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?

I obviously knew that the continuation of the UK/International Tour would be using new character designs based on the photos we’ve seen. But an actor playing Carbucketty posted a picture of the new John Napier makeup sheet and it reads:

“Official reference for all future productions of Cats… It must be used as primary source…”

Does anyone know why the Karen Dawson designs will not be used anymore?

(I’m a little disappointed, honestly)

In the 1998 film, this character appears in "The Naming of Cats" number, I just want to know if anyone knows the name of the character and/or the actress.

Another Dutch revival at the Carré! it has a perfect stage and the orchestra section can be removed for in the round seating i think!

Hello to all of the fellow CATS fans! I've just recently joined this fandom due to the motion picture version of the musical. I just wanted to know if any of us share anything in common when it comes to the characters. My favorite character is Victoria. (Typical for a ballet dancer. Isn't it?)

I am loving seeing all the hard work that has been put into this Fandom Wiki and the archiving is incredible.

Although I just have to ask… is it really necessary to upload every single photo from the current production? I would understand if it was a swing or an understudy but yet another selfie? Yet another photo of them just stood backstage? It just seems unnecessary to me. I am sorry if I am coming across as rude or confrontational… I just don’t really get it?

Another Broadway revival would be nice, another Dutch production, another one in Germany and a new one in Icelandic

So at the end of the musical Grizabella goes on to the Heaviside Layer and gets reborn into a new life....

I have been wondering what happens to the rest of the Cats characters after that event. Do they stick around or do they disappear and do other things.

Example I have include

What happens to Jemima???

What happens to Bombalurina??

Mistoffelees, Rum Tum Tugger, Alonzo etc?

I would like to talk about this to anyone because its been bugging me for a while....

I tried to access the Discord server for CATS that has been posted in this wiki for a while?? Why is it not working and says Invalid invite??

The US tour is coming near me very soon and my parents won’t let me go 😡! It’s like my favourite musical

If Tom Hooper's film adaptation is adapted to the stage, what should its characters look like?

Rumor has it that Plato and Socrates may look just like the "Street Cat Tugger"—

—while Maitre D's appearance onstage possibly looks like a Chorus Mistoffelees (but with just a waistcoat Chorus Skimbleshanks wore since the Broadway revival to make him look like...him...).

What do you think?

Prob next year in april 17 i'm gonna watch the japanese production. of the cats musical!!!!! :DDDDDDD

Do any of my fellow Americans know where I can listen to the new Vienna album? I listened to it the day that it released on YouTube Music, but the next day the whole album was 'unavailable.'

How can someone cover a certain role that needs a certain ability when you CANNOT do it AT ALL!!

Like if someone is a cover for Tumblebrutus and can’t flip. So far, there have been two instances that I know of : Colin Cunliffe and Kieran MacDonald. You need a certain ability. Like you have to tap well to play or cover Jennyanydots or sing opera well like Jellylorum. You have to lift well to be Plato (Admetus)/Macavity (that’s only happened once due to Mark John Richardson’s height) this may be my autism speaking or me being a conservative when it comes to musicals and the casting for ones I like. It’s fine if one of the actors is different but they have to do a certain ability if they can play a novelty character.

This is a great wiki, and it's a pity that people can't access it through the Fandom app. We should put in a request with Fandom asking to add the wiki to the app.

Given the 2021–22 US tour is relaunching from scratch, with an entirely new cast and as a non-Equity production—are we considering it just the next season of US tour 6, or as a new tour? Is there a technical basis by which we generally decide 'this production is just a continuation of that one'?

My instinct would be to acknowledge the connection but make a new page for it, as with Düsseldorf -> the first German tour, and the continuities between UK tour 2013 -> London revival -> UK / International tour.

(At the very least we will definitely need a new gallery page for this season - it already looks like we're going to have lots of images from social media accounts - but that's easily done.)
