I. Introduction to Cats Cat is a musical created by British composer Andrew Lloyd Webber based on T.S. Eliot's poems.

The musical Cat is the most successful musical in the history of the world, the longest musical in history, the highest-grossing stage play in the world, and the longest stage play in Broadway, New York and West End of London, England.

Since 198 1 premiered in London, it has been popular all over the world for 2 1 year, and * * * has appeared in more than 20 countries for countless times in 10 language. There are more than 9,000 performances in London alone.

Cat won seven Tony awards, including the best opera award.

The song Memory in the play has become a classic in modern music.

Secondly, I can't appreciate it from the professional perspective of art, but from the perspective of ordinary people, there are many touching places that move me. Before a movie started, I saw many pairs of cat's eyes for the first time. It was scary, but it was very aura, just like a cat showing a pair of eyes in the dark. The opening music gives a gloomy feeling.

From the beginning of the play, you can see all kinds of "cats" on the stage: different colors, different faces, different expressions and different actions. I appreciate the actors' performances very much. They are realistic and flexible, which makes people feel that this is a world of live cats. In the real world, you rarely see so many cats together, and it is unlikely to see so many kinds of cats. They danced happily on the stage and tried to show themselves. This is their paradise. Behind every "cat", you can vaguely see the big social background. Here are a few examples.

1, contrast between the rich and the poor We can see an old cat wandering in front of the cinema. She is thin and dirty. Although she is poor, she is very kind, so everyone respects her, but more is sympathy for her. In sharp contrast with her, it was another shiny fat cat, wearing a suit and crutches, and everyone respected him as well. And in my eyes, cats are a little likable. Their comparison shows the gap between the rich and the poor in the cat world, but it can also be concluded that the owners of cats also have the gap between the rich and the poor. If cats are still like this, the gap between people will be even greater.

2, blind worship in front of the prestigious old fat cat, every cat wants to satisfy him as much as possible, and is constantly expressing itself. In front of Li Quan, they all hope that they can get that chance-rebirth. The old cat's choice seems to decide their life and death, so they regard the old cat as the supreme "God". What about in real life? We can also see some examples of blind worship.

For example, superstitious activities, many wizards or witches are considered as "spokesmen of God" or even "gods" after playing tricks, which has to be said to be human ignorance and stupidity.

3. Class concept Later, an old cat slowly stepped onto the stage. She is thin, with dark fur, broken claws and a painful expression. She seems to have been wandering for a long time. At this time, other cats are very exclusive to her and don't want to contact her. It seems that once they have sex with her, they will lower their status.

So, how does the old cat react to such unequal treatment? Of course, it is extremely painful.

Be ignored, excluded, left out. We are all of the same kind, why is there unfair treatment? Isn't this our reality? China's ancient society was also hierarchical, so we should be polite and not disrespectful to the world. These behaviors of cats reveal the real picture of human society.

The above is the reality of human society reflected from the behavior of cats. Besides, we can also see the moving parts of the play.

As recognized by people, the most touching thing in the play is the first "Memories", which was sung by an old stray cat who was spurned by people. The song is sad and moving, emitting a faint sense of desolation from the heart.

In fact, this song not only sings the voice of the old cat, but also sings the voice of people who are no longer in their prime but full of confidence in life.

Time is like the tide, and we will come to that day eventually. When we get old, we can still recall our past, and the best memory is that it brings joy to people. The most important thing in a person's life is how to go. If you can leave a beautiful footprint on the road and bring beautiful scenery to others, then your memory is the greatest happiness.

We can't help thinking, what kind of memories will we have when we are old? The younger generation is full of vigor and vitality. As long as you can do what you want to fight for, you will have no regrets when you are old. Do something great when you are young, don't waste your time; Of course, more importantly, what can you leave for future generations when you are young?

Looking at the whole play, I think Cat is almost perfect. Other aspects, such as lighting, makeup, clothing, stage design ... are very professional, limited by knowledge, unable to make any relevant comments.
