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 "

@DefLeppard981 I'm ready the book too! I'm loving it so far. I got it for Christmas. :D

@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.

[DefLeppard981]

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.

this is the australian version when thay came out on the tent tour..i think

[MultiPearl007]

they completely butchered the song by cutting it up

[raintalonwindclan]

I found Betty Buckley :D

[MusicLuver0806]

This is a great show.. They've done it pretty well.. I like it.. But, I LOVE the Video cast..

[DudeinGold]

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.
