The fact that you can still kinda hear misto before his mic is turned on goes to show how deticated these singers/dancers are. He didnt stop singing even though his mic was off!
Okay , I've got one requirement for anyone playing Munkustrap , and it's that his legs need to be apart at all times . They are never allowed to touch . If you've watched the 1998 film version you know exactly what I'm talking about .

Such a classic
the way they all turned their heads so fast in sync to look at the shoe drop just like real cats would do is genius
Lmao Munkustrap looked dead at the camera when he said the third “what’s a jellicle cat”
This musical is so unbelievable. I've never seen this many cats get along in real life.

neat. I think I was about 8 when I first saw the show with the 4th National North American Tour (the first North American tour to simplify the staging for the now defunct Growltiger sequence (yes the first 3 actually *DID* have the set for Growltiger come down from the back wall like at the Winter Garden) the 5th National Tour (2001-2012) also had a couple notable firsts, it was the first North American tour that hid the orchestra (5 piece most stops, increasing to 9 in bigger cities) like on Broadway and in '05 added an inflatable version of the set thus making it easier to travel around North America and do shorter engagements, the normal set was still used when they went outside of the US or to Hawaii)
This is the perfect vantage point to see the amazing choreography.

At least they retained him for the London revivial.

Anyone else here after watching the trailer to get the picture out of your heads?? Edit: I don’t hate the movie, but I do think it takes the magic out of it; The costumes, the make up, the fact that is sang through, is what makes Cats Cats. Plus I think the plot is not “strong” enough for a movie

I saw a bootleg of a performance in March of this year (US tour) of this number and it looks like they've incorporated a lot of Gillian Lynne's choreography back in.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is magical!
Brilliant! One of my favorite musicals ever.

@@sofiarosanes9511 Gillian Lynne had the chance to develop all the dance numbers over 30 years. Every new production had little or big changes. Every movement meant something and was perfect to the music. Andy his choreography changes (because a lot of the original was still in this production) was not that musical or supported by the music.
I remembered cats existed after the movie trailer came out, also I think the first time I heard about cats was on this bedtime story website or something like that.
*EDIT: i've seen the US tour cast twice so far and in my second viewing (i wasnt paying so much attention on victoria particularly during this number the first time around) they've seemed to have gone back to the old choreography a LOT more since when this production happened, as in victoria actually doing the old choreography and movements for that part instead of just lying there. interesting, and a welcome change back to the old choreography* obviously there's factors in the new choregoraphy that i like and am okay with but it's like everytime i watch this i find more gripes with it... (to no major detriment to the revival, overall i love the cast and the production and wish i was able to see it live) 12:35 when that part kicks in, having victoria not rouse and break away from the group/be the only one moving throws me off and annoys me more than it should. and when that piano (?) at 13:00 plays, she's supposed to be like... doing something. preparing for her solo, catching the attention of the audience early while not breaking the 'trance' of the song completely-- she's a core part of it. to have her stay still like that is just an odd choice especially since it makes it so that change in tune has no function or reason. in my basic musical-watching eyes, of course. im no musician or composer or actor or anything of the sort.

@@bigred8432 as someone who has seen the original production of CATS 27 times, I can tell you that this tour features about 20% of Gillian's Original Choreography. The revival tour didn't edit or replace anything from their revival counterpart, nor did they remove anything. It's the same production that was on Broadway in 2016, physically and visually. Only very minor things such as the set that's used and some of the blocking have been redone due to the smaller set. Which could be why Victoria now does her full solo dance.
