wow only five weeks? My cast and I have a whole school year and part of summer! O.O well you guys did absolutly AMZING!!!

[ErinShephard]

Thanks! I'm sure you guys will be great as well. Good luck!

[Athena908]

wow I think did great as bomba

[ErinShephard]

Thanks so much! I had a great time and the cast for this show was absolutely amazing. :o)

[MsAmandaKWhite]

once again exactly like the movie. it really gets on my nerves when theatres just copy something someone else's conception.

be inspired but don't plagiarize another's art.

[ErinShephard]

And as it was, that's still s a lot more difficult than one might imagine. Trying to recreate the work of such great artists can be nearly as difficult as coming up with your own moves. The audience expects the show to look and feel a certain, familiar way. Everyone who saw it live loved it and the dancers (or non-dancers as it were) felt proud of their huge accomplishment, and that's all that matters.

I think you guys did really well! I used to watch the movie all the time when I was younger.

i couldnt understand what the other cat was saying but does one cat have the sweets 4 macavity!

[prettymuffinz49]

we sang this at my choir concert

[boombox889]

lmfao guys chill people ALWAYS copy the original broadway choreography. yes recreating is wonderful too but some productions just dont have the time or resources. not a crime.

this is my FAVORITE song from cats and you deff did it justice. you (great job as bombularina) and demeter definitely set the jazzy smooth and even creepy mood that is ESSENTIAL in this song. excellent jobbb! :D

[p0k3r143]

Excellent performance!! but I think the wigs are too big

[skimbles1]

first of all, you were very good as bomby. (bombalurina) and as you mentioned the 5 week rehearsal, and the difficult experience, it's just like the original productions. (london b'way) they only had like 4 or 5 weeks to choreograph the show, (such a limited time) but a you can see they turned out to be sooooo popular. . .so I bet this was a big hit, too!!! congrats!!!
