Cats
The musical about the animals, not the animal itself. We went on a company holiday field trip yesterday to go see it. I have to say, it was not worth the money or the time. The singing was bad, the dancing was bad, and the costumes pretty much sucked, too. It seemed as if they were uncoordinated on all fronts. Their voices didn't mesh well and their movements were off in terms of timing and limb angle. They charge money for this?!
I was tempted to leave and go shopping, but I stuck around for the whole thing so I could say that I have 2 whole musicals under my belt. That was hard work, man.
And if anyone out there has any idea what "jellicle" means, shoot me a note to explain, please.

The note from Nadsy is that "jellicle" is "dear little" with a cockney accent.
That makes it even worse. And here I thought a "jellicle cat" was something special and magical, when all they're really doing is singing "dear little cat" over and over.
Bah!
