No rapping Rum Tum Tugger in CATS revival?

Gee, I can't imagine why they wouldn't implement that change here.

WOW. I just love the idea of the production meeting where someone finally said, "...um, maybe that's not a good idea." Glad it's going back.

Now it will just be bad instead of mind numbingly bad.

This isn't true. This will be some rapping, though it won't be the same as the London revival.

That wig

They had rapping Rum Tum Tugger in Australia (that's actually Daniel Assetta from the Aussie production in that picture) and I actually really liked it. I certainly wasn't a fan of Cats going in (my sister tormented me so often with that VHS when we were kids!) but I ended up loving it and felt the changes made for a much better, more cohesive show.

Official report- there is no more rapping. Confirmed.

If they're keeping the revised Growltiger number though I'm still not interested.

can anyone confirm Growltiger will be part of the revival?.. based on the casting call the role was for Gus and Bustopher Jones.. but did not mention Growltiger. Nor do I see any mention of Growltiger in any of the cast lists.

I hope not. I always thought Growltiger was one of the weaker parts of the show. Like I get the whole fake operetta thing but you can do that in less than 10 minutes.
