This is a report on Cats by Shiki Theater Company, which was performed in Nagoya on April 28, 2024.
At Shiki Theater Company's Cats performances, Tugger always performs some kind of performance after the performance, and then concludes with a performance. The performance is different every time, which is part of the fun of watching Cats.
On this day, Tugger, played by Masaru Kitamura, was performing as usual, when a little girl sitting somewhere yelled, "Mommy!! That person is so cool!!"
To my surprise, Tugger was taken aback for a moment before he hid his face in one hand and smiled shyly.
And he was surrounded by warm applause from the theater audience.
The number of people who were captivated by Tugger, played by Kitamura, must have increased that day. I'm one of them.
