have you heard about this ballroom-style production happening in nyc this summer? i'm so intrigued!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6EnK7xuf8_/

Yes! It's been on my radar for a while though I don't think I've posted anything about it yet - at least, I haven't decided on a tag for the production.

Honestly, going by my usual tagging system it should probably be '2024 pac' or '2024 nyc' but. For these guys. I sort of want to name it after its most prominent attribute which is. '2024 ballroom' 😌

Anyway have a promo clip, from their official insta, and some random cast photos out of costume.

(We don't have a lot of costume photos yet but we do know that these Jellicles will be fully humans, not feline: they are people existing within the ballroom cultural milieu of the period and 'jellicle cats' is just the pride name they use for themselves and each other. So if you strongly prefer your cats as cats, this might not be the show for you—but it's certainly a show that speaks to somebody else!)

(Also I'm just really enjoying the flurry of excitement from former Jellicles in comments on this production's posts.)

Dudney Joseph: Munkustrap (Emcee) (he/him).

Dava Huesca: Rumpelteazer (she/her)

Jonathan Burke: Mungojerrie (he/him)

Andre Deshields: Deuteronomy

Sydney Harcourt: Rum Tum Tugger

Baby: Victoria

Choreographers Arturo Lyons and Omari Wiles. (Obvs we're not going with Dame Gilly's choreo here.)

"A radical reimagining of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. Inspired by the Ballroom culture that roared out of New York City over 50 years ago and still rages around the world. Staged as a spectacularly immersive competition by Zhailon Levingston (Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, Chicken & Biscuits) and PAC NYC Artistic Director Bill Rauch (All the Way), with all-new Ballroom and club beats, runway-ready choreography, and an edgy eleganza makeover that moves the action from junkyard to catwalk.  Come one, come all, and celebrate the joyous transformation of self at the heart of Cats and Ballroom culture itself."

CATS September 8, 2024 (M) | Off-Broadway | 4K MP4 (10.54GB) | bikinibottomday’s master Cast: Baby (Victoria), Jonathan Burke (Mungojerrie), Tara Lashan Clinkscales (Booth Singer/Police Officer/Server), André De Shields (Old Deuteronomy), Sydney James Harcourt (Rum Tum Tugger), Rodrick Covington (Macavity), Dava Huesca (Rumpleteazer), Dudney Joseph Jr. (Munkustrap), Capital Kaos (DJ), Junior LaBeija (Gus), Robert "Silk" Mason (Mistoffelees), "Tempress" Chasity Moore (Grizabella), Bryce Faris (u/s Tumblebrutus), Xavier Reyes (Jennyanydots), Nora Schell ( Bustopher Jones), Bebe Nicole Simpson (Demeter), Emma Sofia (Cassandra/Skimbleshanks), Kendall Grayson Stroud (Electra), Phumzile Sojola (Booth Singer/Police Officer/Server), Garnet Williams (Bombalurina), Teddy Wilson Jr. (Sillabub) Notes: Great 4K capture of this production’s closing performance! Old Deutoronomy’s entrance sequence, which is approximately 8 minutes long, is blacked out due to the theatre-wide standing ovation. Some action on the balconies or in the audience couldn’t be captured, and because a lot of the staging uses the entire theatre, there are frequent wideshots. Some obstruction in the top right that blocks off a bit of action (mostly at the beginning). Some moments of wandering and unfocusing. The crowd is loud and enthusiastic, which is encouraged, but does mean some moments are difficult to hear and the audio is overwhelming. Curtain call is included (but mostly blindshot), audio is fed from external source. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBGUzF | ASKING $16 USD NOT FOR SHARING EXCEPT THROUGH ME UNTIL MARCH 2, 2025

GROUNDHOG DAY August 12, 2023 (E) | Off West End | 4K MP4 (9.9GB) | bikinibottomday’s master Cast: Andy Karl (Phil Connors), Tanisha Spring (Rita Hanson), Eve Norris (Nancy), Andrew Langtree (Ned Ryerson), Kamila Fernandes (Debbie), Aimee Fisher (Joelle), Nick Hayes (Ralph), Jacqueline Hughes (Piano Teacher), Ashlee Irish (Larry), Chris Jenkins (Gus), Billy Nevers (Fred), Mark Pearce (Sheriff), Ben Redfern (Buster), Durone Stokes (Deputy), Zack Guest (s/w Billy), Jez Unwin (Jenson), Annie Wensak (Mrs Lancaster) Notes: Great 4K capture of the run’s original closing date before the extension! There is a minor head obstruction on the bottom right that doesn’t block off much. There is also a pole obstruction on the far right that blocks off a little bit of action. Increased wandering / readjustment and unfocusing throughout leading to some wide shots and missed action. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAQSpK | ASKING $15 USD NOT FOR SHARING EXCEPT THROUGH ME UNTIL MARCH 2, 2025

Head is sometimes visible on the bottom but never blocks anything. Some washout on wider shots. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAQt1j | ASKING $15 USD NOT FOR SHARING EXCEPT THROUGH ME UNTIL MARCH 2, 2025

The filming is a little rough, especially in Act One, due to usher vigilance. Minor obstruction that is most prevalent in the first few minutes, and a few short blackouts. More moments of wandering and unfocusing than usual. Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source. https://mega.nz/folder/phZW3RBD#VOsOBZLheENBiz9zeSyhHw | ASKING $18 USD NOT FOR SHARING EXCEPT THROUGH ME UNTIL MARCH 2, 2025

Daly (Keith/Jermaine Jackson/Isley Brother [Vocal]), Zachary Downer (Tour Dancer/Marlon Jackson/James Brown [Dancer]/Nicholas Brother) Notes: Excellent 4K capture of this show.

Includes curtain call, audio is fed from external source. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBuGSH | ASKING $20 USD NOT FOR SHARING EXCEPT THROUGH ME UNTIL MARCH 2, 2025

WITHOUT YOU May 15, 2023 | Off Broadway | 4K MP4 (6.4GB) | bikinibottomday’s master Cast: Anthony Rapp Notes: Okay 4K capture of this moving show in its final few weeks. There’s increased wandering and unfocusing throughout due to the small space and intense usher presence. Some action on the extreme sides were cut off. In general, framing is much worse than usual as the camera was often pointed too high. Parts of the show in the second half were filmed in blind wideshot. Washout is semi frequent on wider shots. One exchange, lasting about a minute, was missed and instead a wall was filmed. Overall though, not a bad capture of a fairly difficult show to film. Audio is fed from external source, curtain call is audio only. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjADZ4m | ASKING $15 USD NOT FOR SHARING EXCEPT THROUGH ME UNTIL MARCH 2, 2025

Cats Fans

CONGRATULATIONS

You get to cast your own version of Cats to be filmed and turned into a movie!!! the only problem is you can't pick anyone from the 1998 movie, Unless it's for a different role then they were in the move then it's ok but is has to be a role they have once played in the past even if it was as a swing/cover (EX: Fergus Logan as Misto or Veerle Casteleyn as Victoria)

They can be from any production no matter the year or language used and you can pick actors from non-replicas too

Characters like Gus jr., George, and Exotica can be removed if you can't think of anyone but everyone else must stay and you can add other swings of you want and if need be you can change who plays the Rumpus cat and Macavity can have his own Actor if you want. and if you want a actor but they played the character under a different name (EX: Sillabub, Admetus, Carbuckety, Bill Bailly) they are allowed just keep the names from the 1998 movie

Your list of characters

Alonzo Asparagus Bombalurina Bustopher Johns Cassandra Coricopat Demeter Electra Etcetera Exotica George / Rumpus Cat Grizabella Gus Jr. Jellylorum Jemima Jennyanydots Mistoffelees Mungojerrie Munkustrap Old Deuteronomy Plato / Macavity Pouncival Rumpleteazer Rum Tum Tugger Skimbleshanks Tantomile Tumblebrutus Victoria

Have fun and reblog this to share your cast
