Back on the terra fur-ma of a stage, this rebooted Cats repaired some of the reputational damage done by the Hollywood folly.
Directed by Drew McOnie, the artistic director of Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, who was also behind the current acclaimed production of Jesus Christ Superstar starring Sam Ryder, this version of Cats wisely focused on the dancing and the darkness. And so it should have. Because the big issue with Cats, and it’s sadly an intractable one, is its plot. Or, should I say, lack of it.
