  • Why were you guys not ay my high school... wow.. our drama team sucKED

  • i honestly can't believe this is a high school production. it looks so well done!

  • HAhahahahahaha the cat at 3:55 hahahahahaa

  • why cant my school do this play :( i love it soooo much that i learned all the words almost .....for only a group of high schoolers i would give u all a great 10 out of 5 stars

  • @skullkazor2 I agree, I want to do this at my school too, it sucks...:(

  • my dad recorded this

  • When I first saw this after the opening, I was like, WTF? They died? but then they moved... lol.

  • im in this play and im Rumpleteaser <3 soo much fun

  • wow..for a high school, you guys did pretty good. Although I would disagree about the more the merrier, I think more cats means more clutter, but good job nonetheless

  • Very, very impressive!!!!

  • i can't believe that that's a live orchestra! this music is ridiculously hard to learn and they did a phenomenal job with it

  • Also! Can you please name me the male parts in order of importance ( more important to less important ) please!

  • Who was main lead character wise ( male and female )?

    Who was the character who sings first in this song, like the guy who stands up and sings ( male )?

    Who was the character who ran away after seeing the light in the very beginning its not here i think but its in the broadway one i wonder if you know? if you do please tell me (:

    What was the funniest character? ( male )

    Please write back,

  • This is beyond amazing for a highschool produciton!!!!

  • is like I watching a thundercats movie, good show.

  • I remember coming home from school when i was very little and my mom had bought me the VHS tape for this!. I loved it and i would watch it literally ever single day!

  • im glad that theres a lot of cats in this one, it makes it seem more like a community~ plus more awesome costumes to look at! xD really good for a highschool performace

  • Too many cats......but what else can you expect from a high school production?

    *is sick of this play being overdone*

  • Were in the process of doing this show at my high school. Were gonna be on the news and everything (:

  • really impressive!

  • I was in this show 6 years ago. This is such a heavy show to do. It's such a fun show tho. I remember our choreography was what you see in the official DVD, it was crazy, but so much fun. You guy's sound fabulous for a high school. I can't even fathom if my alma mater performed this. Brava.

  • great, greater, greatest! never seen such a brilliant version of a school-production before! great dancing, singing, acting, great musicians, great stage design! i whish i could see more details of the costumes, makeup or acting performances.... applause!

  • this is amazing!

  • some one cant sing

    

  • Great performances! That opening music was really rushed though....but I don't think anyone can complain with such a great performance done by a high school group. Bravo!! Brava!!!!

  • I know which singer you were, but which cat were you, namewise?

  • @capttheo1 Skimbleshanks

  • @DRCTRkjcharmedfreak my favorite cat!

  • Very good job for a high school! Bravo!

  • Not too many cats: makes the musical more interesting, and gives the makeup artists more opportunities to be creative. The scene might give people the idea that cats hang out together; they don't. But so what.

  • I have never seen a high school production of a musical that was this good. I applaud your work! It truly is amazing. I'm jealous that you had so many people willing to put in so much work. We could never get that at my high school. :)

  • I feel so bad for that girl who sang right after you! I hate when that happens when you try to go high and then you crack. In my theatre company there's this one girl who's voice always cracks when she try's to go high. Overall that was really good and YOU have an amazing voice! Props to Tugger, you were amazing!

  • do you have a live orchestra?

  • thats good!

  • GREAT job, wauw !!

  • a good production for a school! :)))

  • When one verse starts off "Mystical.." Its supposed to start off just a bit softer. But other then that its pretty darn good.

  • pretty cute and really good! just the "jellicle cats are queens of the night" is sttrange, but the "C" is really really cool!!! :D

  • Points to the High C :-D

  • just`after you her voice cracked, but otherwise gr8 job

  • who do u play?

  • He play's Skimpleshankes!!!!

  • The execution of the Overture or Opening was SPECTACULAR, but having all of the characters on the stage in the beginning of Jellicle Cats is something I've never seen before, andit was messy. by the choir part, however, it returned to being spectacular.

  • Why do u all have mullets?

  • im doing this play also at my school im pouncival lol

  • Good Roll!!!!!!!

  • we did this last year !!

    wasnt in tho and it got sold out as sooon at tickets were avail be so i guess it was good

  • Who Was Filming When You Were Out There Acting!!!!

  • This must be a wealthy school or it invests in the arts...my school gave all the money to football so our productions were...subpar to say the least

  • You really did an incredible work for a high school production :) I was checking for a Broadway Cast and didn`t even realize at the begining that its high school performance :)))

  • of course there are more cats! think of all the disappointed kids at the school if they only included the characters in the original cast :( there wouldnt be enough to give all the students parts and a school production should be something everyone can be involved in :)

    its awesome btw, youre a good singer ;D

  • Thank you! :)

  • Cats has a hefty cast, and schools typically don't have enough students to fill the roles, that this school had to add roles makes me really happy. Maybe there is hope for the arts yet!

  • @kanumbra not all students need to be involved, if you audition and are good enough to get a name then thats great, but there is a reason writers put so many cats in this show, because that is ALL they wanted on stage

  • wow you guys are very good!

    you did great. great job!

  • this is sooo cool! great job!!!

    my school is doing this as the musical this year! im sooo excited!

  • You're all very good singers - especially you. : )

    I agree - there does seem to be an awful lot of cats... Not that it matters! There more the merrier!!!

  • Awesome thanks. I guess we just had so much talent at our school, the director had a hard time cutting the cast list! lol!

  • i think yor right.... to many cats

  • this is our DANCE in our FOUNDATION DAY tomorrow. HAHA. we can get the steps so u get it too.we PRACTICE THIS DANCE in 4 weeks.i think.

  • This is proof that high schools can preform Cats :D

    The only thing I have to say is..there seems to be a few too many cats? Maybe I'm just seeing things though :O

  • I soo wanna play Munkustrap:D

  • You all are AMAZING singers! GREAT JOB!!!!! How long did this take your school to put together?!

  • This is phenomenal! Cats is an ambitious show, and it's difficult to pull off: you guys did! Congrats. :D

  • was this a live orchestra? High school productions always seem to be held back by the quality of its pit orchestra-- and this one sounds like a recording which aids the dancers and singers immensely. Is it live????

  • Yes this was live! We always have a live orchestra for our musicals. It consisted of some students, parents, as well as some hired musicians.

  • cool

  • A high school production of Cats? Very ambitious, I like it!

  • summer prodution i was macvity

  • 3:58 CRACK!! haha

    6:38 Nice C!

  • very good! luved it! im playing cassandra! im excited! excpet ours is called kittens ^^

  • What happened to the girl that sang right after you?

    Btw, nice voice you have, I wouldn't mind listening to you sing.

    If you guys do that musical again, can you at least get a better sound system.

  • Thanks! I plan to record some vids of me singing later. The girl that sang after me was sick that day, so it was very unfortunate. Normally she is a very nice singer. I think the main problem here, is we didn't have enough mics for everyone!

  • Ooff! I know the feeling of trying to sing while being sick, not good. Does she has a account here?

    That sucks. I think I can be Grizabella.

  • This is really done well :)

    I can imagine how difficult this would have been to perform in a high school, but you all pulled it off really well ^^

    Great job! x

  • Holy cheese and crackers. That's amazing, I didn't even realize it was a high school production until after I watched it. Your school had way better talent than mine! Kudos!

  • were you Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat???

  • Yes I was!? My performance of that song is up here on youtube too!

  • ...And why did I finish that first sentence with a question mark?

  • that is a lot of cast members

    this is very well done for a high school

    5 stars

  • Comment removed

  • wow almost like the movie wow!!!!!!

  • For a school production this is quite exceptional! Well done :)

  • Ha ı remeber this. it was my freshmen year. haha memories.

    nice kevin

  • i love this song

  • woah loved it

  • I love how the choreography is about completely different from the movie. =)

  • it's good!

    but i think it's too many people, too many cats.. =D

  • Jeezzz what i wouldnt give to perform in that, i would give me right arm ffs!! i love CAts soooooooooooo much! very proffessional performance :P well done

  • I wish I was a good enough dancer or singer to be in Cats. Hopefully one day I will at least play in the band.

  • *Great* Voices. :-)

  • Wow. Nice voices.

  • Wow Wow Wow Wow!

    You are great! I have lost all my sane words that i intended to express my fascination with.

    Very well performed! I doubt whether a production at school can get any better.

  • Thanks so much! :D

  • hey! you sang really good!

  • This is so cool! your lucky you got to do CATS this is really good too

  • You can hear they are getting tired near the end of sings

  • Wow the first guy is really good hah ha ha huh kevin Jakes bro you rock kevin; All other people sorry insider joke

  • hahaha, nice one, man!

  • very good singing!

    its amazing!

  • i've been looking through all the videos of this particular show and as I'm not from the states it's really astonishing to see so many critical reviews! This is a high school performance! As far as I know the high school performance's in Europe are never as well rehersed and performed! The stage, the voices and YES! the coreography are all really, really good for a group of teenagers! You guys abolutely rock! I'm just wondering how much time and energy does this kind of production take? Bravo!

  • Thanks! I believe we rehearsed for about 2 and a half months. And yes there is a lot of work involved!

  • this was along time ago u guys must be all in collage

  • Pretty good. Your phrasing was really off though.

  • lol ur the only one who can sing

  • I think that was amazing, even with the choreography changed. I mean, you have to think. This is a highschool production, and unless it's a preforming art's school, it's going to be a pain in the rear to find teens that will wear all that. Plus there seems to be DOUBLE the amount of Cats on stage here vs. The video or broadway production. All in all, pretty damned sweet.

  • Wow great!...

    Choreography was crappy tho!!...

  • WOOOOO Go Dominican

    best Wisconsin high school drama department ever

  • really good.

  • i love this song

  • Comment removed

  • Out of curiousity, why didn't you guys use the actual choreography for the musical?

    This is definitely altered/invented.

  • Choreography is covered under copyright laws.

  • no its not.

  • who the hell choreographed that?

  • wow thats amazing for high schoooll :]

  • wow this is a high school production?!? good job

  • i felt awful for the girl whose voice cracked :(

    because I know she sings much better, but those things happen to everyone.

  • i favorite this video, this is so good.

  • I love this song from the musical!!

  • u did a nice job singing....i remember seeing this, i wish i could be in a production of Cats, but i doubt schatzke will do another one so soon

  • WOW I Remember watching the CATS Musical whan I was Small, now that I see it again! Im so Moved by it!! ^-^ MY favorite Boradway Musical Ever!! O and Nice Voice you have there Wish I had One!!(lol)

  • interesting

  • Sorry I meant I just got the part of Skimble in Cats

  • great Could you post it?

  • Posted!

  • I just got the part of Skimble in Cars.

  • is everything they do about cats?

  • This is really good. My high Shcool is doing it in March and I hope we can be as good as this. For an amatuer production it is just amazing. CATS is such an awsome musical.

  • Awesome, good luck! I hope you guys do great!

  • Out of all broadway musicals, CATS has always been a favorite of my family, I've seen it in London, in Los Angeles, Chicago, and in my home state of Arizona. I wish my High School would have put on something like this, but apparently we were pretty cheap. This is AMAZING!! BRAVO!

  • oh my god you guys did an amazing job :D

    my school's thinking of doing this next year, hopefully they do! cuz im in love with CATS. well great job!

  • Thanks so much!

  • Is this a high school or some thing??

  • well it kind of says high school production in the description, so yeah.

  • Well then your high school did a VERY GOOD job

    Two Tumbs Up

  • Do u hav the jellicle ball? Because if u do PLEASE post it I mean with this amount of talent that I've seen the jellicle ball would be phonomenal

  • Sure, I can post it!

  • Great! Thanks!

  • LOL... U should Ask at the Real Cats musical if u can sing with them too .. I think they would give u a job there XD Just Great 5*

  • I just can't stop watchin dis its just soooo coool!!!

  • Can you post jellicle ball?

  • what school ?

  • OMG.... that was so amazing... i can see u guys going into bradway.... i love all the videos of u guys doing this play on here.. u as Skemble... u r really good... if u have anymore plays u guys did i would love to see them..

  • we are going to do CATS next year too!

  • wow wow wow wow wow wow

    thats was fantastic, shame about the floor mics,

    your school must be so rich to afford such exuberant sets, costumes and lighting

    think you guys are fantastic.

    what other musical have you done???

    love your work, and well done to the choreographer !!!

  • cool! wish i were there!

  • i cant even BEGIN to explain how absolutely WONDERFUL this is.

    you have the most TALENTED school i have ever seen! simply extraordinary, and you have a wonderful voice by the way ;)

    FANTASTIC I LOVE IT!!

  • oh...my...god... THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! I have goosebumps!!! That was so amazingly spectacular. Your group is very talented. The only things i didn't like were "Were you there when the..." line was too quiet. and the girls voice cracked on "Would you sit on his throne?" Also, your floor mics were too turned up. But other than that the orchestra was superb, the lighting effects were the coolest, and the vocals were spot on! Great job to everyone! No weak voices. None. Nor weak dancers. 5/5*

  • very very impressive for a high school even to take on cats - extremely well done to all!!!!!!!!!

  • Your school is incredibly talented

  • You did a great job! I can't believe that this is a high school production. This performance is better than many of the tour productions you can see here on YouTube. Mungojerrie + Rumpleteazer are so cute! And the girl who sings at the beginning of "Macavity" is fantastic!! You as Skimble are very good and funny. He's one of my favourite characters. How long did rehearsals take?

  • Thanks so much! We had a lot of fun. It's hard to believe we performed this about 4 years ago! Our rehearsals took around 2-3 months.

  • you're good.

  • i cant belive a high school took on Cats...and, ITS DANG GOOOOOOOOD!! Very good guys!!!! Im in WOW!!!!! :-)

  • i recently did a dance with the british theater of dance asosiation and we did cats but i dont know what the song is called

  • lol i wayched thatat 4:00 today it was awsome! XD

  • we this this last year at my school and i was a chorus cat and understudy for demeter. our school won an awars for our production, this year, we're doing 42nd street!

  • great! I really wish my high school would do this.

  • amazing. Congratulatios!!! really, hats off.

    Danny

  • very very well done i wish my year at high school was as good as that

    GOOD JOB =)

  • It's a thumbs up

  • Where patrick LOL

  • Very well done! Love this opening!!

  • This is one of the only productions (of anything) I've seen where the men are infinitely better singers than the women. A lot of the sopranos, in particular, are very pitchy.

    The staging and musicians are AWESOME, though.

  • for me, it doesn't have the same energy that the movie version does... but mind you, those guys are professionals. This being a high school production, i think you guys did an insanely awesome job.

    thumbs up all the way!

  • i actually think this is better than the one in the movie! no lies.

  • The music was amazing!!!

  • that was really good. i hope wen i get to high school we cud be amazing like that

  • Wow! i hope when i get into highschool we could do this play, I've loved it ever since i was two! (btw are you canadian?

  • i LOVE this musical...I had the VHS copy of this years ago, lost it. can't wait to get the dvd. This freakin rocks!

  • haha m with you

  • Amazing!

  • love tat song

  • dang!!!! you have some wonderful voices there!!!

  • Absolutely awesome.

  • Your High School is way better than mine. Mine did CATS and killed it. IT was horrible

  • This is the best school production of CATS by miles! You really tried hard to make it the best!! FANTASTIC!

  • hahahahahahhahaha!!! her vo
