We love Cats but my 13 year old daughter and I used to watch it on VHS! This was supposed to be our first year going back to Silver Dollar City since 2014 when her brother was born, but we had to sink $2,000 into my husband’s truck to keep it alive until we get my car paid off. She would love to see this live. This is also the first year since his birth that we have not had to use 7-10 vacation days on a hospital visit for him – each year.
Also my favorite song is Mungojerry and Rumpleteaser, and I love the continuous cartwheel at the end of the song.
I’ve never seen it but I sure could use a night out. All I do is work. I didn’t even get to go out for my birthday last week!
We have never seen CATS and would love to take our youngest granddaughter, 9 years old, to see this play. She currently competes in and loves Musical theater. The evening would make a great “Memory.” Thanks.
I’ve never seen this show, however I would LOVE to take my daughter who happens to be graduating this year! She is a huge Broadway fan, in fact we wanted to go to New York this year just to watch a musical together, but finances will not allow It! She was granted a full scholarship into the University of Arkansas Honors program! I would LOVE, nothing more than this night out with her and other family members! Thanks for the consideration!
Would be an awesome girls night out❤️💕
Ive never seen Cats but it has been a dream of minr since I was a little girl in elementary school. I would LOVE to be able to go see it!
Memory of course!! It will be the end of the school year and this tired teacher will need a night out!! 🤪🤪
My favorite song is Jellicle Cats. I was blessed to be taken by my grandparents to see it in the original London theater 33 years ago and would so love for my daughters to experience it.
MEMORIES!!!!! Always a favorite. I saw Cats many years ago with my husband. I would love to take my daughter. She is really into musicals right now. It would be a fun night out.
Rum rum tuger
Memory is my absolute fave! 🎶😺
Oh my goodness! What a fabulous giveaway! I’ve never seen Cats but I’ve heard the music! Memory is just breathtaking! My husband and I have four kiddos that are ages 10, 7, 5, and 2. We just adopted our 4th kiddo a couple of weeks ago and are SO in need of a night to reconnect! If we were to win, we could treat a couple of friends to a double date!!! Thanks so much for this opportunity!
This is on my bucket list of thing to see and do. I’ve been waiting to see this show for over 10 years. I would love to enjoy this with my son who would love this and some friends.
My daughters’ would love to see CATS! They are musical fans.. And it would be a great bonding time (18 and 13)
Memory is the only song I know since I have never seen Cats. My twins have never seen a Broadway show so this would be a great Memory for our family as they graduate high school next month.
Because both of my girls are 5 hours away at college, but I bet they would come home to see this show. 😁
I haven’t seen it but heard good things about it. This one of my many “someday I’ll see it” shows. I’d like to take me and my three kids so they may experience for the first time a broadway show. Who knows, it may spark an interest on them to be a theater performer. I love musical and my children enjoys music as well. This would be great experience for us. I’m super ecstatic about this giveaway. Thanks!
Memories is my favorite song! I would love to take my daughter. I saw Cats while I’m college, my very first Broadway musical ever that I saw at the wac way back in the 90’s when it first opened. 🙂 it would be fun to take my daughter who starts college next year at the uofa!

I have never seen Cats but my daughter’s dance recital had CATS as the theme back in the 1990’s. Memory is my favorite song. I have just had a 70th birthday and would love to go to CATS with my disabled son and two grandchildren. What a wonderful experience and memory that would be!!!!
I’ve never seen it and we just need a night out simply because we never get out. We have 3 kids and not many babysitters.

I have been to NYC 4 times and have NEVER been able to get tickets!!! Now with 3 littles I doubt I’ll be back. Pick me!!! Pick me!!!
I am a frazzled teacher and mom of four who would LOVE to see this show. When I was 17, I got the opportunity to travel and perform at several venues in NYC. At the time, a hit musical had come out four years earlier and each evening I would travel past the long lines of people who were seeing CATS. Several times during my visit, I would walk past the pictures of the actors in the box office lobby windows, and dream about seeing the performance myself. However, It’s now 35 years later and I’ve still not had the opportunity. It’s about time! Thanks for allowing me to share this memory.😽
I haven’t seen it. I do love “memories”. We need a night out at the theater. All four of us love seeing live theater! My oldest is now a fanatic about being in band, and my youngest just broke her arm. My husband, a middle school teacher, and I just finally got everything in line for my youngest to have a 504. We are currently just worn out!
I like the song Memory but I have never gotten to see CATS and I have always wanted to. I would love to take my kids. May 28th is my 45th birthday and I feel so old… This would really help make this milestone birthday great.
I follow you on Twitter Instagram and Facebook and I share your posts.
The song memory.
This would be my daughter’s first musical and Broadway show. And she is old enough to understand and enjoy it!
Love love everything about it!
I would love a night out at the theatre because I’m at stay at home mom who really doesn’t get out much at all!
