  • Cats at the Merry-Go-Round Still Amazes After 30 Years
    Cats at the Merry-go-Round Still Amazes After 30 Years By Barbara Adams Wednesday, August 28, 2013 12:00 am Who doesn’t know CATS, the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that’s been pleasing audiences since its 1981 West End premiere? CATS swept the 1983 Tonys with seven awards and eventually became the second-longest running show on Broadway. This show’s fairy-tale charm derives from the lyrics, drawn straight from T. S. Eliot’s poems for children: “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.” With delightful rhymes and names that rival Dr. Seuss's, he brings to life a feline crew: Bombalurina and Griddlebone, Jellylorum and Skimbleshanks. Meet them all once again in Merry-Go-Round Playhouse’s magical current production. Much credit goes to the vision and experience of director/choreographer Jacob Brent, who played Mistoffelees in the London, Broadway, and video productions, and who worked closely with Webber. This local version fascinates from its opening moments, with one of the more lush sets this theater has seen. The stage, devoted to a chaotic junkyard, seems enormous, and designer Robert John Andrusko has filled it with random garbage and outsized, outworn objects: a toothbrush, a washboard, a floor lamp. Strings of red, blue, and green lights twinkle overhead, thanks to Dan Ozminkowski, whose lighting throughout is stunning. Both set and moody lighting are highly expressive, providing an apt site for the Jellicle tribe to assemble. Transforming 20 actors into alley cats is partly the handiwork of costumer Garth Dunbar and hair and makeup stylist Jason Flanders; the varied furry costumes are splendid, a visual feast.

After the group describes how they assign names to each cat in the tribe, they assemble in preparation to take part in the annual festival of cat-dom...they send out invitations to attend the Jellicle Ball! At the Ball, each cat tries to prove to Old Deuteronomy (the leader of the Jellicle tribe) why he or she deserves to go the Heavyside Layer – a heavenly feline afterlife. Munkustrap, the show’s feline narrator, introduces the cats one by one starting with Jennyanydots. The Rum Tum Tugger, the wild and inconstant Elvis-esque cat, interrupts her presentation with his grand entrance; he feels no obligation to other cats and does as he feels. Following Tugger’s exuberant performance, the old and greying Grizabella makes her way through the group causing the tribe to scatter. The other cats dislike the lowly Grizabella and somberly sing of her sad state. As Grizabella sulks off into the night, the fat and renowned Bustopher Jones sings of his elite status among his fellow cats.

  • Character Descriptions
    CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS Asparagus (Gus the Theatre Cat) Gus the Theatre Cat looks a little frail these days, sitting at the theatre doors, thinking about his heyday. His paws now shake from old age yet in his youth he was quite famous. He has played every possible part, one of his favourite being the infamous Growltiger. The Jellicle cats gather around to hear the story of Growltiger’s last stand. SKILLS • Acting (character part) • Singing (can be speech sung) Featured in “Gus the Theatre Cat” Bombalurina / Demeter Sensually lying across the stage and moving with elegance these two beautiful Jellicle Queens are best friends and are rarely seen apart. Their remarkable friendship contains some contrasting traits and they use this to their advantage. Bombalurina is the more self-possessed, flirtatious cat of the two. Although she’s confident, kind and touching, she can also be harsh. This personality is shown when she is angry towards Grizabella, although she eventually grows to respect and welcome her. Ladylike and mature, Demeter seems uninterested by Rum Tum Tugger but is extremely paranoid of Macavity and his whereabouts. Beneath her dignified shell, she is a tortured soul and always looks to her best friend for help in uncomfortable situations. These two young adults both share a stirring hatred towards Macavity and his sly, evil personality, shown through their duet ‘Macavity: The Mystery Cat’ and this ultimately creates an even stronger bond between them. SKILLS • Flirting • Dancing • Singing (Strong belt) Featured throughout including “Old Gumbie Cat” and “Macavity” Bustopher Jones Strutting his way round in his fastidious black coat and white spats, this distinguished cat is older and wiser than most of his fellow cats and has gained a respectful reputation amongst the Jellicle Tribe.
