Cats is horrific, and I'm not just taking that stand as an Andrew Lloyd Webber-hater, but as someone who's well-rounded as far as musicals go.

It's aimless, amatuerish nonsense, and anyone could infer that for themselves after reading what you just described. It's poorly choreographed for one thing, some dances are completely inappropriate to what is occuring in a song, even though none of the songs make a lick of sense ("Jellicle" cats? What the hell is that supposed to mean?).
To be blunt, Cats is an awkward musical that's a ringing pain to your eyes and ears. Webber just needed to pop one out and fast, so he stuffed an old poem into his metaphorical rubbish E-Z Bake oven and garnished it with his own basting - a big semeny glob of short-sightedness.

Not to mention those horrific costumes, just looking at them gives me fleas.

Silent Hill 2 would be an excellent musical! Many PH fans seem to agree: Pyramid Head singing "I'm So Ronery" from Team America: World Police would rule! :p

Hellraiser the musical.

I made my hell and now I'll have to lie in it.
Opened a box and lost my soul with it.

But now I'm breakin' out!
I gotta scream and shout!
I'm gonna steal
your flesh I will peel
off to recreate my own!

Hellraiser the musical.

Amen.:D

I believe that most video games could be successfully changed into musicals. I'm starting to write that SH2 musical, and I was considering writing an Oddworld musical, but restraints are high at the moment when you're busy on Runescape and catching up on anime.

CATS sucked, but what can you expect. -_-;;

There are some good oddworld songs coming up in the thread of the same name. Some of those would be good in a musical.
