What if I like old school musicals, (west side story, singing in the rain) and Muppet movies but can't stand musicals made after Cats?

Is that inclusive of Cats? Because I fucking hated Cats. Except for some parts. Like Mistoffelees. He's chill.

I can see that's confusing -- no! I can't watch/listen to Cats (the musical) and everything since it.

The 80s as a whole was a bust for musicals...but Phantom and Little Shop of Horrors came out after cats. Broadway, imo, is in a bit of a rebirth right now. There's been plenty of amazing shows.

I don’t like musicals in general but anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber (writer of Cats) is especially grating for me, he tends to repeat a singular word, sound, or phrase repeatedly for a very long time in his compositions and it causes an instant and very extreme rage in me. Same goes for the song Mustang Sally, that piece of music needs to burn in hell.
