Seeing this tonight. Very excited!

Yes, i was thrilled to read that casting today

Haven't read much about this. Looks like tickets are on sale with a promo code.

Anyone have one? Excited to hear more about this.

Sorry I wasn't clear - I meant in his performance, it sounds very Pavarotti-esque lol I did know he was indeed a white man.

Forgive me if this discussion has been had.

 

The first production of Cats - the OLC - Deuteronomy was played by a white man. (Judging by the cast album - whether that's just how he sounds, or if he was going for a more 'classical' sound - he gives Pavarotti).

However, every major production since then seems to cast a Black man in the role. 

 

Any thoughts or reasoning behind this? Anecdotes? Anyone?
