i am so sorry but guys , this is a poor performance .a sad interpretation . and before anyone accuses me of comparing , i am not asking for the London Production but this is such a lack of energy , drive , they are not convincing at all . i am surprised some people are saying this is good . good ? no amateur . i expect better from a " Broadway "
Oh my gosh! This is so funny! I just read a book about all these people, and it was from the point of view of the guy who played Asparagus, and this is exactly how it was. I like the video cast wayyyyyy better. :)
R.I.P. The guy who played Mistofelees in this video... Even though AIDS took your life, you'll always be in everyone's hearts.
I just wanted to make a few points. The song is cut up because it had to fit the Tony Awards time slot. As far as comparing this cast to the video cast... it's just a stupid thing to do. Of course you cannot expect this cast to sound as good because they are singing while dancing. The video cast sang in a studio and did not have to worry about the quality of their voices while dancing. You should not compare this cast to the video cast because each cast performed under different circumstances.
Theater is much more complicated than footage, in my opinion. Costumes, fast changes, technical thingies, all that stuff. With footage, everything is much much more organized. But I am very much surprised with this original cast. they're pretty good, to be honest, without comparing.
@NatalieAnnFox The only reason you can tell who the cats are is because you've seen them throughout the rest of the show- if the entirety of the Broadway cast was filmed, you'd be able to spot them all here (Heck, I still can despite that). As for the makeup, this was 1982. The video cast is 1998. And it's done for television and not for stage, with different matters in consideration for each.
Seriously, know the contexts before making unfair comparisons.
Sigh..... I just read a fanfic story about ten minutes ago on Timothy Scott.....I CRIED SO HARD! RIP Timothy.... Anyways, I do really think this is a little to fast. It seems like Andrew Lloyd Webber didn't like this song to begin with because he made them rush threw it! XD
Oh Timothy Scott the original Broadway Mistoffelees, fantastic preformer ,may he RIP. I have to say i do prefer Jacob Brent as Mistoffelees though he puts alot into the character. It seems to rushed, the movie however allows you enough time to see all of the wonderful choreography but this is still wonderful.
what's awesome is how some characters are instantly recognizable! i mean a lot of the costumes are different and yeah of course the film one are of better quality. BUT i instantly recognized bomularina, casandra munkustrap of course! i just think it's cool for the productions to stay true to the look of some of these characters
The reason why this is rushed and super different is because in 1983's original broadway, they added a few more lines. And becaus eof that this cast followed T.S. Eliot's original one. And Before they thought that's how cats should look like, so nothing's weird at all. I mean, this is the 19's.
hahah I think this ones better than the video version. Not the shots, of course. But the actors are better... They act more like real cats. The makeup, though... it's not the best, but it's the first, so. It's more illuminated here too, and it helps to see the whole coreography when theyre all dancing simultaneously.
Totally 80's. I mean while phantom of the opera, which came out four years later, was victorian french opera style, CATS was completely 80's from music to costumes. The movie cast had more money to spend on costumes, editing, and the style of the costume was changed because different actors played the parts. The movie wasn't all one cast.
So, given the multiple angles and the changing shots... This was professionally filmed. Ah... does it exist? Rather, is it possible to obtain it, without it being a second-hand recording off a TV?
I think everyone like the video better because theyre used to it and expect everyone to be up to par with it. The video cast had MUCH longer too work, and more times too perfect it, it being recorded and all.
there's one video here in youtube which shows a bit behind the scenes of the video version of this play and i think the make-up artist said that they had to change the make-up and make it softer since the performers are gonna act in front of cameras and not audiences
Okay, I've kinda changed my mind about what I said 9 months ago. Kinda. I mean, yeah the singing's still a bit... But I've seen worse costumes. And it is the OBC.
their makeup is really harsh, the dancing in the video is better, ive went to see the new one 2ce and i absolutely love it. this ones just...kind of sucks. who agrees?
the only thing that this version has that the video version doesnt have is that i can understand what the words are......but if i had to chose to donate money between either or..... it would be the video version
@mimi8675 The reason this seems rushed is because this performance is from the Tony Awards, and thus there was only a certain amount of time for them to be on stage.
I prefer the European versions (old and new), but I think that if they were given more stage time, they would have performed with much more enthusiasm :/ But I like this makeup/costume design almost as much as the beautiful British design, because of the variety and wildness :3 some of the expressions make me giggle
HE WAS A COMPLETE LEGEND!!! Get the book "Diary of a Cat: The the Broadway Production of CATS was Born." It really explains EVERYTHING ABOUT TIM!!! Unfortunately he collapsed dead on the stage of West End (during the invitation) cuz of AIDS :(
This is seriously weird. I think the video cast are WAY better than this lot. Their voices are better,their costumes are better,their dancing is better - have I made my point???
The movie version had most of the people from the london cast at the time. I thinkthey were all the same excpt mungo, rumple, jemima and skimble. If you find the original london cd, then youll find one that sounds like the movie version ^^
you can find the orig. 1981 london on amazon. . . many of the people from the vid. cast joined many worldwide productions (dutch etc.) and many joined the later b'way and west end productions. . . actually the ol' deut from the vid. cast is in that video right there as old deut. . .
it does feel very rushed. an the one on dvd that i have when their grouped together is sung differently. and a show falls down in front of them at one point. truley different styles. thanks for shareing
I've listened to "Cats" soundtrack for pert near two decades without ever having seen the original Broadway (or any visual) version. Occured to me to youtube it and - viola! I must say that I prefer what is toted as "original" performance to other, despite any improvement in costuming. Nonetheless, 'tis a wonderful piece of art with which to encourage the imagination run wild. Glad it exists! BTW just a farm gal, so real theatre is out of my reach.
Everytime the Mistoffolees (Timothy Scott) sings "Dive through the air.." I want to cry. He died from AIDS in 1988 and was a great Mistoffolees. The Old Deuteronomy costume cracks me up every time.
One of them is an early Broadway/London Cettie. Her early costume evolves into Rumpleteazers costume, because she doubled for her in Original Broadway.
At 2:23 - 2:24 there's skimble. At 2:35 - 2:27 there's gus in the back left. At 2:39 - 2:41 there's tugger. At 2:41 - 2:43 there's a better vier of gus. At 2:44 - 2:47 there's skimble again. At 1:41 - 1:43 there's Alonzo. At 1:22 - 1:27 (the orange cat) there's jennyanydots. Don't believe me? See my parents who see me glued to the computer looking up CATS.
Oh, don't be mean to Darkrangerofthedeep whoever gave her a thumbs-down. She's my friend, and she means well, it's just, she doesn't have a great sense of what's funny. No offense meant, DROTD. :D Seriously. I probably couldn't have handled that when I was 4.
I wouldn't say the film version is better. they're both awesome! I love the makeup in this one, it's just so diffrent from what you see in the movie, it's nice for a change.
I like how the video version is slower though, and you get to see more of the cats as they sing.
Its funny how The Rum Tum Tugger was insipired by Mick Jagger partially. Cause in this video I kept thinking about how he looked so much like Mick Jagger xD
my nana and mum saw the original london cast and always say 'OMG it was so much more amazing' and i supose it was for the time. but nothing can beat the film version now! sorry if u disagree! cast, costume etc.
Just wanted to point out that this is the First Cast from the Broadway production on October 7, 1982. The production that is shown on the DVD in the making of cats is showing the first Cast from The first ever show debuted in London's West End in 1981.
It's basically all about these cats that want to be reborn and come back to a different life. The music is amazing and lyrics are awesome. I've seen it 8 times life, so i'm pretty sure i know what i'm talking about!!
I'm afraid not. :-( On THIS DVD ("Broadway's lost treasures") there are only this two songs from CATS (Jellicle Songs and Memory).On this DVD you can also found other parts from another musicals ("Annie" for example or "Cabaret" with Joel Grey from the early 70's). But I don't know anyone who can have the whole Show (I'm also searching for it. :-) )
I only have the whole Show from Germany (Hamburg 1999) and from Vienna (1989) and of course the Video. Sorry. :-(
i am so sorry but guys , this is a poor performance .a sad interpretation . and before anyone accuses me of comparing , i am not asking for the London Production but this is such a lack of energy , drive , they are not convincing at all . i am surprised some people are saying this is good . good ? no amateur . i expect better from a " Broadway "

Its funny how The Rum Tum Tugger was partially inspired by Mick Jagger, cause during the video I couldn't stop thinking that!
Also, who's the girl with solo during memory?

It's almost the same dance as in the movie. I like the movie cast a lot more though.

ok thanks well i guess i'll be expecting alot of this play then lol... But what is this play about though?
moviesrule23 3 years ago
It's basically all about these cats that want to be reborn and come back to a different life. The music is amazing and lyrics are awesome. I've seen it 8 times life, so i'm pretty sure i know what i'm talking about!!
smooth395 3 years ago
i agree with smooth395 :) this is amazing if you want my opinion. i have also seen it 8 times and i will never get bored :D
just out of interest when/where are you seeing it?

I'm afraid not. :-( On THIS DVD ("Broadway's lost treasures") there are only this two songs from CATS (Jellicle Songs and Memory).On this DVD you can also found other parts from another musicals ("Annie" for example or "Cabaret" with Joel Grey from the early 70's). But I don't know anyone who can have the whole Show (I'm also searching for it. :-) )
I only have the whole Show from Germany (Hamburg 1999) and from Vienna (1989) and of course the Video. Sorry. :-(
