The screaming baby at the top of the opening number is exactly why you couldn’t pay me to go on a cruise. Not only did they bring a newborn on a cruise, but they brought it to the theatre, too. Unbelievable.
What’s wrong with bringing your children on holiday? A baby shouldn’t be without it’s mother that young anyway. I agree with the theatre bit tho. They shouldn’t have bought it in.
The hell with that screaming kid in the beginning. Sure, it's good to introduce your kid to theatre, but damn - choose the right play to go to. That there is songing and dancing in it doesn't mean it's for kids
this was the cast i saw in the beginning of september this year!! im so glad this video is up so i can watch them again, the cast interacted with my family and i a lot during the show. i miss them all so much lol
Where was this video'd? It was quite good. I met my EX, Cindi Klinger in 1983 here in Chicago @ the Shubert Theatre, where she played Bombalurina in the First National Touring Company of Cats!! Time sure flies -:that was 40 years ago! ❤
this was recorded on the royal caribbean cruise ship , the oasis of the seas! they have had a running production since 2014, where casts get rotated out every 6 months or so. hence the title being “cast 14” as it is from the 14th rotation. :) what a crazy story!! thanks so much for sharing!! i’m on the younger side of the cats fan base so i’m always amazed when people share stories from older productions. i’m pretty sure i’ve seen archival photos of her before! so cool
Omg, that's Jackey Good as Jellylorum!! In an earlier cast of RCCL, she was playing Griddlebone and Growltiger with Stanley Allyn Owen. So sad they cut that, tbh. Nonetheless, thank you so much for uploading this!
yeah ! her actress was out so victoria covered most of her singing parts :) it became a victoria/rumpleteazer split track as theres no understudies/swings for the RCCL casts
A new cats recording 🥲😭❤❤ OP thank you so much for the HQ recording & upload. Also isn't it funny how Victoria covering Sillabub/Jemima kinda goes along with the terrible CGI Cats movie ahfjdjjssi but as usual the stage show makes it work much more gracefully.
In the 1981 original Broadway production, all the parts later given to Sillabub were done by Victoria, including on the 1981 original cast recording. However, Victoria's actress at that time felt she wasn't a good enough singer for the part, especially the solo bit in Memory, and was wasn't keen on doing it. So it was rearranged to go to Sillabub as it had been in the original West End London version. So seeing Victoria here in what was her original role in the show is pretty neat ngl.
@@FrozenRose816 Wow I didn't even know that! So it's like with Mistoffelees, where he sang The Old Gumbie Cat and parts of Old Deuteronomy originally.
i said in a different reply, it means royal caribbean cruise line! meaning this is the 14th cast of cats on the royal caribbean cruise ship "oasis of the seas" :)
rccl stands for royal carribean cruise line ! cats the musical has been playing on the oasis of the seas cruise ship since 2012 i believe (this is just off the top of my head, apologies if the year is wrong) but basically the cast is replaced once or twice a year for the most part! so , tldr this is the 14th cast of the royal carribean cruise line cats run :)
@@DasmusicMusicalsonUA-cam if it was the US tour then it would be cuz thats based on the last Broadway revival which was a hybrid of both Gillian Lynnes original staging and Andy Blankenbulers from that revival. This staging is based on the 2014 London Palladium production by the looks of it.
thank you so much for this!!! i adore this cast, and i got to see one of their last shows yesterday. i'm so happy that there's a recording!
youre so silly

Cats is definitely also for kids, crying kids aren’t fun for anyone involved but cats isn’t really a musical only for adults
So glad more rccl shows are being posted and this cast did so amazing !!!!!
this was the cast i saw in the beginning of september this year!! im so glad this video is up so i can watch them again, the cast interacted with my family and i a lot during the show. i miss them all so much lol

Thank you so much! Great to have footage of the new cast. ❤
For an RCCL show this is actually really good. Im impressed.
If you don't want to wait during the intro, here is the skip to the beginning:
3:10

Wasn't this 95-minute format similar to the Atlantic City premiere of "Cats" in 2001?
do RCCL productions have a live orchestra or are they performing to a track?
The orchestra is located in a sound booth backstage, and the actors watch a live feed of their cues.
What does rccl mean?
i said in a different reply, it means royal caribbean cruise line! meaning this is the 14th cast of cats on the royal caribbean cruise ship "oasis of the seas" :)
This is the question I was looking for.
@@bugznbuttons This is the comment I was looking for.
Whots Yor name boys cats
Sorry for my ignorance but what is an RCCL Cast?

@@bugznbuttonsthe lighting in the opening is amazing very different from tour version I saw this year
@@DasmusicMusicalsonUA-cam this cast is more like London style
@@DasmusicMusicalsonUA-cam if it was the US tour then it would be cuz thats based on the last Broadway revival which was a hybrid of both Gillian Lynnes original staging and Andy Blankenbulers from that revival. This staging is based on the 2014 London Palladium production by the looks of it.
