the CATS out of the bag! I made the news!
September 15th, 2008 by Melanieerica hansen (formerly from showtunes saturday night) is the arts & entertainment reporter for the deseret news. she heard about my love of broadway and cats through my group contacts at broadway across america and called me last week for an interview.
seeing as we both love “all things broadway” our phone conversation was as comfortable as talking with an old friend. cats was the first broadway show i saw in new york city. it has always held a special place in my heart and i was happy to share my thoughts on the show. (of course, i’m happy to share my thoughts on ANY broadway show at ANY time with ANY one!) go figure!
the broadway show cats has always been a big part of my kids lives. when mitchell wasn’t even two years old he’d stand in his crib first thing in the morning and say, “mamma, uh cereal, uh cats!” i’d get him a bowl of cereal and then he’d watch the cats video. morgan and mitchell knew all the dance moves and even jumped off the couch the same time mr. mistofolees jumped off the stage on the show! this thursday night we are going to see cats as a family and i can’t wait! just as cats was MY first broadway show, it will be the first show for my youngest 3 kids also! i’m happy i get to share this MEMORY with them!
