ABOUT THE MUSICAL
An original satire of Broadway’s “best loved” feline musical, this time with even less plot, tighter leotards and one throbbing mystical sword! ~ThunderCATS HO!!~

The plot? The Thunderians, fleeing the destruction of their home planet, have landed on planet Thundera and await the ghost of their fallen leader Jaga The Wise to find out which ThunderCAT character will return to the ThunderCAT Lair. Through obscene hip thrusting and way too much dancing they learn what it really means to be a Thunder CAT.

ThunderCATS is a parody of CATS The Musical using the characters of the 80’s Cartoon Thundercats. It follows the same scene structure and narrative of CATS The Musical. We suggest watching CATS the musical first before attempting to understand how stupidly pointless this show is. The show is fully sung, so although there is a loose narrative it is primarily made up of character songs and there is almost no dialogue aside from a few moments of direct address.
