Episode 15 - What's New, Pussycat? Backstage at CATS with Tyler Hanes

In the very last episode of his vlog, CATS star Tyler Hanes bids farewell to the beloved show.

[@krazyrhcpfan22]

really wish he would have interviewed john Partridge

[@GretchenV95]

Omg yes 🥺

[@jojo5821]

the first 7 minutes of this felt like one long vine in the best way possible

[@M00nqueen]

I absolutely LOVE how they threw shade at rapper tugger 😂😂😂

[@MrNrj6490]

It's insane to think about how much coordination, hard work, and talent goes into pulling a show like this off. Kudos to everyone involved with shows all around the world.

[@broadwayisbest2.0formerbab62]

I wasn't expecting this I'm so happy😂😂😂😂😁😁😁but torn at the same time coz cats has cloooseedddd

[@bradenmills624]

Tyler is me at a party. Heading straight for the food.

[@kathrynsimpson334]

I WAS THERE! I have the clip of the speech at the end on my phone. My favorite musical ❤️

[@boziejumonville9755]

Kathryn Simpson mine too where is it playing?

[@mariposa8430]

I got so excited when I saw Tyler and Terrence together!! Them talking about Rap Tugger was the best part of their chat

[@floowing7544]

The rocky horror reference made me way too happy

[@mrgoodfind4949]

“How is it like to meet your idol?” Lol Tyler

[@sillylittlesalmon]

well now i'm crying and ugly sobbing. it was amazing: watch this videos, smile, laugh. It is some kind of dream - see this musical in real, not on record. but it's almost impossible, show had ended and i live in other country, where cats only and last time were in 2005 year. so i can only watch old shows. thank you.

[@mckennaburns5688]

I MISS YOU GUYS ALREADY!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!!!!! (especially ricky)

Cats made me fall in love with Musical Theatre , when I heard the show was closing I gave my mom a choice, take me, or I would run away. Best Birthday gift ever

[@ashareeoo]

Awwww I loved this cast! And what, omg Terrence Mann?! Amazing!!

[@elysekuss3065]

I loved Terrence Mann's answer to the last question, such a great piece of advice. I'm sad to see the show go but I loved watching these vlogs!!

[@callofabyss]

My heart is shattered at the fact that I never could go have seen them. I'm so sad; I was crying halfway through the vlog.

[@houseofballet]

Thank you for making me smile and laugh all these months. I wish for you the happiness you gave all of us who watched you! -Caitlyn

[@gabblanke6678]

Anyone else wanna see Tyler as Frank N. Furter?

[@Broadwaygirl918]

I do!

[@Broadwaygirl918]

Wow! Its Tugger and Tugger! The original and the new one!

[@thatvintagechick2923]

I wish I could have seen you guys so bad but alas I live Minnesota. Cats has made such a huge impact on my life you have no idea i will be forever changed thank you everyone who had a hand in making this production amazing

[@sisikaddams9281]

I saw this closing night and it was SO amazingly wonderful! *roar*

[@camopug]

OMG, I named my cat Terri because of Terrance Mann. I fell in love with him back in the day. OY ;) This was amazing! I too listened to Cats on cassette in my VW rabbit. In fact I still own Cats on VHS. Crazy! lol, I'll always, always, always have a special place in my heart for Cats. PS. Terri was, of course, excellent as Javert.

[@katienapolitano7525]

Oh. Oh man I'm crying. I saw this 3 times and I LOVED it

[@tamarajordan1985]

So amazing, I love this vlog and Tyler Hanes. How DARE someone dislike this this video! 😆

[@Julia-um1ii]

I grew up with Cats. I'll miss it - I'll love it - now and forever!

[@crimsonpawstudios472]

I want to cry.... The Stage Coach I used to go to did this show once and it was probably the best show we'd ever done! I was so sad when I had to leave but doing the show is one of the best memories I have of it and watching this has brought back so many memories. I'll see something or someone and be like, "Oh I remember doing that!" or "I remember who acted as them!" And it makes me so happy but so sad... THANK YOU Tyler for making this happen and letting all of us watch these vlogs, it makes us all so happy :')

[@IWillBeHers]

At least the national tour launches next January! (It actually launches at my local theatre in Providence)

[@callofabyss]

IWillBeHers national?? fucc Now I'm even more sad because I live in Asia

[@MrMrRubic]

@@callofabyss YOU THINK YOURE SAD? The show tours North America, Japan and the "international" tour is only Asian places. I live in Norway and have been planning to go to London to see the original show for YEARS, BUT NOOO, THEY SHIT IT DOWN! :(

[@pumpkinpatch5]

MrMrRubic Don’t worry. It’s probably best you missed ‘rapping street cat Tugger!’

[@charliebirnie8052]

I just saw the national tour of cats in Toronto! it was amazing!

[@bediebysstar1939]

Olivia Birnie Same! It was incredible!

[@lizlandes500]

[@mkaplan1383]

"These modern productions are all very well But there's nothing to equal from what I hear tell That moment of mystery when I... *voice breaking* made history...." *Sobbing*

[@alansmithee419]

4:05 I don't know if that was intentional but it was an incredible joke if so.

[@ligertanimations8113]

I watched cats when I went on a cruise. it was awesome!

[@ligertanimations8113]

[@Chaneloweenz]

[@johnadley2020]

[@emilytolman5295]

Does anyone know who the cast is for the touring company?

[@justinm2697]

The tour doesn't start unttil January 2019 so it will be months I suspect before the cast is announced.

[@valensusanto9561]

They need to do this wearing cat ears to make what they said make sense. 8:34

[@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat]
