Touring Company Of Cats Prepares For Yet Another Day In The Goddamn Catsuits

ST. LOUIS–Members of the national touring company of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats steeled themselves Monday for yet another day in the goddamn catsuits. “One of these days, my agent is going to land me a TV or movie role and get me out of this living nightmare,” said Jonathan Belinsky, gluing whiskers onto his face and wriggling into a fur-covered bodysuit for his role as Mr. Mistoffolees. “I can’t take much more of this.” Stephanie Watrous, who has played Jennyanydots for eight agonizing years, said, “Each day, I pray for sweet release from the hideous quasi-feline mockery that my life has become. Where are we today? Spokane?” Six suicides have plagued the touring company in the past year, with three of them occurring during performances of the song “Memory.”
