Kids Review CATS

Ethan and Betty before the show
The musical CATS is playing at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora through Oct. 12. Ethan S. from Nettelhorst and Betty S. from Hamilton both attended the press opening on Sept. 13, and here's what they had to say.....

ETHAN: During the weekend I went to see a wonderful play in Aurora called Cats. It was wonderful in so many ways, starting off with the songs. Magical Mister Mistofellees was my personal favorite but each song was special in so many ways. The soundtrack was definitely something I would listen to all day. Along with the songs came amazing dances that made the songs that much more interesting, vivid and amazing. I loved the acrobatics, the flips, and the dances where they just stayed on their feet. And to go with all of  this they had a simple yet interesting story that kept your attention. I loved this play very much.

BETTY: This was the first Broadway  (or at least has been on Broadway) play that I’ve ever seen and it has set my expectations high for all those to come. All the actors had beautiful voices and all of them were so flexible making the dance choreography have no exact limit. The set was very colorful, strategic, and the lighting was even part of it. This play stuck to its original roots, but still this company kind of put their own spin on it which wasn’t such a bad thing. In conclusion, my overall evaluations of this beautiful Broadway production is that it is sure to stick in my “Memory”
