siamese cat was incredible...graceful beyond belief.

    Cats was inspiring!

    by nytclb on 5/3/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I saw Cats on Tuesday. I was never more taken by a song than when Melissa released a heart felt "Memories." It sent chills down my back and tears to my eyes. This is a must see performance! You will not regret it! I thank the entire cast for giving me something to remember. Well done!!!

    Cats was exceptional!

    by Annro on 5/3/12Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Performers were great and voices fabulous! I saw this 20 years ago in NY and this was at least as good, if not better!

    Costumes, dancing, and singing were great! Plot moved slowly - not much of a story to follow which made it kind of boring. Found myself counting down the scenes until it was over.
