I disagree. Have you ever seen a production of WEST SIDE STORY or A CHORUS LINE where people couldn't dance? It's painful and it's disrespectful to the art in my opinion. CATS is another show that should only use the original choreography in my book.

I never said they shouldn't be able to dance. But I also said the choreographer should take into account each performer's abilities and taylor the choreography to them since their skills will be limited. This is community theatre. People won't be paying $100 to see the show. Broadway-calibur performers aren't needed. It all depends on the choreographer. And no, I've never seen WSW, I don't think of it as a very engaging tale.

The original choreography for CATS isn't licensed. So, in fact, using the original choreography in a community theatre production is PLAGIARISM.

I lived in fear of community theater productions of CATS and now they're becoming a reality! Heaven forfend!
