LOL I was actually surprised the first time I had heard that Cats was closing (and I felt the same way when I had heard the Fantasticks was closing and when Les Miz was closing), only because they had all been there sooo long. When a show runs a really long time, it suprises me more to hear that it's closing than a show that has only been running a year.
I would be in shock if someone said something like Beauty and the Beast was closing.
