The third verse in Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats is so unfairly satisfying-

Like, Come on!

"With book and with bell!"

"Were you Whittington's friend~"

"The Pied Piper's assistant."

"WERE YOU THERE WHEN THE PHAROAHS COMMISSIONED THE SPHINX??????"

"If you were, and you are, you're a Jellicle Cat."

Dead. Simply dead.

#like the whole verse is just fricking *chef's kiss all around* #it gets me so pumped too like damn #“are you keeeeen to be seeeeen-” love it #honestly jellicle songs for jellicle cats is probs my favourite song from CATS ngl #cats the musical #cats 1998 #jellicle songs for jellicle cats #my post

Re-watched CATS (2019) for the first time in a while, and I was shocked all over again at by how much I enjoyed it. I think the issues could have been fixed by:

Getting rid of the stunt casting. Rebel Wilson ruined Jennyanydots, and while the rest of the celebs cast were tolerable, I don't think any of them fully understood the assignment (and yes, this includes Dame Judi Dench and Sir Ian McKellen. Both are undeniably talented actors who I love in almost everything, but they seemed too human in their movements and expression. They did their best with roles that ultimately weren't right for their acting style). The only exception to this is Jason Derulo, who clearly had both an understanding of and a passion for the material.

Cutting the throwaway joke lines (e.g. "Don't mess with the crazy cat lady"). They were really jarring tonally, and both Cordon and Wilson (who got most of those lines) seemed very aware of that, which made them stand out even more.

Making Macavity's fur a different color that looked less like a human skin tone so he didn't appear naked.

Animating Grizabella's tears during "Memory" differently so that it looked less like she had snot running into her mouth.

This was so, so close to a perfect adaptation and it bothers me that most of what made it fall short was trying to make it "fit in" with other big movies, when CATS is so much its own strange, unique thing. What made it such a popular Broadway show was that it was unlike anything else on Broadway, and I feel like most of the time the filmmakers did a fantastic job of honoring that, but sometimes they caved to pressure to make it more "normal" and you can pinpoint exactly when those times are.

Anyways, it's still an awesome movie and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Found the very start of Gumbie Cat (skip to 4:41, because apparently Tumblr doesn’t play videos from timestamps. Tumblr pls.) when Misto thinks it’s his turn in a video with Lindsay Chambers as Mistoffelees on Broadway in the early-ish 1990s. Some interesting notes and thoughts on this very brief part, noting some differences from his performance as mute Zurich!Misto.

1. Misto’s little spins across the floor on his hands and knees is extremely adorable

2. His pose right as Munk starts singing is very dramatic, apropos of Mistoffelees, and is similar but different to his Zurich!Misto performance. I can definitely see the influence on Jacob Brent’s later performance as Misto, especially in the 1998 film.

3. Munk here isn’t as harsh toward him as Zurich!Munk is with Zurich!Misto; instead he just sort of shakes his head at him and reaches out his paw toward Misto as if to let him down gently “No, not your turn yet, Mistoffelees.” He does do a little step toward Munk as well before sinking down with disappointment, though he does look a little annoyed as well.

4. However, unlike Jacob!Misto, he doesn’t get embarrassed and cringe to oblivion when he realises it’s definitely not about him. Instead, he just sinks down into a kitten crawl and sadly and slowly crawls away, reminiscent of Zurich!Misto, which only serves to break my heart again.

#Cats the musical #Lindsay Chambers #Gumbie Cat #Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats #Munkustrap #Mr Mistoffelees #his flinch when JennyAnyDots does that high C though #I can't tell if he scratches his ear as a stress stim after that though #but it kinda looks like he grooms his chest fur a little at one brief point as a stress stim #just checked again and yep #he does stress stim groom his chest right after the boot drops

My music was on shuffle and I heard silence for a bit so I thought I'd just paused accidentally but I didn't care so I didn't check

Cue: MICHAEL MUNKUSTRAP GRUBER JUMPSCARE

One od my fav changes of who does what in Warsaw is giving Jemima the high note in the "jellicle songs for jellicle cats", especially comparing with the 98 movie

Idk if it was cuz Jenny's actress didn't have the range or just their creative decision

But i love how she does it and is praised by other queens around her, instead of Jenny being scoffed at by the guys

I just always thought it was mean of them

#just like that jump on the high C #also the fact they sing along the lines #and she steps on the step higher for that note #is just really fucking cute #cats the musical #cats warsaw #jemima cats #jennyanydots #jellicle songs for jellicle cats

Cats 1998 anniversary celebration: favorite song; Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, The old Gumbie cat, Skimbleshanks the railway cat, Bustopher Jones and Macavity the mystery cat. Also Jellicle songs for jellicle cats. Ok but if I had to choose, it’ll probably be Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer

The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mr. Mistoffelees' Conjuring Turn!

#cats the musical #cats musical #mistoffelees #mr mistoffelees #mister mistoffelees #original content tag #karin makes gifs #probably cheating to include the aerial silk spin from tecklenburg #it's not even during the song it's during the jellicle ball #so i do not think it's supposed to be the conjuring turn #but i love cats tecklenburg is the thing. and it looks cool. #is this too many gifs? is there too much going on here? i've gone mad with power now that tumblr allows more than 10

Suddenly got the inexplicable urge to watch the Cats musical again. And then I remembered this ask I answered on my sideblog and giggled like an idiot

#I LOVE CATS!! SHUT UP!! IT’S SO GOOD!!!! #The 2019 movie ruined its reputation 😭 #The OG 1998 stage version that was recorded…MWAH. PERFECTION #Anyway I love watching Tugger praise his boyfriend for four minutes in song form as Misto does his gay little dance #Forever salty at how the 2019 movie BUTCHERED Misto’s character #Me: He would NOT act like that #OG Misto is confident in his abilities and has every right to be #Misto: Yeah I can do magic. And? #Cats #Cats musical #Shima speaks #I grew up being like. OBSESSED with Cats. So it has a very special place in my heart <3 #Used to be a Macavity girlie now I am a Mistoffelees girlie all the way #I love the way Jacob plays him in the 98 version <3 #All the Jellicles: Deut is missing what do we do?!! #Tugger: WAIT #Tugger: Let him cook. #Misto: 🏳️‍🌈✨🩰 #And then he fixes everything. LMAOOO

If you want to please motivate your answer in the notes :]

#cats the musical #rumpleteazer #jellicle polls #macavity the mystery cat #mungojerrie #griddlebone #I could probably write an essay about how much I dislike the whole #‘teazer is doing it to impress mungo/just following along with what he does’ thing #and how I think the exclusion of her name in the song contributes to that #though I have to admit that I like option 1 better audio wise #the lore reasons way heavier
