I'm a cat person and I've always enjoyed musicals, so "Cats" is at the top of my "to see" list. But I haven't seen it yet. Maybe the Cumberland County Playhouse in Crossville, Tennessee will do it. I saw "Fiddler on the Roof," "Oklahoma," "South Pacific," "Music Man." "Carosel," and "Brigadoon," there and they always do a great job. Sure, they're way, way, off Broadway, and they aren't in the same league as the people who did "42nd Street" in London, but they're less expensive and only 60 miles away. Maybe some day I'll see a Broadway play on Broadway.
