cats is completely fucking bonkers. every single review you’ve read about it? absolutely true.
there’s cat-shaped clouds, a woman literally throwing away a person cat in a bag, a catsino (as in a casino for cats), mouse people, ROACH people, a cat unzipping her own skin, “milk” pouring all over cats’ faces while jason derulo sings completely indecipherable lyics, almost-toe-sucking, the world’s least intimidating gang, snot, a food-induced orgy in a pile of trash, cats wearing shoes, cats wearing pants, cats wearing coats made of their own fur, whatever tf is happening with judy dench’s legs, human hands everywhere, nuzzling, more snot, ian mckellan meowing (which none of the other cats really do!), judy dench lounging smugly in a cat bed because she was at least smart enough to refuse to do any actual work, enough uses of the word “ineffable” to make you wonder if the screenwriters lost a bet with neil gaiman, a catnip-induced orgy, taylor swift badly in need of more lessons in cat school, even more snot, murder, idris elba basically naked, an absolutely terrifying break of the fourth wall, SO MUCH nuzzling, an attempt at a les mis-style ending moment that fails on every single level to be compelling in any way, and far, far too much leg-spreading for a pg-rated movie.
it is an abomination of a film, and i could not possibly recommend it more.

That would be enough (for me)-Hamilton
London has been waiting for over 2.5 years for one of the biggest musicals to cross the pond. Everyone wants a ticket and it finally opened at the newly refurbished Victoria Palace Theatre. Having been listening to the soundtrack since it’s release and watching the various Hamilton clips on Youtube, I was so excited to see this musical that I was like a kid counting down to Christmas.
Eagerly sitting in my seat, the opening (being one of my favourite numbers) is good, but didn’t knock me off my feet.  I feel Burr needed more swag and he didn’t hit the lines enough and then when Hamilton (Jamael Westman) enters I felt his stage presence was standard, nothing to go home and talk about… That said, as the song progressed, the cast’s energy was fantastic and the staging/ choreography throughout was the real highlight for me!
I throughly enjoyed the first half - moreso than the second half, as I felt the second half was just about Eliza (Rachelle Ann Go) and Hamilton.  It seemed to drag and Rachelle Ann Go really should have not been part of this cast, she brings nothing to the role and is forgettable. I really enjoyed the performances of Obioma Ugoala (George Washington) and Michael Jibson (King George), they were truly remarkable in their roles. Obioma is a natural in the role and you understood every lyric along with his relationship with Hamilton.  Perfect casting!  If there was a role exactly perfect for anyone that would be King George for Micahel Jibson, his comic timing was spot on, vocally dynamic and humourous yet sinster along with holding the audience in the palm of his hand.  He truly was the stand out and considering he only has one solo, that is saying something of this man’s talent!  Rachel John really shone as Angelica, she led the pack of the Schulyer sisters and conveyed her emotion throughout.  Her impressive rapping skills in ‘Satisfied’ were astounding and her un-dying love for Hamilton was heart felt.  Another perfromance I thought was enjoyable was Jason Pennycooke whose roles were Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson - another founding father. Pennycooke’s energy and charmisa in both the roles were infectious and his solo of ‘What’d I Miss’ was superb, adding a bit of glitz and swagger to the show.
I thought the musical was sleek in terms of staging, set and costume and especially Andy Blankenbuehler’s  choreography, which is stunning and deserves a second mention. The music and lyrics are pure genius and I do love the songs. For me the downfall was partly the casting, I really feel Jamael Westman, Giles Terera and Rachelle Ann Go weren’t up to standard, compared to the likes of the Broadway cast and it’s creator LIn Manuel Miranda.  With Leslie Odom Jr. and Phillipa So I felt like I was missing out because of some of the casting.
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s ground breaking hip-hop musical is about one of America’s lesser sung founding fathers.  While a Broadway audience can relate to the story as they’ve been taught it from a young age, I don’t think the English audience have this affinity with it and quite honestly do they really care for the story as such?  Part of this is because the lyics, rapped at a pace, are not entirely clear and it’s difficult to keep up.  This is not just me being condescending, it’s comments which I have heard from other theatre-goers.
I do think that people have been caught up in the hype of it all.  Things aren’t always what they’re cracked up to be.  I don’t regret the money I spent on the tickets, but had I paid for the higher priced middle seats, I’d be miffed.  
The good bits of Hamilton make it worth seeing, so if you can get a ticket at a reasonable price then do so as this musical will go down in history and to miss it would be to “miss your shot”!
