Just got off the phone and confirmed my little podunk town has now downloaded the new version and will begin playing it tomorrow. Looks like I’m headi
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR 50th Anniversary Tour Dec 23

^ ^ ^ Thats how I was able to move my season ticket up, by watching the seat maps on daily basis, several times a day. It’s not that my season tickets are in a bad spot, but they’re not front row balcony. I have the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust page for JCS earmarked on my iPhone’s Home Screen.

Since the show is only 90 minutes with no intermission I’m looking at trying to buy another ticket while it’s up in Pittsburgh. Keeping my eye open on the very limited availability to see if any front orchestra or front balcony seats open up for that weekend.

^ ^ ^ sweet tip... THANKS! Very much looking forward to this. It looks phenomenal. And I’m definitely racking up some souvenirs, have been checking out their homepage and budgeting. Some of the reviews I’ve read have been quite positive.
I’m seeing this two weeks from today. Any recent viewings of the new anniversary tour by anyone on the forum? Last updates were almost two months ago in a thread titled Austin, TX. Right now the show is ending its Baltimore run today.

I’d have picked My Fair Lady over Beetlejuice as worst. lol
CATS Film Adaptation Thread Dec 21

^ ^ ^ Looks like I’ll definitely be seeing it again right after Christmas Day. Was actually going tomorrow, but this announcement will postpone that for a few days. Will be interesting to see what they’ve changed. It won’t be enough to save the film from still being burned at the stake, but it’ll give me something to do besides sit around the house.
Globefan said: "I was shocked when I discovered how minimal Taylor Swift's role was. She's probably one of the bigger names in the cast, and they do nothing with her until the end."
I was even more surprised at how big Robert Fairchild’s role is (amount of screen time) and he’s not even credited in most/all of the previews. At least I think I was looking at the right cat. LOL
As mentioned before I have never seen CATS in any previous version or rendition. And I really haven’t even been able to listen to the OBCR because I couldn’t get past the first two songs. Sounded awful. I was sure it would be better in context and in person. So I basically went into this movie blind knowing the bare, very basics of the storyline.
As for the movie, I didn’t hate it. It’s definitely different, and I think that I just sat there for a while
I’ve advanced-purchased a ticket to see this movie Saturday morning, but have never seen the musical in any way, shape, or form. I am seeing the National Tour when CATS comes through Pittsburgh in 75 days. Having never seeing the musical I’m sure I’ll be more open to this new adaptation, and from the first movie trailer never really thought it looked that bad. Actually thought parts of it looked rather cool. I’ll definitely be among the dozens of people coming back to

RUDE, RUDE, RUDE. Try to be a little nicer to people, at least during the Christmas Season.
I’m 60 and would send fan mail if I knew how and had the time. Just too busy to sit down and write a letter. Come to think of it, I haven't written a letter in decades. Maybe I could send a postcard via TouchNote, that would be quicker to draft a

This one actually sort of hurts. Loved this little show, a LOT, and the amazing cast really put forth 110% during the performance I was privileged to attend. Enjoyed the opportunity to go up on stage and take lots of pictures of the set, have a drink from the on-stage bar, and mingle. Don’t think I’ve ever been able to do that at any other show I’ve ever been to. And having front row seats, seeing the raw emotion and tears that close, was an experience I’ll never forge
