"Cynical Cats, Rabbinical Cats..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

All right, so I've got some questions about my CATS CD. I managed to get one in English, and it's the OBC recording.

Firstly, in Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser, in Japanese it's a duet between a woman and a man. And it's like that in the concert version, too. But on the CD it's two men singing, and I'm not absolutely certain, but reasonably so, that it's Mister Mistoffolees' actor singing the part of Rumpleteaser.

(By the way, Mistoffolees = SQUEE*giggle*eeee!^_^)

Secondly--nevermind, there isn't a secondly. Terrence Mann sings the Rum Tum Tugger. *melts slowly*

Also, Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat is so close to being the bestest song ever.

...Grizabella is Jefferson's CD Wife, isn't she? lillieoz, didn't you say that? She sounds just like her.

Oh! Second question: Can anyone tell me which material is TS Eliot's and which is Trevor Nunn's? I can't tell.

Er... wow. O_O This show got changed around almost as much as--damn, I can't think of any other shows that were changed as much.

Sam Mitcegel. I like that. *g*

Yeah, most shows get their changes done before they have major productions. *g* The original London production was really different from how the show ended up - different "Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser" tune (which was also used in Hungary), Misto singing most of Munkustrap's songs, "The Ballad of Billy McCaw" instead of the opera thing in "Growltiger's Last Stand," etc. And veeeery different costumes - most people didn't even have wigs, they just made cat ears with their hair. And then there were all of the productions in other countries... I think it was Sweden that made the setting an attic instead of a junkyard.

OI.

Although the attic sounds cool.
