That's not quite the same as the Broadway cast, some of whom have
been doing it since its debut at the Winter Garden 18 years ago.

I've not yet seen Crazy for You, but the dancing talent in Cats is so
wonderful, I'll never have a disparaging word to say about it. The
routine by "Mr. Mistofeles" literally brought down the house with
cheers.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion. For my part, I thoroughly
enjoyed the show. No production is without its faults, and Cats cer-
tainly has its problems. 'Still a great experience and well worth the
time and money, IMO.

Oh please. Video? As if this could in any way approximate the experience
of seeing it live. There's no comparison. I'll certainly enjoy the video
in a vicarious sense, reliving the pleasure of having first seen it live.
