Week Two Poll Results: CATS

Cats won the 2nd weekly poll by the slimmest of margins with 28% of the vote. Miss Saigon followed with 23% and Carousel received 19%. Godspell and Guys and Dolls each took 9%, Hello Dolly and Gypsy each took 4%, and Sweeney Todd finished last with zero votes.

Here are some of my casting ideas for this nonexistent upcoming revival of Cats...some are funny ideas but some are actually serious.

Old Deuteronomy-Harvey Fierstein (I just want to hear that voice singing those crazy lyrics)
Grizabella-Stephanie J Block (she recently played the role at the MUNY in St. Louis and was breathtaking)
The Rum Tum Tugger-Jonathan Groff (because he is a rock star and we love him from Glee)
Macavity-Aaron Tveit (we loved him in Next to Normal and he is just so cute)
Skimbleshanks-Wesley Taylor (we loved him in Rock of Ages and he is just precious)
Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer-My partner cartwheeling friend and myself
