Cats are from outerspace?

I saw the broadway production of Cats on the weekend. Although it was fantastic, it was weird. The singing was amazing - which is what made it fantastic, but still it was weird. In the end - I think it was a spaceship or something that took a cat away to be reborn? Mr Hunter told me there were some pretty serious drugs available at the time TS Eliot wrote this. Could be this, or it could be the lack of TV and the internet which created broader imaginations. Either way, I was entertained.
You are not allowed to take pics of the performance, but I got one of the backdrop before it started.

 Mr Hunter and I have actually been to a couple other productions this year I meant to post and just never did - here are my crappy phone pics of:

Beauty and The Beast

This one was awesome too. I have never seen the movie or read the book so I actually only had an idea of what it was about. I really enjoyed it.

Wicked

What a good husband I have - letting me drag him to all of these shows!

I really really liked Wicked, I had read the book this one and was super excited to be there.
Have any of you seen these shows? What did you think?
Cheers,
Carolyn
