1.Overture [ Top ]
Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement.
Suddenly an explosion of lights and music fills the theatre,
revealing a larger-than-life junkyard. Probing car lights
tear across the darkened landscape of bottles and boxes,
briefly catching the darting image of a running feline.
One by one, the curious cats emerge. Tonight is the one special
night each year when the tribe of Jellicle Cats reunites to
celebrate who they are. The cats emerge singing of their unique
abilities and special traits in a fusion of poetry and dance.
2.Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats [ Top ]
3.The Naming of Cats [ Top ]
They are proud, however, and they explain to their human visitors
who they are and reveal that cats have three different names:
the one the family uses daily, the more dignified name and a secret
name. It is the cat's contemplation of the latter that keeps felines
in deep thought.
4.The Invitation to the Jellicle Ball [ Top ]
The young and innocent white cat Victoria performs a solo
dance. Munkustrap, a large grey tabby who serves as the show's
narrator, explains that the Jellicle Cats meet once a year to
rejoice! He also explains that they are waiting for their leader,
the wise Old Deuteronomy, who will choose which one of the
Jellicle Cats will this year journey to the Heaviside Layer to be
reborn to a new life!
5.The Old Gumbie Cat [ Top ]
Munkustrap introduces Jennyanydots who sleeps and lounges all
day long. But at night, she becomes a super-active nanny. She
instructs the mice in music and crochet work, and keeps the
cockroaches busy. The cats take this opportunity to dress up with
Jenny and perform an exuberant tap dance.
6.The Rum Tum Tugger [ Top ]
The second cat we are introduced to is "The Rum Tum Tugger,"
a playful prankster that the female cats find extremely attractive.
Tugger explains how fussy he can be: he wants what he doesn't have,
and doesn't want what's offered to him. The one thing that he does
enjoy is being the center of attention, which he is throughout
the number.
7.Grizabella, The Glamour Cat [ Top ]
The evening takes a somber turn when the outcast figure
"Grizabella, The Glamour Cat" appears. Although she is a
Jellicle Cat, the rest of the tribe shun her. She had left
the tribe years ago to explore the outside world. The outside
world has been hard on her, however, and she who was once a
beautiful and glamorous feline is now tattered and torn.
Although she wants to return, the other cats are cruel, clawing
and hissing at her. But Grizabella is proud, and she vows to return.
8.Bustopher Jones [ Top ]
The next cat to join the proceedings is the hefty "Bustopher
Jones." A large "twenty-five pounder," always clad in his
signature white spats, Bustopher spends his time eating, eating
and eating in one of the many English pubs and clubs that he
frequents. Jennyanydots is quite besauntered with him, and helps
sing his praises. He responds, to her great delight, by kissing
her hand.
9.Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer [ Top ]
Suddenly there is a thunderous crash, followed by the sound
of police sirens and flashing red lights. The villainous cat
Macavity is on the loose! The cats scatter, leaving an empty
stage.
Two off-stage giggles signal the entrance of Mungojerrie and
Rumpleteazer, a fun-loving, frolicking team of pranksters,
always getting in trouble with the family with whom they live.
10.Old Deuteronomy [ Top ]
The entire tribe rejoins as their benevolent and wise
leader Old Deuteronomy arrives. The cats adore and respect him.
11.The Jellicle Ball [ Top ]
The action is intruded by yet another crash from the villainous
Macavity, which sends the cats scurrying! Old Deuteronomy soothes
them, as they come back one by one. It is time for "The Jellicle
Ball," the great yearly dance in which all of the cats celebrate!
12.Grizabella [ Top ]
Grizabella intrudes once more, wanting to rejoin her
family and be a part of the celebration. The cats again
scorn her. She is left to contemplate her "Memory" of
the time before she left the tribe, when she was once
young, beautiful and happy.
13.The Moments of Happiness [ Top ]
It's after the Jellicle Ball, and the cats are resting,
contemplating before they resume introducing more cats.
14.Gus, the Theatre Cat [ Top ]
"Gus The Theatre Cat" appears next. He's an aged stage actor
suffering from palsy, who worked with the greatest actors of his
day. Gus tells of his greatest theatrical triumphs, and yearns
to do it again.
15."Growltiger's Last Stand" [ Top ]
In the fantasy sequence "Growltiger's Last Stand," Gus relives
one such triumph, playing the pirate Growltiger. In this sequence,
Growltiger, a feared feline sea captain and his amour, Griddlebone,
meet an untimely end after battling a crew of Siamese sailors.
16.Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat [ Top ]
We are pulled back to the present as "Skimbleshanks The Railway Cat"
introduces himself. A friendly uncle to all of the cats, Skimbleshanks
attends the trains he rides, and makes sure every detail is perfect.
17.Macavity [ Top ]
A third crash interrupts the celebration, and this
time the villainous Macavity appears! Two of his henchman
invade the proceedings and kidnap Old Deuteronomy! Two
felines familiar with Macavity, Demeter (a frightened
kitten who had been previously abducted by Macavity) and
the older and more sensual Bombalurina (a goodtime girl
who gets along with everyone) sing what they know of
"Macavity"
18.Mr. Mistoffolees [ Top ]
The Rum Tum Tugger calls in "Mr. Mistoffolees," the original
"conjuring cat" to use his magical powers to bring back their
leader. Mistoffolees succeeds in getting back all of the lights,
relocating Old Deuteronomy, and showing off his magic tricks,
including his infamous "conjuring turn."
19.Memory [ Top ]
At last, the time has come for Old Deuteronomy to make
the Jellicle Choice and decide which one cat will be reborn
into a new Jellicle life. At that moment, Grizabella reappears.
Again she recalls her "Memory" of how things used to be. She
pleads to her brothers and sisters, yearning to come back to
them. This time, through a greater appreciation of tolerance,
the cats accept her back into the tribe.
