I think you will find that cats being high is the exact premise of the show

[psychicbluebirdmiracle]

All jokes aside why is it so high????

[bestmusicalworldcup]

From running these polls over the past few months I have learned that the Cats fandom is fairly large, and is in fact one of the only musical fandoms powerful enough to brawl with the Starkid fandom and feasibly come out on top.

[bestmusicalworldcup]

I can assure you that the Cats voting bloc is not composed of ironic voters, but true bonafide fans. For that matter, I actually can't think of a single musical in my polls that gets very far solely on ironic votes.

Shrek?

But yeah, I think you’ve learned hard way how tight the Cats fandom is

[bestmusicalworldcup]

While the Shrek musical is quite polarizing, there are a fair number of people who genuinely like Shrek and think of it as a good musical.

Only on tumblr would people question why one of the most popular shows ever, that set records on Broadway and the West End, is beating out a parody show that had a brief run at a small, Off-Loop Chicago theatre

Saw a big spike in my notifications some days ago, turns out that was because this poll is still making the rounds nearly three years after the fact.

Looking back, it was a very fun time to be running the blog when this poll was ongoing.
