| The joke in "Six Degrees" is that making a movie of "Cats" is a terrible idea, and the social commentary is that all of these people are huge snobs who hated "Cats" before it was cool to hate "Cats", but of course would completely forget that in order to be in a movie, any movie, directed by Sydney Poitier. Flan and Ouisa's daughter rightfully calls them out on it, quoting to Ouisa her own withering take down of the musical ("Aeschylus did not invent theater for it to wind up a bunch of chorus boys singing about getting the kitty cat heaven", or words to that effect), which Ouisa deflects by saying maybe she was talking about "Starlight Express" - so we get two ALW take-downs in one beat, the height of snobbish efficiency (he said as a snob). So "Cats" is definitely a joke in the play, and Flan and Ouisa are the butt of the joke. |
