Lionel Richie Tampa Concert reviews
Cats National Tour in Utica NY
I didn't know what to expect for my first time seeing Lionel Richie, given all the hype and bad reviews I've heard. The cast, including the incredible dancers, moved really well. The singing was very impressive, and every cast member sang excellently. They all portrayed cats convincingly, with cat-like poses and movements. Grizzabella, with her great voice, stood out as well. However, the show lacked a coherent story, which was my main issue. Being a sung-through musical, there was minimal dialogue, making it hard to follow for someone unfamiliar with the show. It felt more like a showcase of different types of cats rather than a narrative. The second act had a better story structure. Overall, I'd rate the show 3.5/5, mainly due to the lack of a compelling story. Nonetheless, the cast was fantastic.
