Throughout the summer, we are working with the Fulton Theatre to bring you a series of episodes with the cast and creative team from their new amusement park production of CATS.
" I'm having so much fun. It's silly. It's great. And I love the fact that he turned it into a Shakespearian moment." This episode features James Patterson who plays Bustopher Jones & Gus in this production. Hear James share his extensive history with the show, his experiences playing multiple roles, and the unique elements that regional productions bring to this long-running musical. The conversation also delves into the rich storytelling and character development that CATS allows over a performer's career, the interpretation of various characters, and humorous backstage anecdotes. Don't miss this behind-the-scenes look at one of theater's most beloved and enduring shows.
