An Introduction to The Wrong Cat Died

The Wrong Cat Died is a parody theatre podcast made by a theatre outsider. After seeing Cats the Musical for the first time in July of 2016, podcast host Mike Abrams was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. He was amused, confused, and a little angry. Almost exactly three years later when the movie trailer came out, Mike had enough. It was time to speak his truth - Grizabella was the wrong Cat to Die at the Jellicle Ball. In this mini-series, Mike breaks down a handful of the characters and makes a case for why they were more worthy to ascend to the Jellicle Heaven than Grizabella. Each episode covers a bit of background about the cat in question, pop culture parallels, the internet rumor mill, and some of Mike's favorite YouTube comments.

Love this fun podcast! Having seen Cats both on Broadway and several times on the Oasis of the Seas, I still had no clue as to the relationships, back stories, etc, so it’s fun to hear everyone’s take! Love the variety of guests and hearing about their backgrounds and experiences while in the show. Keep up the good work!
Meh-ow

The host slurs words and speak too fast. It also appears he has his own opinions about the guests’ characters and tries to force mythology that simply isn’t there. I truly don’t think those you interview care as much as you do.

This podcast is hilarious! It's the most in-depth, comprehensive discussion you'll ever hear about CATS the Musical! I love how Mike breaks down this musical and points out all of its idiosyncricies.
Obsessed!

Justice for Gus

I adore this podcast. It’s so creative and goes into DEPTH for each cat’s personal story. And makes me LOL! 😻
