So the Cats revival is seeking submissions via Playbill of actual cats doing amazing things. Barf. Sounds awful.

Are you surprised? Everything about this revival sounds awful.
Posted: 6/16/16 at 12:40am
Not at all. I don't hate Webber, just think this show is awful.

Let's all keep a positive attitude... Real cats may be interesting. Who knows.

They're calling it a Catsing Call...oyyy

There's no way that is a real submission. Why would they be using an unofficial gmail address for this? I think you're all getting punked again...

Also, simply by reading through the Catsing Call, it's clear they won't have real cats on stage. It's for the "Jellicle Videos" - whatever that means. A promo, or a projected video in the background, or just something to keep people entertained during intermission.

They should only be casting actors with cats. Lots and lots of cats.

The bizarre visceral hatred of this show is strange.
No matter what they do, people would hate it.
They could cast Audra as Grizabella and have Sondheim re-write the score and people would still think this is an offense to god or something.

Not sure which of the many is the most entertaining. Happen to like these three.
– Delphic Oracle Cats
– Hypocritical Cats
– Statistical Cats

good luck trying to get actual cats to stay on the stage and do as rthey are told.

Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!

They did fine in the original run. The cat who played Grizabella even won a Tony.

My cat would like to join. Where do I sign him up? Maybe he could bring home some money.

That reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Sondheim was hired to write music for a Krusty the Clown special, and Krusty told him "Just do what you did when you wrote Cats".

They were loading in the junkyard today.

Isn't Dispeptical Cats just all cats? Or does it need to vomit on cue?
Posted: 6/17/16 at 2:12am
So is this revival just a carbon copy of the OB production, aside from real cats being incorporated? Are they using the dreadful Rum Tum Tugger rap? I'm sorry, I've not been keeping track of this show's updates.

Now I have a viable reason not to see this show. I'm terribly allergic to cats.
