About:
Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the show is set amongst a larger- than-life junkyard playground and is alive with our favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year - the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.

She Literally does that whole phrase in one breath! HOWWWWW!!?!?

[@loveintheair5913]

By FAR the best Grizabella ever, after Elaine Paige of course... I saw her twice on Broadway and cried. Chills Chills CHILLS! ! ! ! !

[@inspectorjavert8443]

What about Betty Buckley

[@robinanwaldt]

@@inspectorjavert8443 I know you didn’t ask me, but I think Buckley’s performance, while technically the most impressive, lacks the emotion that others brought to the role.

[@felixfelicius7330]

Elaine Paige 😂 As if

[@josephjulianmuscat9692]

I don't get emotional easily, but that was 74 seconds of emotion I was not prepared for

[@coolslayer4503]

the “all alone with the memory” healed my scoliosis

[@Turbo9987]

All in one breath! What a goddamn power move!

[@alessandragrellet579]

I've watched her perform this live at Broadway, was not prepared at all. I gasped very loudly, it's incredibly beautiful

[@LucasTheUltimate]

The first Grizabella that brings me the chils after a LONG time, since I heard Elaine's version for the first time. Not to mention she nailed it with a single breath like, HOW!?

[@maysaaalikhan962]

She is one of the best!!!!

[@marcobellacci6839]

One breath?!! :-O

[@PaleBluu]

so much emotion! for me the best grizabella next to elaine.

[@finleyforevermore]

We need an album and proshot with this cast, now. No edits to make it shorter. Just the whole show.

[@lukasbastek2166]

19 seconds of belting out her heart 🥺🙏🏻 stunning 😍

[@arthurinuk]

This performance has haunted me from the first time I saw it.

[@carleighmae9825]

[@marizetemessias1903]

[@ciaraplaysmc6188]

we are doing cats in school and we are doing this song

[@jenni-leafinch5732]

Really? I never knew this song was in Cats......

[@jwcarty]

Cats isn't Cats without this song

[@sophia.c7318]

Wow! So your doing a production of Cats with the song memory? Never knew that Memory was included in the musical! Wow.... ur a dumbass

[@fruncedx6225]

What do you call that thing she does where she's deliberately dragging slightly behind the beat? That's pretty neat!

[@jovindsouza3407]

I believe it's called Tempo Rubato (stolen time). Sideways explained it in his video on CATS, basically it's when you mess around with the internal structure of whatever you're singing to make it sound organic. You can use it to make up for having slower diction during tougher parts by physically slowing down now you sing, and then speeding up again to catch the orchestra during the easier parts.

[@skyepeters4174]

we're doing this

[@danielstewart6509]

if they make a movie of this in 2019 . why can't they ask Betty Buckley to come back as Grizabella

[@RiahYannaBeans]

Little did you know they did and it's Jennifer Hudson

[@к.костић]

Make a movie they did... yikes...

[@mokarokas-1727]

@@RiahYannaBeans - They most likely did know, from trailers, and asked why it wasn't Buckley doing the role.

wow she is good. she even cried a little 0.49 sec despite people not being able to see that.

[@sargentpunkin]

2 words;; BETTY BUCKLEY....listen to her sing this on the 1982 lp I was there

[@LeiaLovesCats]

Very powerful performance of Betty Buckley indeed, but just take the part where they both sing "Touch me its so easy to leave me all alone with the memory of my days in the sun" - Most singers sing it in two parts, with a notable breathtake after "leave me" and "all alone". Betty Buckley sings it with notable pauses between all four parts, and that kuills the singing part for me. Mamie Parris sings it on a sigle breathtake - it is much more prefessional that way, and she even makes it look... EASY.... Damn she know how to breath during a dufficult part, and she even MADE IT MORE DIFFICULT (the original is with a single breath itake) ... just because she can.

[@dougandellen]

P

[@amandahovendon2143]

Yes I prefer her

[@아몰랑-k6i]

what her name?

[@к.костић]

Grizabella

[@finleyforevermore]

The character is Grizabella, the actress is Mamie Parris.

[@W1ntersFolly]

what happened to Elaine?

[@serenagrayson2149]

That was in the 90s this was 2016. She wasn’t going to play Grizabella for that long

[@Dropsz]

Could you guys upload the new rum tum tugger the rapping one please. thank you.

[@99lodewijk]

Dj he isn't in this (broadway) production

[@turnippoppy4662]

I still prefer the og singer for the background. it needs to be a pure voice. the background in this wasn't good enough. but the lead singer is amazing.

[@ej3016]

dreadful hair / makeup - Elaine Paige’s in film version has spoiled me for anything else -

[@Mercuryanka]

Her costume is horrible...

[@rosiecurwen2779]

Truth Hurts it's meant to be... Grizabella's been on the streets for most of her life...

[@wihtorimarttila4230]

Rosie Curwen OOOOOH TRUTH HURTS GOT ROASTED

[@scottmcalister4511]

I love it 😍

[@jadepeppermint2734]

grizabella would have to one of my favorite cats
