4.4 CATS!
Manage episode 356289869 series 2919234
Peterskins & Grumblethaniel (Peter & Nathan) ascend to the Heaviside Layer for a close theological reading of one of the strangest, silliest, and most sensational mega-musicals ever to tread the boards: the much-beloved and much-reviled 1981 spectacle that is CATS.
________________________________
We talk about:
– Names (cats & humans!) – the names that culture and society give us, and the ineffable name that is known only to God.
– Are the cats the Seven Deadly Sins? – and whether or not this is a morality play (...it might just be a show about cats)
– The power of memory and finding meaning in moments of happiness (and the deeply theological question: “does the right cat die?”)
________________________________
You’ll hear Betty Buckley, Ken Page, Terrance Mann, and the cast of the 1983 Broadway Cast Recording.
