Urgh Leona's voice has that same power it did back in 2011 - she's sounding amazing.

I wish Leona had stuck to the 3 picture at a time on Instagram, it looked so good.

Some tweets about Leona.

@leonalewis you brought down the house tonight! And made me cry when you were dancing behind the cats during the Jellicle Ball. Bravo.
@leonalewis Bravo for your magnificent performance tonight!!! #catsbroadway
we went to the opening night of cats and I'm confused but Leona Lewis was SO GOOD
From Facebook.

Certainly not your mothers' Cats....more like a 125 decibel Trans Siberian Orchestra concert with an immersive 240 degree dazzling light show and a complete blur between audience and stage. And dancing. And Leona Lewis. No doubt this will win some Tony's.
Some tweets about Cats in general.

I've seen 3 productions of Cats but tonight was the first time on Broadway. Congrats on an amazing opening night @CatsBroadway. Incredible.
I have never seen anything more amazing in my entire life. It was so absolutely flawless that I cried. Speechless 😻 #catsbroadway
It surpassed any expectations I had. It is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite musical. Just, wow 😻 #catsbroadway
So great! 👏🏼
#catsbroadway was lit tonight! thank you for the amazing show

Wow. She "brought down the house". Terrific. Plus, the show appears to have been refreshed and brought up to date which should mean sellout audiences. Sounds as though it was a great night for Leona and everyone concerned.

Ok I've changed my opinion on Cats completely, she sounds incredible and is getting more love and acclaim now than she has done in years. I don't mind not having music for the time being as all her energy will be going into Cats, I'm sure as soon as she's finished she will get back into the studio, who knows this could inspire her to link up with some great songwriters and create the new Bleeding Love, Leona is probably giggling to herself knowing all the plans for when Cats is finished whilst leaving us in the dark and panicking, hopefully this can only do wonders for her and hopefully motivate her to create some fresh new material that were all highly anticipating, for now Cats is the main focus for her and by the sounds of it she's doing well.

I would just love to know if she still has a record deal for after Cats and if she's still signed to DefJam as they seemed to be really pushing for the best out of a bad situation with I Am and Island etc

Good news, I don't see why she can't just be with DefJam and stick to America

Just a little mention the side of the theatre pond:

https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/thea...debuts-in-cats

Leona seems to be radiating with happiness. Happy making

I would love for glowing reviews of the show and her, but whatever they say what is so clear is how much she is enjoying this.

And how much we get to enjoy this vicariously.

Really hope we can hear Memory in full soon. Snippets awesome.

A couple more tweets I found.

I just need to say that @leonalewis was phenomenal as Grizabella tonight! I definitely teared up! @CatsBroadway
@CatsBroadway Amazing show tonight! Cried my eyes out when @leonalewis sang Memory. Thank you.
@GrammyNilaRN Leona Lewis killed it! Choreography and dancing were excellent.
The memory DOES live again with @CatsBroadway! What a STELLAR production from start to finish! #catsbroadway #jelliclecats
Idk if any of you guys are interested in musicals but @CatsBroadway is truly one of the best shows I've ever seen

So glad Leona is getting rave reviews from the Twittersphere.

I really hope they translate into really positive critics reviews.

I've looked at the NY Post online and Page 6, but haven't seen any new tidbits about Leona which surprises me. Because CATS publicity people have been doing good promo up to now. And this is the runup to opening night. Maybe next week.

Also, why aren't more fans talking about this. I mean this is big time. There was more about Leona promoting her album in little clubs and showcases than about this Broadway debut. I guess musical theater doesn't have many fans here.

Well it makes sense, Leona didn't start her career as a MT act, she started if off as a popstar. I believe though that every single bunny on earth is dying to hear Memory in full, it's probably the most emotional and touching song she's ever sung

I have a 2 minute Memory snippet from on stage (not the ending) but if someone tells me how to rip it in a Twitter DM then I could share

Been replaying the rehearsal snippet over and over - damn Leona's vibrato is so FAST. She has so much control over her voice now *_*

What format is it? I'm sure you could rip it via one of those conversion/rip sights like youtube to mp4 or w/e

We had more information about the album to talk about. There isn't a lot of detail about Cats yet.
