I'm going to see the musical Cats! Can anybody give me a short summary of what it's about? (I know that it's about cats)

If you Are looking for a solid throughline to the story, DON'T. CATS is a show that was complied together from a number of poems and short stories. The the music, singing, the costumes, the set and lighting are great so enjoy the eye and ear candy but don't look too closely for any deeper meaning.

Get yourself a copy of Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by TS Eliot. The poems found therein are the songs found in Cats. This musical has no real, clear, defeinitive through-line. The ctas are merely introduced. They sing. They dance. Your butt gets sore. You curse the day Andrew Lloyd Webber was born. You go home dissatisfied.

Absolutely nothing. It's awful. Tech-wise, it's amazing; but, the show sucks.
Basically, they are having a gathering of all the Jellicle Cats. Every year, they choose one cat to be reborn. They spend the entire play introducing the various cats who are up for rebirth. They have very little connection to one another. Then, one gets chosen. I won't give away which one, even though it's pretty obvious when he/she gets onstage for his/her first ong.

A group of cats try to decide which of them is deserving of going to kitty-cat heaven. They sing about it. One of them wins.

It's about the secret life of felines; a life that their human caretakers know nothing about with secret names and secret social activities and a cultish philosophy of salvation that promises the hope of a better life in the world beyond.
