CATS DVD Cast

The CATS cast of the 1998 video, what they look like when they do not have their cats makeup on.
For those that didn't know, Bryn Walters plays another cat, other than Macavity - his name is Plato. Im sorry for not displaying this in the video,
Thanks for watching and please rate and comment!

[@pinkfeiry]

This cast was just downright perfect

[@raedroid1703]

Agreed! The best cats cast ever! John is the rum tum tugger, Jacob was the best mr mistoffelees, and of Elaine Page was the best Grizabella!

[@araceli3353]

yup

[@karaokeandrandomclips]

you mean purrrfect

[@sylvani1]

yes this is so true. just a pity that the editing is, to say the least, a bit crazy 🤪. cats that, in a second, change places, change shoe colors, change actresses, etc...🤔😂

[@kurtrummell477]

Rosemarie ford as bombalurina, and the lady that plays rumbleteazer are so cute

[@livridley3515]

Drew Varley (Mungojerrie) is one of my dance teachers at uni and he's the nicest, gentlest man you ever did meet

[@user-fi1ze8nn1c]

You are so lucky. I wish I had a chance to meet him or any other cast from Cats DVD version, too.

[@Nicole-ku9yg]

liv ridley so how much of the Mungojerrie accent is really his? 😂

[@morganleigh5142]

The version of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer from this rendition will always be the best!

[@xoxodizzydiva]

Omfg I have the biggest crush on mungojerrie you are so lucky.

[@Qgual]

Really???? what a lucky guy you are

[@Ayden_B]

John Partridge is the objectively BEST Rum Tum Tugger

[@Riverheart101]

I've worked with Jacob Brent, the actor who plays Mr. Mistofelees, in a choreography class and let me say he was just the coolest person I've ever met. (:

[@sophie-emma]

YOUR LIVING MY DREAM OMG

[@Actorentrianing]

I'm actually working on a production of The Music Man with Michael Gruber ( Munkustrap) right now. One of the nicest, humble and legally and wonderfully insane person I've ever met!

[@cargo71]

Absolutely!

[@TheSaintOfGod]

A lot of people don't know that Bryn Walters also played as Plato. He wasn't just Macavity.

[@platothefluffbutt765]

Charles Sharp Which is why they should have put him down as Plato and Macavity in the credits.

[@skullslace2426]

I think it's interesting that Plato's named Admetus in the Viennese production, when both are distinct characters in the movie version. Not only that, but I was surprised to learn that Pouncival and Tumblr brutus also have different names here.

[@mirkim25]

munkustrap is hot as hell

[@jordantoczek3237]

Mir Kim no shame

[@daisyramirez7736]

Amen for that... 😋😋😋

[@foxtatertot]

Do you mean the actor in the costume or just the actor??

[@xoxodizzydiva]

@@foxtatertot Damn both.

damn you're right♥♥

[@OfficialMarygraceBuckner]

This is the best cast of Cats!!! My all time favorite musical!!!

[@MandrakeMoorglade]

Always wondered who played Jemima. She has the cutest face both in and out of costume.

[@Jon420g]

I saw CATS live on broadway as a kid back in the late 80's and it was absolutely mesmerizing! The energy and talent level of the entire cast was off the charts! I still remember sitting up in the upper balcony and watching the actors cat crawling across the ledge over 25ft off the ground floor at the start of the show..

[@Just_Another_Piece_Of_Toast]

I love Jo Gibb with a passion

[@belawallace4329]

They were completely disguised

[@brittanymartin6122]

Well if they didn't wear make-up & costumes, then they wouldn't look like cats, now would they?

[@jbrockmam]

The guy who plays Munkustrap is Very attractive :)

[@littlegloomybear1]

My all time fav. is Etcetera, she's seriously sooo cute omg!

[@Awoman-ty7qh]

mine too.

[@piou77piou]

I knew it ! Jemima without make up is gorgerous. O.O

[@letticiadelgado9865]

Jemima with or without makeup is beautiful

[@briyarose5815]

Her voice is dubbed over though by another singer, because the director thought her Belgium accent to be too strong.

[@skullslace2426]

@@briyarose5815 her real voice really sounds similar, though.

[@cbukowski8844]

I think David Bowie(RIP) would have been quite a fun Rum Tum Tugger, but would have had to watch out for that labyrinth bulge

[@bellafahey1375]

omg

[@speedmetal9286]

I totally agree.

[@brittanymartin6122]

Maybe. But u know that life doesn't always go as planned.

I was about to comment that! I knew I recognised him from somewhere...

[@MissMiffed]

Oh my God, Jason Gardner (who plays Alonzo) is a judge on dancing on ice :')

Oh my gosh! Jemima is so pretty!!!

[@SimsFreakGaming]

My favorite cats were Victoria and Jemima.

[@CatchTheLoveBug]

I'm hardcore. I have the original VHS realeased in 1998 :)

[@speedmetal9286]

Alonzo Is the best cat. AND YOU FORGOT PLATO!, who is also Bryn walters.

Yeah! Everyone forgets Plato!!!! Just because you can't handle his adorableness, doesn't mean you can just skip right over him!

[@mcervantes]

Alonzo is the name of 1 of my 7 cats I called Alonzo from CATS of course

[@aritornow9796]

alonzo is just vibing and im here for that

I don't quite understand why Rumpus cat/Admetus gets double credits, but Macavity/Plato doesn't.

[@Confractus_]

is anyone going to acknowledge the fact that one of the cat's names is etcetera? As in the abbreviation etc.?? lmao

[@TheFerretyOne48]

I thought about it being etc too XD like maybe they just needed another Backup cat and couldn't think of a name so they were like screw it, etcetera it is lmao

[@Meliertessa]

I remember Rum Tum Tugger being my sexual awakening. As an elementary schooler I used to hide the DVD cover in my school bag because it had a huge pic of him on it 😭😂 I was so obsessed with him and used to watch his musical parts 1000 times in a row. I never told anyone though as even then I felt it was shameful to be so into a guy dressed up as a cat 😂 this entire musical is so sexual I swear all us kids growing up on this are fucked up adults now

[@firewheels90]

I've been watching this since I was 8 years old. I just turned 30. How the heck did I not realize what some of them were doing in the background? LMAO!!!

[@michellesauls9256]

I watched this for the first time as a 30-year-old bisexual adult and it was so weirdly appealing immediately, lol. Very weird feeling when they're supposed to be cats and you can't stop staring at their asses (although, come on - they all have dancer's asses, you can't NOT stare). Honestly, though, it's just such a great production. The choreography, the casting, the music, the visuals, the costumes... all flawless. Every cast member is just ridiculously talented.

[@AlyAltyr]

I love Coricopat. Always have. Always will.

[@Gabi.Dunkel]

rum tum tugger is the best cat

[@platothefluffbutt765]

Nah, it's Plato! He's the best! Rum Tum Tugger is great too though.

the makeup is just mindblowing.

[@papayajam1557]

I always knew RTT had to still be hot under all that makeup

[@ElaMongrella]

Bryn Walters also played Plato. Admetus is actually Plato's 2nd name, and the cat often mistakenly called Admetus is actually named George.

[@Cherry-sy6jz]

I had the DVD of this when I was 3, and my favourite cats were always Jemima, Rumpleteaser and Victoria

[@renathystdream]

Gotta admit, John Partridge is very easy on the eyes....wow. And Jacob Brent's Misto is so cute. Too bad they both play for the other side. sigh.

[@2004mojo]

This was an amazingly beautiful cast that was in roles in which they'd be in make-up!

[@PinkMangaPrincess26]

Just watching this cause I wanted to know what jemima looks like without the make-up and oh my gosh she is even more beautier

[@user-fi1ze8nn1c]

All the actors and actresses are so talented and beautiful!!!! I think my favorite actress is Jo Gibb, she's adorable, beautiful, and has great dancing skill, she made me fall in love with Rumpleteazer. And I love John Partridge, Jacob Brent, Micheal Grubber so much!!!!

[@somebodycooliguess1597]

Interesting how some of the actors who played more bombastic characters have a look behind their eyes that suggests they have quiet private lives. I hope I'm not the only one who sees it

[@Vintage1870]

wow I thought it was dubbed! Thats even more amazing now to think that she can just sing like that live!

[@gaminawulfsdottir3253]

It's easy to see why they chose Veerle Casteleyn as Jemima to be the cat on so many of the posters and promos. She is absolutely stunning, and the perfect embodiment of the show.
