I know it’s 2017 and this is all far beyond said and done but
Cats is a really bizarre fucking musical
You’re not wrong.
OKAY WHAT GETS ME more than the plot or anything else is that there are absolutely no solid rules for the way cats exist in relation to humans in this story world.
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser are able to go into a family’s home and essentially torment them by means of petty thievery, and the family just brushes it off with “it’s that horrible cat!” And then they move on!! So you think, alright, so in life the cats look like regular cats, and humans don’t give them much head.
But you would be WRONG because MACAVITY is out here breaking “every human law,” and his exploits are being investigated by SCOTLAND YARD. Macavity has apparently literally killed a man. Maybe more. Almost definitely more. And also, he steals the milk from people’s houses.
And when the police show up to a crime scene “Macavity’s not there.”
Why does he need to flee? Would the police actually suspect a cat when they show up to a murder scene? Is Macavity the true scourge of Scotland Yard? Or are all of the cats just exaggerating??
I NEED ANSWERS, ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER!!!!
All the other cats are regular cats but macavity is actually just a furry
I HATE THIS!!!!!!
*ugly snorting laughter* Oh my God this changes everything
I was caught and hooked at about 0:45…
DANGGGGGG
okay, have you ever heard of Hadestown? it was this off-broadway Orpheus-and-Eurydice-myth-based musical from this past summer and I am still obsessed with it. some of the original cast recording just came out and I keep seeing Bagginshield applications. also the songs are so. freaking. good.
I’ve seen the name here and there, but I’ve never heard the music! I will have to check it out, thank you Nonnie!
it should be noted that Allegiance is off Broadway already (it just debuted last Nov I think?) because the number of audience members had just about reached the number of Japanese Americans that were imprisoned in the aforementioned concentration camps and they liked the parallel since it was such a personal story to Takei.
!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had to cover my mouth with my hand to stifle my gasp. That’s very sad, and very respectful.
Okay, so now that you have been in Hamilton hell for a bit, let me suggest: Allegiance, the broadway musical about American Japanese internment camps. Starring Lea Salonga and George Takei. Feel all the feels. Sob forever. It is off bway. But so good
OOOOH YES THANK YOU I DEF WILL
