I was just watching Conan O'Brien interview Mo Rocca, he was talking about his experience and obssession when he saw Cats for the first time. (He practically sang a bit of every song) He was saying how Rum Tum Tugger climbed up to him in the mezz and sang to his face. When he got home (I believe he said Maryland, I could be wrong) he wrote a letter to every single cast member and wore his cat sweatshirt to school. No one responded, so him and a friend looked up the cast in the new york city phonebook making a call to each one, turns out the only one who answered was the girl who played Victoria, and he asked why no one had written back. Turns out he only got a letter back from Gus the theater cat. He ended up being an usher to the show in washington d.c. and he grew to hate it...like some other people i know...hmm...(the story was told quite humorously by Mo Rocca, with great facial expressions by Conan.)
