Does anyone know where one can access a copy of the sheet music for the Musical? I've been considering getting back into learning to play music, and was considering trying to learn some of the pieces in Cats and I have no idea where to look. (Yes I'm aware there's multiple orchestrations, I don't particularly care which one)
What's on your mind?

It's going to be like a spoof of Cats the Musical called "Dogs" or "Wolves" and Porsha Crystal would love to perform the song called "Memory"
@TSLOPfan and it's going to be one of the best episodes ever.......
I found an error and can't figure out how to correct it. I did see a note saying that identifying performers in the photos is the most common error and that is the kind of error I found. I was told to "contact an admin of the wiki". But I can't figure out how to do that either. Frustrating.
The error is that the person in this photo, in the role of Skimbleshanks, is tagged as Mark Frawley. It is NOT Mark Frawley. It is Robert Burnett.
I shared a dressing room with each of them at the Winter Garden on Broadway and know their faces well.
Mark Frawley was a swing who covered the role of Skimbleshanks.
Robert Burnett was the 2nd replacement for Skimble. (Original Broadway cast Skimble was Reed Jones, who was replaced by Michael Scott Gregory, who was replaced by Robert Burnett.)

I had Celine Dion but since she’s sick
I'm back!
I have a very faint memory of seeing Cats in Portugal at around 2004/2006 but it doesn’t appear in the tour dates section of the UK/Europe tour #3. Is there a reason why it’s missing?
Would anyone know of a set of CATS costumes available for hire? Willoughby Theatre Company in Sydney Australia are producing CATS in October and we're after a set. Any leads would be very much appreciated :)
GUESS WHO GOT TO SEE CATS US TOUR LAST NIGHT
Has anyone watched Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway?
These figurines kinda look like the Jellicles
Back Row (Left to Right)
Jellylorum, Mungojerrie, Cassandra, Gus, Skimbleshanks, Bombalurina, Demeter, Tugger, Pouncival, Bustopher, Tantomile
From Row
Grizabella, Tumblebrutus, Munkustrap, Victoria, Mistoffelees, Sillabub, Rumpleteazer, Jennyanydots, Alonzo, Macavity, Coricopat
Is there anyone on this fandom who is an Ant and Dec and a Cats musical fan and cosplayer?
So I've been into Cats for a while, and my school had a talent show! So my friend Charlotte and I decided to our own version of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer! We actually ended up winning and if I can find a full video of the performance I will post it here! My Mungojerrie was clearly inspired by Alonzo, because he's my fav character and because we had the freedom to do whatever we wanted with the characters. Rumpleteazer was supposed to be a brown tabby, however due to time constraints and a strict teacher, we weren't able to finish out makeup. Also my makeup smudged a little but whatever. It was so fun, would definitley do something like this again.
On the headcanon page, would it be alright to add a “Breed/appearance” section for each character, as there are typically several headcanons for each character in that general category? This would also be done so that the page is a bit more uniform and organized, as it has slowly been added to.
The majority of character and production media taking place in the 2020s (mostly 2020 to early 2022) still have media listed and displayed in the 2010s galleries, is there any plan to move this to the 2020s galleries, or is it too large of an undertaking to actually go forward with?
I’ve noticed this for a considerable amount of time, but this would be a significant change that I don’t want to attempt to do without communicating.
On a different note, for articles that need expanding (such as individual actors) what information should be added? I assume things like theater credits, and biography in the playbill when they were playing the character at the time.

A lot of musicals are performed at the Hollywood bowl yearly! Past productions included, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, Spamalot and recently, Kinky Boots. Next year’s production should be Cats and here’s why.
* Cast Size: it can be doubled to fit the entire stage!
*Casting (and problems) usually, the casting for those musicals are sometimes big celebrities (ie: Nick Jonas in Hairspray) or alumni of the productions (ie: the late great Gary Beach in The Producers). The casting could be mixed with celebrities, alumni and newbies (ie: Carlos PenaVega from Big Time Rush as Tugger, Ken Page reprising his iconic role of Old Deuteronomy, etc)
*Choreography: i’m hoping they can use the original Gillian Lynne choreography

I must say, I adore this new Mr. Mistoffelees song costume and wig from the UK tour. Thanks whitecatofdoom for uploading the pic. Not all of the recent changes are my favorite, but I do LOVE this one. He looks so sleek and magical with those special ears. Evokes some of Napier's earlier drawings. Any thoughts? yes? No? Miss the fan ears?
In a news article about the 2022 International Tour of Cats coming to the Netherlands in December, they also mention the following:
"... and visits cities in Germany, Estonia, Norway, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Portugal, followed by an extensive tour through China in spring 2023." (translated by me)
I have personally not seen a stop in Portugal mentioned anywhere? I could have missed something though. I'm also not sure if this China leg in 2023 had already been announced? Are there any other sources supporting this?
