Speaker 4: speak to you because a friend of the shows.

14
00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:48,284
Speaker 3: You're in the bosom, of course.

15
00:00:48,764 --> 00:00:51,364
Speaker 1: Because I read the Beyonce when she trains to go

16
00:00:51,444 --> 00:00:54,324
Speaker 1: on stage she runs on a treadmill singing to keep

17
00:00:54,404 --> 00:00:56,964
Speaker 1: up her fitness and things. And then you hear that

18
00:00:57,004 --> 00:00:59,724
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey has to sleep with Humidi fires and things

19
00:00:59,764 --> 00:01:01,684
Speaker 1: like that. Do you have to have a regime because

20
00:01:01,684 --> 00:01:03,484
Speaker 1: you're in for a long run, you must have to

21
00:01:03,484 --> 00:01:04,284
Speaker 1: look after yourself?

22
00:01:04,324 --> 00:01:06,444
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well we do. Yeah, regular maintenance.

23
00:01:06,524 --> 00:01:10,444
Speaker 4: As I get older, I've got regular sports, sage and

24
00:01:10,884 --> 00:01:14,004
Speaker 4: a regular osteo E. I do it every week actually,

25
00:01:14,044 --> 00:01:15,724
Speaker 4: because I'm crawling around on my hands and knees in

26
00:01:15,844 --> 00:01:17,324
Speaker 4: lycra which is.

27
00:01:17,484 --> 00:01:19,643
Speaker 3: Again, And what about the show? What about the show

28
00:01:19,764 --> 00:01:21,124
Speaker 3: Cats during the day.

29
00:01:22,164 --> 00:01:26,484
Speaker 1: Cats the film was rightfully laughed off the cinema screen.

30
00:01:26,524 --> 00:01:28,203
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it, but Cats the

31
00:01:28,284 --> 00:01:30,684
Speaker 1: Musical has a very special place in our hearts, doesn't

32
00:01:30,684 --> 00:01:31,003
Speaker 1: it does.

33
00:01:31,044 --> 00:01:33,604
Speaker 4: It's like a nostalgic piece now because it's been around.

34
00:01:33,644 --> 00:01:37,964
Speaker 4: We've just celebrated forty years. We celebrated with the original cast. Actually,

35
00:01:38,044 --> 00:01:42,563
Speaker 4: so we opened exactly forty years after the original in

36
00:01:42,604 --> 00:01:45,283
Speaker 4: the same theater, the Theater Royal, and we had this

37
00:01:45,364 --> 00:01:47,764
Speaker 4: massive celebration. But there's a reason for it. It's a

38
00:01:47,764 --> 00:01:51,163
Speaker 4: magical show. It seems to be the show that people

39
00:01:51,204 --> 00:01:54,644
Speaker 4: love to sort of, you know, put shit on. Really,

40
00:01:54,924 --> 00:01:56,884
Speaker 4: but people, for some reason, I think with Andrew Lloyd

41
00:01:56,924 --> 00:01:58,604
Speaker 4: Webber shows like to kind of diss them.

42
00:01:58,644 --> 00:02:01,324
Speaker 3: And I don't know. I think this has got legs

43
00:02:02,164 --> 00:02:06,444
Speaker 3: and I don't know why that makes you play in it.

44
00:02:06,524 --> 00:02:09,163
Speaker 4: I play the fat cat in act one, which is

45
00:02:09,244 --> 00:02:11,804
Speaker 4: buster for Jones, who is the aristocratic fat cat with

46
00:02:11,884 --> 00:02:14,284
Speaker 4: a monocle. And then in the second act I played

47
00:02:14,324 --> 00:02:17,404
Speaker 4: the geriatric, broken down, old theater cat who just wants

48
00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:18,804
Speaker 4: to talk about his life and time.

49
00:02:18,923 --> 00:02:20,604
Speaker 2: So you switch roles. In the old days, do they

50
00:02:20,684 --> 00:02:23,083
Speaker 2: used to have because these days it's lean time, so

51
00:02:23,124 --> 00:02:26,004
Speaker 2: you have to They did have two different characters playing,

52
00:02:26,043 --> 00:02:29,004
Speaker 2: because now in the future will just be one person

53
00:02:29,163 --> 00:02:30,284
Speaker 2: you doing every cat.

54
00:02:30,363 --> 00:02:34,404
Speaker 3: Well, that's it, and that's right in the third act.

55
00:02:34,483 --> 00:02:35,924
Speaker 1: You sit on the window sill on mix yourself.

56
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:38,244
Speaker 3: I did that at interval.

57
00:02:38,644 --> 00:02:40,884
Speaker 2: And you're not on hard times because I saw on

58
00:02:41,004 --> 00:02:44,084
Speaker 2: Instagram you're selling furniture. You're selling a lounge.

59
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:47,164
Speaker 3: I'm selling a loue. You're still selling it. No, no, no,

60
00:02:47,204 --> 00:02:49,764
Speaker 3: I found a buyer for it. I bought a lounge.

61
00:02:49,803 --> 00:02:54,323
Speaker 4: I bought it from the furniture warehouse YEP, where everything

62
00:02:54,404 --> 00:02:58,804
Speaker 4: looks small because you've got nineteen foot ceilings, and so

63
00:02:58,844 --> 00:03:01,604
Speaker 4: I bought it without really having spent much time in

64
00:03:01,644 --> 00:03:04,043
Speaker 4: my new place. And then it arrived and it takes

65
00:03:04,124 --> 00:03:06,924
Speaker 4: up the whole place. So I had to try and

66
00:03:06,923 --> 00:03:08,284
Speaker 4: get rid of it. But I decided to go for

67
00:03:08,324 --> 00:03:11,804
Speaker 4: a novelty color. I went for a ming blue, which

68
00:03:11,844 --> 00:03:12,484
Speaker 4: nobody wants.

69
00:03:13,163 --> 00:03:14,924
Speaker 2: So you managed to offload it.

70
00:03:15,004 --> 00:03:15,124
Speaker 4: Now.

71
00:03:15,363 --> 00:03:17,524
Speaker 3: I gave it away for free lady who is having

72
00:03:17,603 --> 00:03:18,284
Speaker 3: hard time.

73
00:03:18,404 --> 00:03:19,404
Speaker 1: And she's color blind.

74
00:03:20,404 --> 00:03:25,124
Speaker 3: Color come with a mottoman yeah me on man's and knees.

75
00:03:25,124 --> 00:03:27,763
Speaker 3: In likera, you put your coffee on.

76
00:03:27,724 --> 00:03:31,244
Speaker 1: My back to go from talking about cats to dogs.

77
00:03:31,324 --> 00:03:35,324
Speaker 1: I know that greyhound adoption is something that's very close

78
00:03:35,363 --> 00:03:36,004
Speaker 1: to your heart.

79
00:03:36,884 --> 00:03:41,244
Speaker 3: How are your dogs going dead? Thanks for bringing that up.

82
00:03:52,324 --> 00:03:55,564
Speaker 4: left Nancy Hayes' name was. I left her here because

83
00:03:55,604 --> 00:03:57,844

84
00:03:57,884 --> 00:04:01,084
Speaker 4: dog walker who had another greyhound, and so I left

85
00:04:01,084 --> 00:04:05,964
Speaker 4: her rather than travel her. And Hayes is an actor.

86
00:04:06,803 --> 00:04:09,204

87
00:04:09,204 --> 00:04:11,564

00:04:15,604 --> 00:04:17,724
