What I love about John Patridge as Rum Tum Tugger is that he puts a lot of swagger into his performance. He certainly embodies Tugger's confidence well. Is it any wonder why he was chosen for the official 1998 adaptation?
@@bibidelafield1946 Just when I thought I couldn't be a bigger fan of him, I learn he knows German. Is there anything he CAN'T do? John Partridge is incredibly amazing!
After watching the fabulous John Partridge in this, I immediately went on eBay and bought a DVD of this show. What incredible control he has over his body and singing with such nuance as he moves. He is the best. Can't get enough of him.
Just watched John Partridge do this number in the musical film and now to see this done years before with very different choreography is fascinating. Both versions are terrific because of John's superior talents and infectious sense of fun! He is WONDERFUL!
John Partridge is the best at Rum Tum Tugger. He exudes this rock star charm that I just love. Everyone else who plays RTT comes off like a closeted homosexual, which is ironic because John Partridge is himself a gay man and he is super masculine in the role.
Oh my, this is amazing!! Fergus makes an adorable Misto!! Adored this performance of Tugger!! Plus Cori and Tanti in the background was so cute!! (along with Pounce, Mungo and Misto trying to imitate Tugger in the back)
Webber said they scoured the world - literally! - for the best Cats performers to play the 1998 musical. This is why there were performers from USA, Australia and Belgium, alongside the mostly British cast. Cats 'the Musical' was the best the world could offer. If only the backroom team hadn't fscked up the editing, it would have certainly scored a 9/10, rather than the 7/10 it deserved.
3:22 I CAN’T THAT’S ADORABLE! Tho it is a bit overreact, it’s even funnier than in the 1998 film (tho the film is awesome too, I’m not trying to compare actors!)
I'm amazed at just how different the instrumentation is only 3 years apart. Partridge rocks it no matter what year or language he's performing in or what orchestration he's playing too lol. Also, dying to find more video of this Bombalurina
This is the original 16 piece orchestration that was used for the London production and the first two UK tours. The film got a 70 piece orchestration which was never used in any stage version of Cats.
Ich schau die DVD nie, da schau ich mir lieber Videos wie dieses an :D Wenn ja nur irgendwie mal das Video der Derniere in London auftauchen würde.....:/
Love Johnny as Tugger! Do you have some more videos with him? I think I've seen everything available on YT. I found a website where you can download videos of several shows but in my country it doesn't works...
Oh, thanks! It's so funny see him in different role. I'd like to see him as Mistoffelees, I've read that he was an understudy, but I don't think that video exist. Thank you so much!
Oh wait, let me correct myself... Musical Cats: "The Rum Tum Tugger is my gay boyfriend" 😘 (2019) Movie Cats:... No idea what's going on there but it doesn't look good at all 💀😂
Juliana Rumple I think Lucy Middleton is Rumple on this video. But then again, it could be Barbara King - who was playing Demeter at this tour - understudying.
Barbara's definitely playing Demeter at this time on the tour as it when I first became friends with her in Manchester. She was also first cover Grizz aswel( she was a fab Grizz btw) Rumple here was Lucy, though Barbara had previously played Rumple on the 1st tour & London though.
It's from a TV show at Pebble Mill studios. Four numbers were performed, including the Tugger and the Jellicle Ball (which is uploaded by another UA-cam user). I don't have the other performances unfortunately.
@Laura Martin-Falla Jason didn't do nearly enough. Period. He basically just did his number and disappeared, save for one quick blip during Bustopher's bit.
I'm so curious about the set! Is it that they put most of it up in the TV studio? But left the band open? All for one TV appearance? I love the performance tho, Mungo in the background copying Tugger's hip thrusts.... Do we know who Bomba is?
I think they really put the pieces of the set up in the studio... otherwise, that's really a lot of work for just one performance. Yes, Mungo is funny. And I love his costume. Unfortunately I don't have any more information concerning the cast.
John Patridge is definitely the best Rum Tum Tugger.
caitlinjane92
yes he is the best rum tum tugger in the world
He played Rum Tum Tugger in the DVD version. Did he?
100%
@@mickenziedavis3068 yes he did and that's one reason why the DVD version is good xD
Totally agreed!!!
Damn those lucky bastards who could watch him live.😭😭😭
I saw him as Tugger in Berlin😍😍😍😍
I saw him in London back in 2001
i have a totally healthy love for John Partridge as the Rum Tum Tugger
So do I!
What I love about John Patridge as Rum Tum Tugger is that he puts a lot of swagger into his performance. He certainly embodies Tugger's confidence well. Is it any wonder why he was chosen for the official 1998 adaptation?
He was definitely a favourite of the creative team. No wonder he did Cats on two UK tours, in London and in three German productions.
@@chrissi2810 So, does John Patridge know German, then?
@@oliviaweaver5874 yeah there is a video on UA-cam when he was in a German production
@@oliviaweaver5874 in an interview he said he was fluent in German
@@bibidelafield1946 Just when I thought I couldn't be a bigger fan of him, I learn he knows German. Is there anything he CAN'T do? John Partridge is incredibly amazing!
He is the best Tugger in my opinion. He smashes it!
John Patridge definitely is the best at this role. It's something about his height, physique, the way he moves, and the way he sings makes it perfect!
His face at the end like "damn I know I'm the best"
Not just at the end, during the whole song!
John Partridge was born to play Tugger!

John partridge is the perfect rum tum tugger

Same actor from the 1998 DVD!
I loved the part where he blew a kiss at Electra! That really stole my heart!
He's already perfect on the 98 recording bit he's even better live!
I love Partridge's Tugger! He just pulls it off masterfully!
John Partridge is the best at Rum Tum Tugger. He exudes this rock star charm that I just love. Everyone else who plays RTT comes off like a closeted homosexual, which is ironic because John Partridge is himself a gay man and he is super masculine in the role.
that "meow" at the end was the best part
Fun fact the guy who plays Misto in this version played Tumblebrutus in the '98 version
100% the best Rum Tum Tugger, no question.
Oh my, this is amazing!!
Fergus makes an adorable Misto!!
Adored this performance of Tugger!!
Plus Cori and Tanti in the background was so cute!! (along with Pounce, Mungo and Misto trying to imitate Tugger in the back)
And have a look at Electra. Isn't she adorable? ;)
(and I'm sure Fergus would have been a much better choice as Misto on the film version)
mortifer | chrissi2810 I do love Fergus but I also adore Jacob :)
And Cori catches her as she swoons over Tugger and he looks at her like, "Sis, chill."
John Patridge played his part of Tugger when I saw CATS during my first trip to London several years ago, loved it ^^
0:42 Oh I knew they were meant to be together
매실이 is cute
no matter how many live performances i have seen i always come back to see john partridge’s rum tum tugger

Man, John is the definitive Tugger. He is just as good live as he was in the movie.
no one will ever top john

John ist und bleibt für mich einer der Besten Tugger :-)
In Zukunft werde ich jedes Einzelbild so vergrößern, dass am Ende ein HD-Video rauskommt ;)
John hat die Rolle wohl wie kaum ein zweiter geprägt. :-)
chrissi2810
Da möchte ich aber auch drum bitten *grins* ;-)
Ja - hat er :) Einer der wenigen Gründe, warum ich die DVD hin und wieder schaue :)
Ich schau die DVD nie, da schau ich mir lieber Videos wie dieses an :D Wenn ja nur irgendwie mal das Video der Derniere in London auftauchen würde.....:/

He's still great but I feel like this one is more fast-paced then I don't now when he sang the song in the 1998 film
Rum Tum tugger Ouch he’s cute

I assumed that John created the Tugger x Misto ship, along with Jacob and Fergus
No the original misto shipped tugger and misto
@@anotheranimeweebfellas4582 Jacob Brent?
@@crazycatzg3481 You do realise Cats is 39 years old? Jacob Brent was not the original LOL. The original guy who played Misto shipped Misto and RTT.
This Is Funny 3:24
There isn't anyone Who can do rum Tum Tugger of Is not John Patridgeeeee (Sorry x the grammar i'm italian🇮🇹)
The music was way to fast slow it down a little!
Emily Tolman sounds even catchier when it’s a bit faster
Ia normal I fell in love with a cat?
This isn’t even his best performance!

@@chrissi2810 thank you for letting me know!!
John Partridge is the BEST Rum-Tum-Tugger!!! Jason Derulo is going to have a tough act to follow.
@Laura Martin-Falla Jason didn't do nearly enough. Period. He basically just did his number and disappeared, save for one quick blip during Bustopher's bit.
I'm so curious about the set! Is it that they put most of it up in the TV studio? But left the band open? All for one TV appearance?
I love the performance tho, Mungo in the background copying Tugger's hip thrusts.... Do we know who Bomba is?
I think they really put the pieces of the set up in the studio... otherwise, that's really a lot of work for just one performance.
Yes, Mungo is funny. And I love his costume. Unfortunately I don't have any more information concerning the cast.
Bombarlurina is Jacqui Boatswain if memory serves me correctly Belle. :-)
Yep, that's Jacqui.
mungo was simon david trout, a great mungo, really cheeky looking too. :-)
Hi tugger
weißt du zufällig wer bombalurina spielt? die finde.ich nämlich richtig gut besetzt
Jacqui Boatswain spielt Bombalurina.

Isn't he also playing as Rum Tum Tugger in CATS the film ?
Mlp Brony94best Yes, he played Tugger in London, on the UK tour, in the film and in Germany
Jonique'a Smith:Hi tugger you're kinda cute.👋😏💖💖💖💖
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that Femi Taylor as Bombalurina?
That's Jacqui Boatswain.
@@chrissi2810 Okay, thank you! I couldn't be sure
Was that actually John partridge in 1995 there
