Here’s a reason why I love my friends so much: our nonsensical ramblings. On a recent email discussion about the upcoming trip to watch Cats, here is what we had to say.
Skunk: Can’t wait to listen to all the familiar songs again! Who am I? Who am I? I’m Jean Valjean!!
Wayne: uhm….u got the wrong musical? u just sang starlight express songs lor…
Skunk: My bad. Lemme recall another song from Cats.
No more talk of darkness,
Forget this wide eye fears.
I’m here, with you beside you,
To hold you and to guide you.
Wayne: much better. u really should brush up on ur musicals…
Jane: I know the ultimate song…
“are we human, or are we dancer…”
and i can so imagine christine singing to it.
i love CATS!
Me: imagine christine singing and playing the drums at the same time…wahahaha!
Wayne: she can bang on my drums anytime…
Jane: cool we’ll provide her metal sticks…
Skunk: Who is this Christine?
Bryan: Erm, the Phantom?
Skunk: Oh, I prefer Eponine.
Jane: Please, I am sure your favourite is the apparition of Fantine
Skunk: And urs is the Obildo…the stage hand that was hung by the phantom before he kidnapped Christine.
Jane: my apologies. i mean the pet monkey in phantom that ‘died’ at the end of the show.
Me: i like the monkey in the music box that goes round and round…he has got so much character and he acted very well.
Skunk: See? A fellow admirer too. Too much rave about phantom/Christine/raoul…monkey was actually the pivotal role in the entire musical. He was the only companion of phantom…the only “person” who did not judge him on his appearance…the only one who accepted him as an individual and not a monster.
