Something I have been putting off for months is finally happening.
My husband just cued up Cats.
And there’s already a small edible inside me.

Oh yep, it’s a beautiful day down here in Uncanny Valley
I have suddenly pulled from the back of my brain a memory of discourse about a “Buttholes Edit”
This Jellicle song is one million years long
Is there another Jellicle song?? Like, they have not even covered a group introduction. No nice to know you, where you from. Straight to Jellicle, a chanting number, and back to Jellicle again. 0 to 100.
I’m not mad at the performers in this. They’re talented and fun and giving it their all, which almost makes it worse. This reminds me of when I saw a performance of Elf: the Musical and the performers had clearly given up but in a way where they were SELLING IT.
Why are the mice so smooth

Grizabella is the best cat
Cats with lip gloss
Wait why did they CGI the water going into James Corden’s mouth??
I understand that I am a year late to this phenomenon. I needed the time.
Emotionally, this year has reduced me to Barge Cat, and I can’t stop laughing at that thought
2020 was not a very Jellicle year, let’s say that
This is circling all the way back around to enjoyment for me. It’s the dance numbers. I’m susceptible to dance numbers.
Cats is a YA novel. Everyone is found family, they’re trying to find a chosen one, and everyone is feeling A LOT.
“Would you like to see me make the Jellicle choice?” Bro we just met
Oh is the Theatre Cat just the Phantom of the Opera in 50,000 years after the post-nuclear era?
Petitioning for a musical to explain all Andrew Lloyd Weber musicals into the same universe.
WHY DID THE SCALE OF EVERYTHING JUST BREAK? THEY ARE TOO SMALL FOR THESE RAILWAY TRACKS.

I’m sorry but you’re telling me the last thing Taylor Swift did before releasing two cottagecore albums in one year is she did this? Advice I’m taking from this: Do whatever you want to with your career.
Am I to assume that it’s only at this moment that they’re all doing drugs together, and not at any point prior to this?
I’m sorry but I do not understand the rules
The rules of this world. Did I miss the world-building?? The part that later holds up the climactic twist? Oh my god.
Oh so Mr. Mistofelees is the kind of cat that steals your hair ties. Got it.
His song has big “hoping your friend doesn’t cry on stage at the open mic” energy
And then with the support of the crowd, he nails it at the open mic and never has self-esteem problems again. He’s flying now. He can do anything. He sees through the fabric of the universe.
Jennifer. Hudson.
Tell you what, this is definitely a better musical than Love Never Dies (the SEQUEL to Phantom, if you are unfamiliar). It has every possible dramatic ending happen in about the last five minutes.
So this really is a competition to see who gets to die based on being the saddest/best/cleverest cat. My ultra-futuristic, nightmarish theory about this being 50,000 years after Phantom holds up.
This dude.
A Cat is Not a Dog. Go home, everyone.
Can you imagine if every time someone wanted to adopt a cat, this was presented as the best instruction manual to owning cats? No explanation.
Welp. It’s over. I couldn’t for the life of you tell you what order that all happened in.
