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.

  • Cats Programme Notes Act 1 Saturday July 26Th 2.30Pm Pauline Raw Audio Describer
    Cats Programme notes Act 1 Saturday July 26th 2.30pm Pauline Raw audio describer Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and welcome to this production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, Cats, directed by Trevor Nunn. An eight piece musical ensemble is led by Anthony Gabriele. Act 1 will last for approximately 70 minutes followed by a 20 minute interval. My name is Pauline and I will be describing Act 1 and Act 2 will be described by my colleague Tony and his programme notes will start 5 minutes before curtain up. Since Cats first opened on the West End stage in 1981, it has become one of the world’s best known and best loved musicals, with a plot based on T.S Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats and award-winning music composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber; Cats, originally directed by Trevor Nunn, has since been presented in over 20 countries and in about 250 cities, including such diverse destinations as Buenos Aires, Seoul, Helsinki and Singapore. Synopsis The cats are at first suspicious and proud, reluctant to allow an audience into their domain. In “The Naming of Cats”, however, they begin to reveal who they are and that cats have three different names: the one the family uses daily, a more dignified name, and a secret name. It is the contemplation of these secret names that keeps felines deep in thought. Tonight is a special annual night to hold a Jellicle Ball to celebrate who they are and for Old Deuteronomy to select one cat to have an extra life and ascend to the Heaviside layer.

  • 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.

  • Cats the Musical the Movie
    Cats the Musical the Movie: Mixed Message Mediums and the Challenge of Adaptation Kaycee Genualdo ABSTRACT Elitism in film studies plays a significant role in dictating the parameters of legitimate study and maintaining the status quo and dictating; serious academic research and theoretical analyzation are often reserved for features considered historically significant—masterworks that reflect technological breakthroughs and revolutionary techniques of the craft. As such, the reluctance to stray from the accepted canon leads to the oversaturated and derivative nature of academic discourse. What if one decided to engage with works that are meritless and insignificant as intensely as they are encouraged to mentally engage with the works of Sergei Parajanov or Claire Denis? For this mental exercise, I use psychoanalysis, film semiotics, and communication theory to understand the fundamental failings of the notorious 2019 film adaption of Cats the musical, to argue that the study to failure is not only a worthwhile pursuit, the findings of these studies also illuminate the inherent complexity of the field. In the case of Cats, I argue that the film fails due to its inherent lack of adaptability, rather than the source material itself. Great film adaptations of other in your mind's eye, the before time— forms of media are seldom found; the a time when you could enjoy a night successful execution of such a venture at the cinema. What wouldn't you is subject to numerous theoretical give to be back in the movie theater? and technical hurdles that impede a If you could turn back time, what films satisfactory transition into a new would you see?
