The moments of happiness
We had the experience but missed the meaning
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a different form beyond any meaning

About:
Based on T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the show is set amongst a larger- than-life junkyard playground and is alive with our favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year - the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
A clown got yeeted through a galaxy cause he fumbled this song. 💀

Back on Broadway yet again
Man, Peanut did pretty well for himself
The planet SPINS around "Moments of Happiness"
@@Hey-Its-Dingo AND YOU FUMBLED IT
You were supposed to be old duet!
@@carsonandrews8857 I AM Old Deut, I swear!
@@Hey-Its-Dingo NOT ANYMORE.
Bet Steve coulda killed this on his second try.
I'm sure it would be amazing for steve to sing this whole as a redeeming finale
We should have faith in Steve, for he is once again back on broadway
"This entire planet. ***SPINS*** on moments of happiness. And you ruined it"!
*fumbled
You're supposed to be Old Deut!
I am old deut I sware to you!
@@Fernanimati0n NOT ANYMORE!
@@jellofangy1412Your understudy, PEANUT, is now Old Deut!
Back on broadway yet again
*takes one philosophy class*:
Hahahaha
*LOL*
😭 😭
Back on broadway, yet again…
Somehow Steve fumbled this moment and was thus banished
And left peanut behind
Reminder to everyone that our existence was the result of a clown failing to perform this number
Smash
@@marin8294WHAT ARE YOU TALKINH ABOUT
*back on broadway yet again*
Note how the camera first focusses on mistoffelees (adolescent) , then on munkustrap(adult) and lastly on deuteronomy(elderly) when the phrase 'many generations' is said at 0:58. Just something I noticed :D
Wow, that is excellent attention to detail! I never EVER noticed that!
Wow. Superb!
Sing, my angel of music
I think you took a wrong turn. XD
@@DarthSinistris well obviously not, Phantom is just as good as cats!
(Maybe even better oop)
@@katesszz I dare say superior
@@harrisonmcarthur7816 Exactly 👀
It's funny because the same person who wrote the music to Cats wrote the musical of Phantom of the opera
jemima is my favorite of the female cats, shes kind of underrated
isn't she the cutest?
I agree
Always thought she was cute as a button 💗
I love Etcétera. It has almost no solo verse, but whenever it appears you look at her for her crazy way of acting.
If it is not well written this is that I have used Google Translate, sorry
She's gorgeous and her voice is like👏an👏angel's!!
@@thegraceuhler But it isn't the voice of the actor you see. Jemima is played by Veerle Casteleyn, but the voice you hear belongs to Helen Massey. Veerle had a very noticable accent so she was overdubbed with Helens voice.
Coming from Bigtop Burger to see what the hype is all about.
Been training for this since I was a little clown
After class I would like ask for a bowl of soup
Competition is fierce.
@@niklasl3880some clowns train their whole life to ve Old Deutoronomy
Back on Broadway once again
I knew bugtop burger fans would be here
The planet SPINS around moments of happiness
And you FUMBLED it!
Take my lunch,
Lose my lunch,
It's a shaky start.
I'm Old Deut,
Now he's Old Deut,
I lost the part.
Jemima's actress (in the film) has one of the most beautiful singing voices I've ever heard in musicals/plays... I remember when I was a kid watching this for the first (and millionth) time and her voice just filled me with thrill and warmth.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Veerle Casteleyn's (Jemima) voice was dubbed by a singer named Helen Massey. It's still a beautiful voice.
Veerle Casteleyn's voice is wonderfull too, she just sounded too Dutch for an international film. By now her accent is far less, but Hellen Massey's voice is amazing too of course .
SoniKZooM my name's Jemima I love her so much heh
I wonder why she has a spiked caller
Same here she was my favorite cat
The planet SPINS on Moments of Happiness
back on broadway once again
steve moment
i still think to this day that demeter is jemima's mother. demeter and bomba are grizabella's daughters. and that's why jemima was the first one to reach out to grizabella, because she's her granddaughter.
Wtf how do you know that? Is there a family three somewhere?
@@blattsee6095 As far as I know, nothing official. But people like picking up on little bits of behaviour, or costume design. Though I think it is canon that Rum Tum Tugger and Munkustrap are Old Deuteronomy's children? I have no source but it seems almost universally accepted
I'm sure that Jemima is Bomba's daughter
Carmen A. there's no actual canon family tree, so anything is up for interpretation :)
I like to think that Munkustrap is the step/father of Jemima, and mate of Demeter. Jemima's biological father (if we're going along with the stepdad option), is most probable to be Macavity, as it's canon that Deme and him had an extremely abusive relationship. You know what I mean. Anyways, I love your theory! :D

Just here for bigtop burger! 😅😅😅
I think that's our boss, y'know... Steve?
That's impossible...
@@DarkLink1996. hellooooooooooooooo
@@Strobeliite Misses clown
Between you and me Peggy, I smoked this juul and it did UNTHINKABLE things to my mind and body.
You lost the moment you entered these woods!
BigTop Burgers anyone
Steve could never
Smash
But peanut could
Peanut is doing well for being once an understudy.
Good for him.
That Blender juul did unspeakable things to Steve’s body and mind
Steve really outdid himself in this role
Jemima sings like an angel. She is favorite cats in the movie. She is beautiful.
Jemima is so cute. She's one of my favorite cats in the show. She reminds me of my own cat. Although, my cat looks more like Munkustrap.
1:41 One of the most beautiful voices that I‘ve ever heard!
Beautifullest ?(is not a word). It's just beautiful, love 😂
Sorry, english is not my first language. @@halfdeadminah5857
@@lenastorm6280 That's okay. I was joking around.😉👌
@@halfdeadminah5857
Beautifullest sounds like a good slang word!
Alonzo and Cassandra’s eyes are the most gorgeous eyes I’ve ever seen
man alonzo has eyelashes for DAYS
Chills every time jemima does her solo
(Sorry if I spelled her name rong)
Storm Klohe spelled right
don't worry. it's correct.
“Back on Broadway yet again..” -Steve from Bigtop Burger
1:30
THIS IS YOUR DAILY ET CETERA APPRECIATION!!
“Back on broadway yet again...”
the mOOOOments of hAppines-
Steve is the cat of the moments of happines???
Respect your elders, kittens.
Especially when your elder is basically your reality's version of Mufasa.
The Real Stingy you stole that comment !
Well they are both cats
Bigtop burger be like:
That shot of Munkustrap at 1:00 is obscenely gorgeous.
Anyone else feel like Coricopat and Tantomile are in a trance and using Jemima as a vocal piece they show Grizabella's memory in the song... it would explain why the three of them also 'faint' after Jemima is done singing, and also why Jemima would sing in that certain tune
Canonically, they are apparently channelling Old Deuteronomy's message to Jemima, so she can convey the message to the other cats in a way that is easier for them to understand than what he sang himself. Or something like that. So yes, they are in a trance and collapse from the effort momentarily, just for a different reason than what you said. Old D would know the song too since Grizabella sang it while he was listening.
When I was young and saw this, what they were doing really confused me (although I still loved it), so I looked it up and found out that the Tantomile and Coricopat are just actual psychics and not just cliche twins doing everything the same time. I rewatch the whole thing after that looking only at what they do and started seeing other parts where it's demonstrated. Like how the other cats look for their confirmation if old D is really coming or not, before starting to celebrate.
@@Traveller281 Oh, they were channeling the message itself to her? I always interpreted it as Jemima/Sillabub immediately understood Old Deuteronomy and Cori and Tanto telepathically asked her to rephrase, rather than helping her understand.
This song is deep man. Puts the thought of getting older in perspective. Can't help but get goosebumps every time I hear it.
Why Deuteronomy should be a male... I'm sorry (I love Judy Dench)... but the depth of tone seals it on this one.
What? 😂 Sorry... Don't know what u meant.....
Bisexual Rum Tum Tugger Girl they said that Deuteronomy as a male has a better fitting tone than that of the female one played by Judy Dench. I agree to be honest, it’s more fitting. But I could be bias towards the original
@@superIBM1231 oh okay
Right oh lord! They should’ve brought her up an octave or something to help her
I did not like that spoken word poetry nonsense in The Ad-Dressing Of Cats like why
Here because of Big Top Burger
Could I uh interest you in this cowboy hat, lunchbox, and amazing backpack
To me this is when all the cats realize just how badly they are treating Grizabella.
3:05 Such a beautiful moment... kudos to the orchestra.
Thank you for validating this. Gives me chills every time.
The moments of happiness...
We had the experience but missed the meaning
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a different form, beyond any meaning
We can assign to happiness...
The past experience revived in the meaning
Is not the experience of one life only
But of many generations - not forgetting
Something that is probably quite ineffable
Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight
Let your memory lead you
Open up, enter in
If you find there the meaning of what happiness is
Then a new life will begin
Back on broadway, yet again...
Love love LOVE Jemima/Sillabub. I'm going to be auditioning to play her in a community theatre production of Cats!!
“Just between you and me... I smoked this juul and it did unthinkable things to my mind and body”
I'm old deut
Now he's old deut
I've lost the part
Back in Broadway yet again
isn't that Grizabella on top of the car , while Jemima is singing . just curious
I didn’t notice her! Yes it is!
Moonlight, turn your face to the moonlight.
Spine chilled, eyes wet.
1:41 started crying like a baby ;_;
Why is no one talking about the beauty of Ken Page's voice? His is easily on par with Helen Massey's
Ken Page is a true master. Helen kills her role but arguably Ken's is one of the hardest in the show, up there with Grizabella. Songs like this are very far up north in the tenor range so Ken's really flexing in this piece, but everyone wants to praise Jemima. like ok she did a good job.
but behold this man's heavenly pipes!!
Ken Page also voiced Oogie Boogie from Nightmare. he's a genuinely immensely talented vocalist with tons of chops!
0:32 When Plato crosses his paws or whatever... so cute.
Can I just say that I love this angle at 0:59. It's just so beautiful. Also, at 1:04, you can hear Skimbleshanks' theme/leitmotif.
Jemima's voice is so amazing, it's unreal. You can hear it through all the other cats voices, and the effect is breathtaking. So beautiful
"Back on Broadway yet again."
Grizabella: First they cast me out, now they're ripping off my song.
At 2:52 till the end i allways tearing up. One of the most beautiful melody i've ever heard in my life orchestrated in such a beautiful way
thank you, steve.
I love Jemima her voice is just so beautiful I wish I could play her in a production.
"Back on Broadway yet again..."
"Between you and me, I smoked this Juul and it did unthinkable things to my mind and B O D Y"
- Steve, Bigtop Burger: Kid
"Heelloooo Mrs. Clown. May have a bowl of soup?"
Jemima and Victoria are my favorite female cats, Jemima's voice is so beautiful and her face is so deeply expressive 😍😍
I'm Ol' Doot, I swear to you..
NOT ANYMORE!
your understudy, peanut, IS NOW OLD DEUT
Im sorry man
N-no...but what's to become of me?
BANISHMENT
3:03
I know that flashy red thing in the lower right corner is a camera, but I like to pretend that it's Rumpus Cat's eyes and Bustopher Jones is lifting him up for a better view. They're my favorite cats, and it makes me feel more confident to think that they were here at this point. (And also that Bustopher is getting a workout by lifting heavy Rumpus!)
Back in broadway yet again
1:29 So cat-like. Also, no one (so I've seen) has said anything about the beauty of the chorus part towards the end.
Oh my god Jemima is beautiful. And yes, I know it isn't her voice.
Watchu mean wallis
@@raptirboy180 The actor who plays Jemima is dutch. Her accent was to strong for the production so her parts are sung by a british actor and then dubbed over.
@@darkiee69 i refuse to believe this🤯😵😨😖
@@hsimmons7334 Google it. You see Veerle Casteleyn But you hear Helen Massey.
Here's Veerle singing, not the same voice.
@@darkiee69 either way i refuse to believe it
Okay, so just to be clear, we're all rooting for Grizabella at this point, right?
Dayanara Jasmine it’s a tie between Gus and Grizzabella for me
yep
im pretty shure theres enouth room in the death boat for two passengers innit
@@kennedyaverett7907 which one is gus?
Forget my dumb question
This sequence gets me every time... it's just so beautiful. This is why I love CATS. It quite simply has it all for me.
Awww 1:30 Etcetera is so cute when she relax and she a little bit sad looking and looks like a real cat and she must be thinking of your big love Rum tum tugger because she is missing him...so cute!!!! 😍😳🥺😭 I hug she a little bit now so cute...😘🤭🤗🐈❤️
Back on broadway yet again.
- Inserts cat clown and cylinder-shaped Juul -
Back on Broadway yet again….🤡🥲
I understood why the world SPINS on "Moments of Happiness"
Jemima is so CUTE! Her voice is so cute as well!
This needs to be released on blu ray
I have it on Blu-ray.
Mario Mario oh shit, srsly???
@@DarthSinistris yes get it on Amazon
Tristan Tries if it’s anything like the dvd version, the quality will be awful watching it on a modern tv.
@Tristan Tries This question is 3 months old, and i'm still waiting for a response.
Jemima's voice is so beautiful
2:31 I can’t believe I never noticed neither Grizabella a bit above Mr nor Rum Tum on Old D left side.
I should REALLY pause the show more often when they show a wideshot. The DETAILS in this man!
A fun part of watching these songs is the game of “where is Rum Tum Tugger” lol he’s just always tucked away in a corner
@@noisyninja3479 ive started playing that game lol I never noticed he was in this song or Skimbleshanks but then I realized he was just blending in with the background really well
gus shows up and i know i’m about to cry some more
1:41-2:18 If I have 2 hear that kitten sing 1 more time, I swear I'm gonna collapse.
Brittany Martin A wild “Memory reprise” appears!
Xantron Did you walk out?
@Xantron I was disappointed at it ;-;
Ah, back on broadway again...
Man, this really reminds me of a time my boss who owns a food truck, became larger and turned into a child requesting a bowl of soup after smoking a juul that did unthinkable things to his mind and body.
don't phone the fire department Q_Q
@@julija8472 on broadway yet again…
I’m playing Jemima in a local production of Cats and I cannot be more excited! ❤🐱
When pandemic goes away, this is the first thing I will see in Broadway!
_steve intensifies_
This is my second favorite song the first one being memory and the thread being the rum tum tugger. Lol this song just made me cry now
2:55: I believe that’s Grizabella on the car on the right
it is
2:44 is that grizabella on the car??
yes it is
Ken Page, legend
I can't understand the movie, but her singing has my meart crying.
Steve brought me here
Every time I hear Jemima’s voice I start crying but it’s not a sad cry, it’s a happy cry that I get to hear her voice! I’m so grateful I got to play her in at my school and my acting place I used to go to, it was a great experience.
Jemima was my favorite character as a kid and she will always be. And i really really love her voice, it's just so beautiful💙
