    BIG BOYS (Munkustrap, Skimbleshanks)

    Rounding out our junkyard role call is Munksutrap and Skimbleshanks. And lucky for all of us we have a seasoned professional, Michael Ericson! Michael played these roles AND MORE in CATS on tour right after the original Broadway production ended. He is here to blow our freaking minds with Cats school, multiple tribes, balls, and social stratifications within the tribe. We also talk about covering five roles and their difficulties, Big boy vs. small boy vs. medium boy tracks, and what if the tribe just didn't address the audience? Also note - Skimbleshanks is the only cat with a job. And pants. Who deserves to go to the Heaviside Layer?

    Sexy Lady Cats - Bombalurina, Demeter, Jellylorum

    On today's show we have the unparalleled Theresa Burns (Actor, Singer, Dancer, Director/Choreographer) with us to discuss a few of our favorite ladies - Bombalurina, Demeter, and Jellylorum! We talk about Jellylorum's potential ailment, differences between how these ladies are presented on stage vs on screen, Taylor Swift's villain edit, how Ariana Grande had so much potential to join the junkyard, how ladies can support all their business in a show like this, and when does one stop to pee? Also, we talk about Chowder, Theresa's large cat! Finally, we have a bonus call in from Madison Mitchell, who has played all these women and more in CATS ON BROADWAY AND THE TOUR! What a gem!

    Villains - Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, MACAVITY

    Today on the show, Corrina and Ian break down our three most essential villains of the junkyard: Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer (aka, the Ian and Corrina of the tribe), and Macavity the Mystery Cat. Boy do we love those lovable scamps, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. We break down the different incarnations of their title song, what kind of family these cats live with, the signature double cartwheel, and how big are these cats? Again. We also discuss Macavity's villain treatment in the movie, the depth of problems this guy has created, and we spend a good amount of time listing not even every crime this guy has committed. Please add a comprehensive list to the wikis; we thank you for your service. Who deserves to go to the Heaviside Layer?

    Old Man Cats, The Rum Tum Tugger

    This week on PodCATS! A podcast about CATS (the musical, not the animal), we are joined by the incomparable Paul Rigano (West Side Story on BROADWAY!, lots of other awesome musical endeavors)! We discuss Bustopher Jones as the face of cat privilege, Gus the Theatre Cat and Ian McKellen's ability to make us sob regardless of the rest of the movie, Old Deuteronomy and the movie's blatant lesbian erasure, and finally, all (most?) things Rum Tum Tugger. What happens when one of these cats can't make it to the next Jellicle Ball? Again, how big are cats? Paul gives us a musical theatre history lesson around Sir Webber's involvement in the music scene, and finally, Ian uses his opera training for five seconds.

    Old Lady Cats

    Today on the show we have special guest Lauren A. Kennedy (Hell House LLC) to discuss two beloved Cats: Jennyanydots and Grizabella the Glamour Cat. Plus we bring up Lauren's real cat! We discuss the cats' life decisions that separate them from the pack, big fun and big sad production numbers, the Stella Adler school of Cats, and Ian learns about vore! There are some wild theories abound with these two. And we remember that like snowflakes, no two productions of CATS are alike! @jelliclepod Jelliclepodcats@gmail.com @LaurenAKennedy @epicadventureof @ibroski @dapperdevilproductions (insta) @dapperdevilprod (twitter) Hosted on Acast.

    Horny Young Cats (w/ Lindsay Palmer)

    Buckle up, everyone, because today we start to break down central characters of this junkyard. And we start with some of the most iconic ones - Victoria (the White Cat), Jemima/Sillabub (that other cat that sings Memory), and the Magical Mr. Mistofelees. And boy, do we have a lot to say. Joining us is writer and D&D-er Lindsay Palmer, who provides quite the insight to a very silly topic of a silly show. There's also MORE talk about high school productions, how Victoria becomes the protagonist of the movie, and Mistofelees' not so secret relationship with the Rum Tum Tugger. And we talk about mating a lot. Sorry. @jelliclepod Jelliclepodcats@gmail.com @elevatorlich @epicadventureof @ibroski @dapperdevilproductions (insta) @dapperdevilprod (twitter) Hosted on Acast.
