CATS Now and Forever
So CATS Now and Forever is showing in Manila soon. I’m kind of wishing I had the money to actually go and see it, but as the cheapest ticket price for the show is p1000.00 and the ToyCon 2010 is in about 6 hours, I’m not going to be able to buy them.
Most don’t know this, but I love musicals and the theater. Back in Hawaii, we used go on field trips to the theater all the time and watch plays. I remember this one prodcution of The Jungle Book. They had put this huge jungle gym in the middle of the stage and the actors would deliver their lines from various heights as if they were up in trees. It was pretty awesome, especially if you were 10 years old.
Since I left the Hawaii Public School System, I rarely get the chance to see any plays, except for a few at the University of the Philippines. Mostly I stick to DVDs of the movie versions. Both my copy of RENT and Moulin Rouge are worn out. I’ve got some of those classic musicals like Sound of Music and Singing in the Rain, too. There’s just something about a story where people just break out into songs that makes a movie more fun.
I was able to catch Avenue Q a few years ago. That was absolutely awesome. I doubt that CATS has any compulsively masturbating muppets in it’s cast, but I’m pretty sure it’ll rock just the same. I mean it’s not that Batman Musical I keep hearing about, but it has been as one of the longest running productions so it’s gotta be good right?
Maybe I can scrounge up some cash and just sit in the back…

If you're looking for biased, one-sided views of toys and other assorted geekery, then you're in the right place. If you want objective, you'll need a blog written by someone who isn't an obsessive geek.
These are my views on various toys, movies, places, and things, along with assorted pictures and the the occasional link to stuff I find sufficiently geeky.
Enjoy your stay and leave a comment.

I may give you a half-way serious answer.
