So this morning I dropped by my church to unlock the doors to allow for a (rare) Saturday rehearsal for a local show - in this case, it was for "Cats," which First Stage Theatre Company will be presenting at Huntington's City Hall in a couple of weeks.
Since I'm not directly involved with the show (other than unlocking the door for rehearsals), I've tried to avoid watching the auditions - it's much more fun to be surprised by the finished product on stage. However, what I have seen looks amazing. These young dancers are amazingly talented and are tackling routines that would be difficult for the most experienced dancers. But I shouldn't be surprised - these young performers are the top talents from several local schools.
I've seen some of the makeup designs and a few of the costumes, and I'm amazed at the high quality - they're truly outstanding.
I've never seen "Cats" before, except for a number or two on video - which doesn't count, since a live performance is so much more entertaining - and it's been a long time since I looked forward to seeing a show as much as I'm looking forward to this one.
Better reserve those tickets now - this is a show you'll want to see more than once!
