ACT-I---

1.Memory
This song was okay,it was the whole song,with Grizabella and Sillabub,this wasnt in the production,exactly,because there wasno mummering audience or applause in the background.**I give this,a 8 out of 10.**

2.The Overture
This song was awesome,the audience was mummering,then the music started,but it sounded like it was on a keyboard the whole time,though.**I give this,a 5 out of 10.**

3.Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats
The that sing at the beggining lines are different,Sillabub sings Demeters line,and there is a character named Rumpus,who I beleive is Alonzo,Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer sings "Ido meru ka." which is "With book and with bell." line,the choir was fantastic,and Tantomile andd Coricopat exchanged costumes with Cassandra and Tumblebrutus.**I give this,a 9 out of 10.**

4.The Naming of Cats/The Invitation to the Jellicle Ball
This was the same,but with different names,it sounded cool in Japanese!But at the end it just started the "Jerricaru catsu" part,no solo dance... '_'..."No Vicky dance...." >:^( **I give this,a 1 out of 10.**

5.The Old Gumbie Cat
This a great song,I think that the trio was great,but I have no idea who was the trio,the Japanese just said "3 Girls"...I think it was Jellylorum,Tantomile and Jemima((There is both a Silla and Jemmy in Japanese)).The "Beetles Tatto" was awesome,it had the tapshoes in it,it had two parts in it,like in video,but they did the whole thing.**I give this,a 7 out of 10.**

6.The Rum Tugger
I liked this,during the song the girls 'nyaa'-ed or 'whoo!'-ed at the Tugger,at the end there is no loud squeal from Etcety..."pou!"**I give this,a 6 out of 10**

7.Grizabella,the Glamour Cat
Jemmima sung Demeter's part,Jellylorum sung Bombalurina's part...The whole thing was great!!**I give this,a 6 out of 10**

8.Bustopher Jones--The Cat About Town?
Pretty,the guy who played Bustopher was fun to listin to,the music was made more "dignified",the song was cool!**I give this,a 7 out of 10**

9.Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer
OMG,this is the best of all,its the jazzy version and highly recommended!!I LOVE THIS!!!I think they said "not poritu"((not polite)) in the song,lol!**I give this a 8 out of 10**

10.Old Deuteronomy
This is....loverly!I think this is the best song in the whole musical,Old D. has a wonderfull voice too!**I give this a 9 out of 10**

11.The Jellicle Ball
.....Woah....**I give this,a perfect 10 out of 10**

12.Grizabella ((In Japanese its marked as "Memory"))
Jemmima sung Demeter's part,Jellylorum sung Bombalurina's part,Memory was cool ((I give this a 7 out of 10))


ACT-II---

13.The Moments of Happiness
This was cool,Old D. has a beautiful voice,Sillabub does too.**I give this,a 4 out of 10**

14.Gus,the Theater Cat
Jellylorum has a great voice,and Gus does too!!!

15."Growltiger's Last Stand"
This was great,the siamese were great,and I Una Temmpeta was sung in Japanese,but at the end,when Jellylorum and Gus sing it in Italian **I give this,a perfect 10 out of 10**

16.Skimbleshanks,the Railway Cat
This song is great!When the train is put together,at random times,there's a train horn.**I give this,a 5 out of 10**

17.Macavity,the Mystery Cat
**CRASH** all the girls:"MAKABITI!"
This is a good song,Bombalurina and Demeter at last!!!At the end,when the "Old Deuteronomy" theme is playing it goes like this-
--spoken--
Sillabub--Orodu Deuteronomy?
Munkustrap--Orodu Deuteronomy?
Rumpelteazer--Orodu Duteronomy,haduko?
**I give this,a 7 out of 10**

18.Mr Mistoffelese
This was cool,and I think this song got the loudest applause.
*I give this a 9 out of 10**

19.Memory
WHOAH!!! **I give this,a prefect 10 out of 10**

20.Journey to the Heavyside Layer
I think Im going to cry tears of happiness **I give this,a 8 out of 10**

21.The Ad-dressing of Cats
...I have nothing to say...**I give this,a 9 out of 10**

22.Memory
...see #21...**I give this,a perfect 10 out of 10**

There's an Anime movie called The Cat Returns out now

September 30 2004, 12:48 PM 

I know of an anime movie by the creator of Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke about Cats it's called " The Cat Returns" I own the Japanese import but I haven't watched it yet as I can't understand enough Kanji to now how to turn the english subtitles on but it's a about a human girl who falls in love with the Prince of the Cat kingdom and he takes her there and she starts to become a cat herself. I'll let you know more about it as soon as I watch it today.

In Misto's song, Tugger was like "Reddies and Gentreman"
and in Skimble's song they sing the chorus in English.
