Grizabella was the wrong cat to die. After seeing CATS the Musical for the first time in July of 2016, podcast host Mike Abrams was filled with a whirlwind of emotions. He was amused, confused, and a little angry. Almost exactly three years later when the 2019 CATS movie trailer came out, Mike had enough. It was time to speak his truth – Grizabella was the wrong Cat to Die at the Jellicle Ball. In... more

“ It's like an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race. You know there's a lot of people there. Some of them have very furry backs. Most of them pretend to dance and there's some cat fights. And then at the end one is chosen and everybody else is upset.” This ... more

The host slurs words and speak too fast. It also appears he has his own opinions about the guests’ characters and tries to force mythology that simply isn’t there. I truly don’t think those you interview care as much as you do.
Love this fun podcast! Having seen Cats both on Broadway and several times on the Oasis of the Seas, I still had no clue as to the relationships, back stories, etc, so it’s fun to hear everyone’s take! Love the variety of guests and hearing about their backgrounds and experiences while in the show. Keep up the good work!
This podcast is hilarious! It's the most in-depth, comprehensive discussion you'll ever hear about CATS the Musical! I love how Mike breaks down this musical and points out all of its idiosyncricies.
I adore this podcast. It’s so creative and goes into DEPTH for each cat’s personal story. And makes me LOL! 😻
At the airport before a transcontinental flight, I was overcome with a need to hear some talk about the better-than-I-thought-but-still-horrifying film of the musical CATS...and so I binged this VERY enjoyable exploration of the good, the bad, and the “wha-???” of CATS. I fully expect more episodes that take a deep dive into the film!
