With the ringing of the bell, the teacher carefully prepared a musical "Cat" full of dynamic charm and flavor of the times for us. Because this is my first time to see this musical, I was deeply impressed. Although I can't appreciate it from the professional perspective of music art, I still found many places that touched me with the eyes of ordinary people. 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 am amazed by the various dances of the actors, which are very vivid and flexible, and will give people a sense of touch in the real cat world. In the real world, if you have the opportunity to see so many cats together, it is rare to see so many kinds of cats. They danced happily on the stage and showed their best.
During the two classes, I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics, mostly observing the makeup, body language and movements of the characters. Actors often lie prone on the ground, which is in line with the characteristics of cats, especially actresses who play female cats. They are naturally romantic and irresistible. Male cats are masculine and complacent. Everyone is straight as long as they kick their feet, soft as long as they lie down, stretched as long as they open their hands, and focused as long as they look around, but they are not messy at all. Actors are naive and cute when singing, and some are ferocious. The most rare thing is the expression, which is colorful. It's hard to imagine how they can behave so well. It seems that everyone thinks of himself as a cat, with different expressions, but he is lazy and doesn't open his eyes. Once it is opened, it is radiant and scary. The movement is also light and agile, and with a careful cat face, it is really as silent as stepping on a meat mat.
What impressed me about this drama was the wonderful music and wonderful lighting effects on the stage, which made people enter the wonderful mythical world. The lighting effect follows the dramatic structure and the psychological process of the actors, emphasizing its role in creating an emotional atmosphere. It gets rid of all realistic requirements and completely ignores the rationality of the color and angle of the light source. The sudden darkening of the stage shows the psychological state of a character; When a character enters the stadium, the lights suddenly light up; When the terrorist attack happened, a huge shadow appeared on the wall. Lighting is arbitrarily controlled, and its change and stillness, sudden brightness or sudden darkness are all based on the principle of obeying the needs of the drama itself. Undoubtedly, in expanding the expressive power of drama, lighting has become an inexhaustible resource for expressionists and has developed various unique expressions. Make the foreground and background blend together, and let the audience see that the background always appears behind all the action locations. At the same time, he is good at deforming reality, giving full play to the special function of lighting and creating a special atmosphere.
The stage lighting of the musical Cat makes the stage design more flexible in dealing with visual factors, from realism to abstraction, with great flexibility. The treatment of time and place is more free, and reality and dreams are alternately juxtaposed on the stage, which expands the possibility of stage time and space.
In my opinion, the most wonderful thing is that there are many people, but the clothes are different. Although it is a cat costume, it is similar to the role of modern people, including majestic old people, down-and-out old women, ferocious men, energetic men, charming women, virtuous women, black clothes, white clothes, fancy clothes, bourgeois, magicians and so on. The old cat has a hoarse voice and obvious wrinkles on her neck, which is very rare. I can see that it was played by an old man. She sang the lyrics in chunks. She looked at a husband cat in a big fur robe from a distance and sang songs to each other affectionately. These old people deserve admiration.
Cats have always been regarded as changeable animals and elusive, but what would it be like if all the characters in a play were made up of cats? The musical Cat is such a work. There are too many cats in Cats to count. I think even if you read it many times, you still don't fully understand it, because there are so many cats in it, and each has its own characteristics. It really takes a lot of brains to remember them all. Fortunately, the story of the cat is relatively simple. If you don't remember the characteristics of cats, you can still understand the play smoothly. However, if you can learn more about each cat, I believe it will make you more interesting.
This musical deeply touched me, from which I seemed to see the shadow of people of our time and learned a lot from cats. We can't make happiness meaningful because it exists in everyone's heart, but different people have different standards, which is also changeable. Some happiness can be obtained in an instant, and some happiness is accumulated slowly over the years. This drama not only made me understand the meaning of happiness, but also made me understand the importance of cherishing the present.
Comments on Musical Cat
Movie plot: The story in the play is about a group of noble cats who recommend them to go to heaven on the night of worship. They all talked about their rich life, luxurious life and the talent of their master. Suddenly, they came to the same stray cat, and they told how bleak and colorful their wandering life was and how firm their beliefs were. In the process of her narration, they also sang this classic "Memories" emotionally, which pushed the whole opera to a climax.
Makeup modeling: Every time I see this black and white, curious, naughty, elegant and arrogant kitten jumping up and down on the stage, I am so excited that I want to cry. Because this kitten represents all my bad tastes: evening dresses, tights, dancing from spring ballet to sultry salsa, and "Seeds of Love", a little male cat will naturally stay. All the cats were surprised when the worn leather shoes interrupted their pride, but two seconds later, they would sing loudly: Jericho cat is the queen of the night.
Dance: The dance and harmony in Cat are quite prominent. In order to express their feelings, directors do not hesitate to use a large number of dance scenes to express the different characteristics and personalities of cats. There are not only lively tap dances, but also dignified and gorgeous ballet, jazz dance and dynamic modern dance. How to make it look good, how to make it up, no rules, ingenuity, and eclecticism. In particular, the dance of "Jericho Ball", which lasted for more than ten minutes, was magnificent and passionate, making people fascinated. There are light and lively tap dance, dignified and gorgeous ballet, dynamic jazz dance and modern dance, which makes the whole play full of unrestrained style and vitality. Beautiful dancing and difficult movements make us realize a kind of pure and flawless beauty. Lighthearted and lively tap dancing embodies the humorous personality characteristics of nanny cats. She is very friendly. She is always busy, doing some charity work for the cat family. So everyone likes her very much.
Film Review: The scene is a garbage disposal site, where Jericho cats get together every year, and 2000-2500 props are used on the stage, including oversized toothpaste tubes and plates. One or two cats with different expressions appeared. Victoria, a young and innocent white cat, danced the welcome dance "Please come to Jericho Ball". A big Embryo Cat named Mankoo Strapp told the audience that Jericho cats get together once a year and they are waiting for their leader, old Dutronimi. Tonight he will choose a Jericho cat and send it to the ninth heaven to be reborn. Every cat is telling its own story by singing and dancing, hoping to be chosen for a new life. Mankoo Strapp introduced a female cat named Jeanne Nietzdotz, saying it was an old Gamby cat. She either sleeps or loiters during the day, but she is very active at night, catching mice and driving away cockroaches. At the same time of introduction, the cats danced a warm and cheerful tap dance. The second cat introduced is Rantatag, which is a very picky cat. The only thing that can make him happy is to make him the focus of attention. When the abandoned Grice Bella appeared, the audience was silent. She used to be a Jericho cat, but she left her family for many years and went to the outside world. Although the outside world is wonderful, her life without a team is very difficult. Now she wants to join the team, but the cats don't welcome her and show her teeth. Next is the strong Bastov? John, this is a big cat weighing 25 pounds. He always likes to show his unique identity with a white slap. Suddenly, the siren sounded and the red light flashed. It turned out that the infamous McVittie came majestically, and the cats quickly got out of the way, leaving a wide space for him. A group of pranksters also appeared. They didn't keep the cat out of trouble. When the benevolent and wise leader old Dutronimi stepped onto the stage, the audience was full of joy. This is a respectable old cat. Mankoo Strapp arranged a wonderful program for the old cat. This year's program is called "The Terrible Battle between Peck and Porico under the Porico Dog March". Two groups of cats in dog clothes barked face to face and fought fiercely, but in the end they were scared away by a dazzling and powerful cat. Then there is the cat's "Jericho Ball", an annual family celebration. Griese Bella interrupted the party and asked to go home, but her request was rejected by the cats again. She recalled the past, remembered her youth, beauty and happiness before she left home, and sang the famous song "Memories". .
After the dance in Jericho, several cats were introduced. They are: an old actor who created honor on the stage, a railway cat Shenks who works meticulously and never makes mistakes. The meeting was interrupted again, and the evil cat McVeddy came in with two accomplices and kidnapped old Dutronimi. McVittie picked up old Dutronimi and tried to control the meeting, but two cats recognized him. Mankoo Strapp led several male cats to fight with him. Seeing that he was going to suffer, he shorted the wires and plunged the meeting into darkness. Lantag invited the magician's cat, the magician successfully performed the magic, the light came on again, and old Dutroni returned to his old place. The classic Old Cat, which is good at dressing up, is Eliot's simple work, and Weber began to compose music according to this book very early. Weber originally planned to write only some Sanqu on the stage, and performed several songs he had already written in 1980.
However, Eliot's wife attended the music festival, when Eliot had died. She brought many unpublished poems and stories to Weber. These stories include the later famous Charming Cat. Eliot didn't include this finished poem in his poetry collection because he thought "this story is too sad for children".
With this information, especially the story, Weber felt that he had finally found the theme of the story, which was more like an opera with a beginning and an end. He found Nain as a lyricist and director, and they cooperated to put such a fairy tale poetry collection on the stage, which obviously did not meet the box office requirements. Pop music, hymns, religious songs, opera, rock and jazz are used in almost all types of music.
Weber likes the feeling of brass instruments and metal, and cats are no exception, but although Weber is British, this is a musical, and his attribute of being born in the United States cannot be changed.
Cats used to sing their own church songs, and it was more popular to order a cat joke. The lyrics and music are jazz. I remember a passage in the second half, which was a bit like a group dance of rich girls on Broadway.
Personally, I prefer a song by Rock Cat. The sound of electric guitar is very rhythmic, and the sound and movements of Rock Cat are exactly the same as those of British gorgeous rock DB. He is a maverick with a accent, and it is not surprising that a group of female cats fall for him.
I don't like commandments very much, but I don't know why I feel so hypocritical. Although the hero looks like a black man with a kind face. This is the only musical I have ever seen that doesn't involve love very much. It's about life and reward. Escape and return, the eternal theme, has always touched me. A little simple, but not mysterious. The essence of musical is that it has a certain commercial nature and conforms to the entertainment point of modern society. There is no doubt about it.
It stands to reason that if a play has a story. Cats have no clear story, which is scattered, but the story is fascinating. This may be an emotional flattening, focusing on the situation rather than suspense stories and suspense. Many group plays, such as "Song of the Cat in Jericho", have no narrative meaning, even interrupted dances, no lyrics, and many descriptive or lyrical paragraphs. But the emotions are well rendered.
The cat's movements are vivid, but this is during the group dance. Everyone comes out to perform alone, just like one person. All kinds of cats and people.
The charming cat was alone, and the sad and happy part, that is, the performance before the first singing, was very touching. I think everyone has such moments, self-confidence and self-distrust. Laugh or cry alone.
The feeling of this song is a glimpse, love at first sight and amazing. As long as you hear the first sentence of this song, or within a few seconds of one of the sentences, you will fall in love with it, then frantically look for it, then find it, watch it, listen to it repeatedly, and look for different versions of it. This is the same experience that many people have heard. Many people say that this song is the best. Without this song, the cat play would not be successful. That makes sense. This song is first of all a beautiful and moving melody.
Eliot's poems are not simple, but they contain profound meanings, just like something indescribable. Memory, memory is a person's most real moment, but it is also the most unreal fiction. Personal memories are recreated later, never true, all retouched, and all unbearable and embarrassing things are erased. But when a person recalls, it is really the most real state. So the old actor cat raised his head, retracted his trembling arm and raised his voice when telling a story. It's good to cut off the shadow of the tree demon. Everyone is willing to fall into memories, just like our adolescence, which is actually so messy and messy, but it keeps us remembering.
The rules of modern society, when you are old, will soon be forgotten if you are never in people's eyes.
The mood of the whole drama is one of excitement, one of restraint, one of moving, one of silence, one of sadness and one of happiness. It's very wavy, giving people a buffer platform and changing emotionally. All the lyrics, though Eliot's children's poems, have a beautiful rhyme.
The lyrics are so beautiful! The beauty of poetry lies in the poet's ability to connect the most useless beautiful things in the world, and also in the beauty of auditory art, phonology and words. Read it here and sing it with the most beautiful music.
Modern poets don't express their themes, but they can't avoid them.
People can live by memories.

My mother took me to the musical Cat. The play successfully created various images of cats, especially the wandering old cats, which left a deep impression on me.
There is an annual cat party in a garbage dump outside London. Cats came on stage one by one, singing and jumping out of their own stories and feelings, waiting for the old commandments to judge who can be reborn. Pure and beautiful snow-white cat, kind heart as spotless as snow-white hair; Hero cat, in the absence of the old commandment, is the commander-in-chief of the cat family; Rock cats show their uniqueness with their cool looks, crazy and naughty personality, gorgeous costumes and rebellious songs. There are also kind and fat nanny cats, rich cats who can play golf, always inseparable thief cats, ferocious and scary criminal cats, serious and responsible railway cats, old and paralyzed theater cats, superman cats dressed in modern clothes, and the most magical and magical cats. They all have their own strengths to be reborn.
The old stray cat is old and dirty, and no one will accept her. She sang a very touching song in a hoarse voice: "I used to be so beautiful in my memory, but now wandering makes me old and lonely." Only memories will make my life meaningful, and I can hope that the coming dawn will bring me hope. "All the cats were deeply moved, and everyone accepted the old cat as a friend. Old Wei Bo also reached out and gave the old stray cat a chance to be reborn, sending the once beautiful and charming old stray cat to heaven.

As one of the four major musicals in the world, the musical Cat left a deep memory on me with its unique style, moving songs and dazzling dance.
It perfectly combines various elements and arranges a lively cat party through dance and music. It gives a proper and perfect interpretation of every cat's personality and every story.
The dance of this play is excellent, and a large number of dance scenes are used to show the different characteristics and personality of each cat. Ballet, tap dance, jazz and other dances make the whole play more unrestrained, energetic and full of mystery. There is also a dynamic group dance that adds atmosphere, making the scene grand and eye-catching, adding a lot of color to the whole drama.
The music of this play is more brilliant, among which my favorite is Memories. Appeared four times before and after. His emotional catharsis, such as weeping, sublimates the feelings of the whole drama, and also makes the drama more full of the meaning of life and philosophical imagination. In the moonlight, griza Bella's charming cat recalled the happy time when she was young and beautiful. Her beautiful melody, affectionate lyrics and deep voice not only let the actors but also the audience blend in with her sad and lonely mood. The second performance was sung by a kitten. It is the leader cat who tells the cats that the meaning of happiness is not only now, but also things that cannot be forgotten in the past. In the moonlight, Jemima, the kitten, sang Memories, and the cats couldn't help showing their feelings. Different roles give this song different meanings, and the lonely tune becomes warm and happy, which arouses the charming cat's confidence in life. The singing aroused my infinite memories.
The musical "Cat" deeply touched me and left me with a long aftertaste.
Music cat review composition
Night arrival, welcome to the mysterious world of cats.
On the outskirts of London, there is a garbage dump. The moon rises and the annual Jericho Cat Party begins. The first one to appear is the snow-white cat. She is pure and beautiful, and her snow-white hair is spotless, just like her kind heart. Then there is the hero cat, who is the commander-in-chief of the cat family when Lao Jiebo is away. Rock cats are crazy and naughty. He is wearing gorgeous clothes and singing rebellious songs. He always likes to be different from others and always makes different choices (but Rock Cat is so cool). Then the old stray cat came back. She is old and dirty, and no one wants to accept her. There are also good fat nanny cats, rich cats who can play golf, thief cats who are always inseparable, ferocious and horrible criminal cats, serious and responsible railway cats, elderly and paralyzed theater cats, superman cats in modern clothes, and the most magical and magical magic cats, all of which appear one by one, singing their feelings out of the story until Lao Jiebo judges who can be reborn.
The wandering old cat came on stage. Her singing is hoarse, sweet but touching. She sang, "How beautiful I used to be in my memory, and now wandering makes me old and lonely." Only memories will make my life meaningful, and I can hope that the coming dawn will bring me hope. All the cats were deeply moved. With the help of Snow White Cat, everyone accepted the old cat as a friend. Old Jiebo also reached out and gave the old stray cat a chance to be reborn.
At this time, the first ray of sunshine appeared in the sky, and God's hand fell from the sky. In the cat's song "Up to Nine Days", the old man sent the once beautiful and charming stray cat to heaven, but now he is old and tired.
