Posted: 11/5/04 at 12:25amI think *CATS* is ready for a *NYREVIVAL* of Cats.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 12:25amAs much as I love cats, it really is too soon. They have to wait until most people who got to see the original are dead, or by that time too told to remember because it's so hard to recreate something that distinct and amazing and make it much different. But trust me - I ADORE Cats.

Rosalynn -
Please change your icon. The gorgeousness of him keeps getting me excited that he's responding to my message. But then I forget - it's hugh, not anyone on here. It's wildly distracting

Posted: 11/5/04 at 1:04amBut some people (like me) missed the original CATS...so I'd like to see it redone just to say "I saw cats on broadway".

Posted: 11/5/04 at 1:20amIt's waaaay too soon. Wait 15 years, then talk to me. Actually, 35 might be more realistic. Guys, even shows that ran for only 2 or so years have to wait 10+ years to be revived.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 1:32amI refuse to believe that this is a serious inquiry, and accept it only as another Bronx attempt to stir the sh*t, however boring it may be for everyone else. Updated On: 11/5/04 at 01:32 AM

On Broadway? No frigging way. It was overproduced the first time around and inspired a whole line of overdone, halfbaked shows.
You want to revive it? Take it off-Broadway, into a smaller house, where the material can stand on its own merits as opposed to being all dressed up with really nowhere to go.
But either way, it's too soon. The damn thing just closed. Let it rest in peace for a while, okay?

"Cats! Proves that mediocre, often passes for the best.
When it outruns all the rest you'll go so...
Ouch, ooh, what a situation

Lets stop...
Please stop

Posted: 11/5/04 at 12:19pmIf I never in my lifetime see a Cats revival, I will die happy.
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 12:42pmI believe the hard and fast rule is a show cannot be revived until the number of years have passed equal to the number of years the show ran, x15.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 12:46pmWell, if it isn't, it should be. Cats not being let back on stage until 2304 suits me fine. I can't believe they actually want to bring the UK tour back in to London's West End NEXT YEAR though.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 12:47pmPlease. You people let STARLIGHT EXPRESS run for 45 years. This is to be expected.

I get lost, unless, of course, I'm getting found.

Posted: 11/5/04 at 12:49pmOnly if they include a new ending where all the cats cheerfully drink some spilled anti-freeze.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
