First Cats Reactions Call It 'Horny' And 'Bewildering'

Cats fans will be enamored with the original Broadway play right now and forever. However the new Tom Hooper-directed adaptation will be accountable for converting a whole new generation of Cats lovers, or so it seems from the earliest reactions out there so far.


The musical had its world premiere at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday night (December 16), and a number of critics came away with a number of quick takes on Twitter to share with the world ahead of official reviews. Taylor Swift (Bombalurina) attended, needless to say, as did the rest of the bombastic cast: Rebel Wilson, Jason Derulo, James Corden, and Idris Elba, to name a number of. It was a purr-fectly grand occasion.


The early impressions swirling around on social media are quite grand, as well. From what we can ascertain so far, the highly-anticipated CGI version of the classic musical is going to be a smash hit, or at the very least a visual and aural feast that already has people raving about it – in some rather uncommon ways, @we could add.


First, this gem, that calls Cats "way also horny for its own good." Not going to lie, that sounds promising.


This impression called the film "so special and unique," which is exactly what we were all hoping for.


This reaction assured us that all of the "weird" stuff in the trailers (and TBH, they were a lot) will just melt away as soon as seeing the film for the initial time.


"Strangest," "most bewildering," and "queerest?" Cats is speaking our language already.


And this surprise revelation is sending us as well.


It sounds like these preliminary social media "reviews" are quite glowing, although in the event you can't wait to be able to see it all for yourself, there isn't much time left to have to wait. You could sandwich your first viewing of Cats alongside Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker once it debuts on December 29.
