Well, isn't it amazing what you find trawling the internet when you wake up needlessly early.
Who knew The Jellicle Ball was used as the theme for the BBC World Cup Grandstand in 1982? Not me.

Oh my days. Look at these titles! Works surprisingly well, does tickle me though, footballing highlights to the Cats theme.

So as Cats has miraculously got back to the top of the musicals page here, I wonder if anyone has seen an amateur production of this? I personally haven't, but I noticed that the West Wickham Operatic Society ( to which I have no affiliation of membership) are doing this at the Churchill Theatre Bromley for a week in May !5th - 19th.
Usually amateur societies are full of middle aged women and the thought of them all in leotards crawling around the stage has me chuckling! Perhaps the Society has dragged in a lot of school kids to do it but then I think it becomes a school production.
I wouldn't have thought it a show to do for a traditional amateur company. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? There are some VERY interesting, full videos of amateur productions or at least young people doing this show. As you can imaigne, it's a bitch of a show for any dancer. I think this is one where if you don't have an exceptional dancer, don't bother. It's the same, for me, with the likes of 42nd Street. Blow me away with the dancing or don't bother doing the show. |

Yes! How else do you think I know about the film? 😹
Tommy H thinks I’m measuring up quite well so far in comparison to Brian Blessed...

Just be careful you don't turn your ankle, or they'll have to give your part to Judi!

I’ve offered my part to several members of the male chorus already if you must know. No takers so far... 😿

Not sure if this has slipped under the radar or been covered elsewhere, couldn't find an appropriate thread other than this.. Kilworth House are doing Cats this summer. Set in an Underground station! Emma Hatton, Jeremy Secomb, etc. It looks great!  tickets.kilworthhousetheatre.co.uk/en-GB/shows/cats/events |

Just read the best synopsis of Cats, ever:
"So not seen Cats before, turns out it's basically about a dance competition where the winner gets euthanized !"

Just finished listening to an excellent programme on Radio 4 called The Reunion. This gathered together Wayne Sleep, Elaine Page, Paul Nicholas, Bonnie Langford, John Napier and Sir Trev all reminiscing about the original production. I have to say I'm not a massive fan of this musical, and I'd heard some of the anecdotes before but there was also a lot of new stuff and you're unlikely to ever get again in the same studio together so many creatives involved in the original production.

That was awesome. I loved the actual cat that wandered in to see what was going on.

I don't know who he is but i feel really sorry for the dancer that's still stuck on a cruise ship somewhere.
