The terrible bore bit of Cats 98 is amazing because Tugger spends the entirety of his song deliberately annoying people. It's like his whole thing. Either he annoys people who dislike him and pisses them off or he annoys people who like him and revels in how they put up with it. He loves annoying people. His whole thing in Pekes is annoying everyone too; it's his whole gimmick, being h‌orny and annoying. And even worse than that he's basically impossible to annoy in return, notably by the likes of Bomba and Etcetera-- he's so insanely comfortable in his own skin that he can say or do pretty much whatever he wants and is untouched by the reactions of the others around him.

MOSTLY! BC WHEN MISTO skitters up to the front of the stage for the terrible bore line he barely even says Tugger's name before Tugger makes this face

Misto hadn't even insulted him yet! That's just his reaction to Misto contributing, he already knows the little bastard doesn't have anything good to say.

& it's just so hilarious that Tugger, this professional annoying asshole who makes a game out of pissing people off and being entirely unruffled in return, just immediately goes through the seven stages of grief the second Misto inserts himself into the song, with the thousand yard stare and everything. Doesn't even try to stop him. Doesn't try to retaliate or anything either-- some Tuggers ruffle Misto's hair condescendingly or smack his arm or whatever after that line, but 98!Tugger just stands there and waits for Misto to be done. & all the while he's mentally transcending the mortal plane Misto just looks blisteringly proud of himself. It's just so fucking funny.

Ultimately, the reason Cats (2019) didn’t work is that it never took itself seriously.

You may say “well, how could they possibly do that? The premise is ridiculous.”

Yes, the premise is ridiculous. But the show didn’t earn (at one point) the honor of “longest running show on Broadway” by simply being ridiculous.

People singing and dancing, dressed as cats, only works by suspension of disbelief.

You can’t suspend disbelief if the narrative isn’t trying to take itself seriously.

Will everyone enjoy the show, even when done right? No. There is, thus far, nothing everyone enjoys. We’re all different that way.

But this

Is not taking itself seriously.

They look more anatomically accurate and cost much more money to make, but that’s how they come across as less convincing.

Having the physical attributes. The exaggerated features to play off of is INVALUABLE to a Cats performer and their performance.

Cats (2019) doesn’t try too hard for feline mannerisms, but when they do, it doesn’t work. Why? Because there’s nothing actually there to play off of except imagination.

Imagination is a powerful thing, yes, but practical makeup, costumes, and effects are very useful. CGI is more beneficial when trying to create fully fictional or dangerous to film in landscapes. The ocean, an asteroid field, etc.

While humanoid cats aren’t a real thing, they have been created with practical means on stage for decades.

You can stack a cast until they reach the moon. You could have the absolutely most talented singers, dancers, and actors. It will all be meaningless if the overall production is not being taken seriously. Individual actors taking the project entirely seriously (Ian, Judi, etc.) will not make up for others (editing, effects, producers, etc.) not doing the same.

This absolutely goes for anything, with or without a ridiculous premise.

I love this gif, not just because Rumpleteazer messing with Munk during Pekes is one of my favorite 98 moments ever, but for the split second that you see Michael Gruber breaking character and smiling

#cats the musical #cats 1998 #she just refuses to leave him alone the entire time and it's so fucking funny
