[0:16] Mike Abrams: Welcome to The Wrong Cat Died, the podcast breakdown of the Catastrophe. I'm your host, Mike Abrams, and today we have another amazing guest. She's been in a handful of Cats productions, including as a Swing in the Vienna Revival, as Tantamile on the Asia Tour, and then most recently was a Swing and the Assistant Dance Captain on the International Tour. So welcome, Meghan Peploe-Williams, and thank you for joining me.

[0:36] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Thank you for having me.

[0:38] Mike Abrams: I'm excited to have you because you just told me there's also another production to add in there from University, so we'll get there. But I always like to start before, so let's even say before the University production, your introduction to Cats. Was it something you were obsessed with growing up or what?

[0:55] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It was. I feel like I'm one of those people where it's like, it was the show I wanted to do from when I was a kid. It was the first, I mean, it's kind of like the first thing I remember of musical theatre. We were at, because my mum was a performer back in the day, so we were at her friend's house. I don't think he was very good with kids, so he shoved me and my little sister in his cinema room and put the VHS on of Cats. And literally like the first, obviously the White Cat solo is in the first like, what, 10 minutes? Watch that. And I literally remember being like, mouth open, like aghast. My little sister didn't care. She was like running around like, and I ran out to my mum and I was like, Mum, just watch this go and I'm going to be the White Cat when I'm older. And she's like, oh, that's nice. And so it was just, it's just always, it was always the show I wanted to do. It was, yeah. And then I did it and it was dream, dream come true.

[1:53] Mike Abrams: I love it. It's a, you're, you know, I've heard versions of like people that in school that they bring out the TV when the substitute teacher's on. You had a friend who's like, no, I'm not, I'm not dealing with these children.

[2:05] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Yeah, we're not dealing with the kids.

[2:07] Mike Abrams: And then they pick, how do they pick Cats? Like, how does that, the choice?

[2:12] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Who knows? Maybe they just thought, oh, this, you know, children, cats, they'll like this musical.

[2:18] Mike Abrams: Yeah. And how old were you at this time? Was it like really young?

[2:21] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Seven.

[2:22] Mike Abrams: Wow. And then, okay, so fast forward then and you're in university and you get the notice that they're going to do Cats, right? Like, what is that for you then? Is that like pure excitement? And like, did, were your friends also like, oh, we got to do Cats? Like, was it a mixed crowd?

[2:38] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It was massively mixed because my year, you know, we all have different abilities and capabilities in dance. And so when they announced that Cats was going to be one of our third year shows, it was so like Marmite. People were either like me, like, oh my God, this is the best thing in the world. Or people were like, oh, okay, sure. However, I just think because it's such a special show and Chrissy is so amazing at just like enticing you into that world, everyone by the end was like, this is really special.

[3:14] Mike Abrams: Yeah, it does feel like, you know, I've always compared it to a little bit like some, there's almost a hazing that you get in some like fraternities and sororities in the US where it's like you bond over the, what you're doing together.

[3:28] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Oh my God, 100%.

[3:29] Mike Abrams: And whether you kind of at times maybe love it or hate it. And I feel like Cats has a little bit of that because it's, it's so physically demanding. You get so close to each other, like literally close to each other on stage that you become a family. And I think people who've performed in the show have a different level of appreciation for it than others.

[3:47] Meghan Peploe-Williams: 100%. And I think like as well for us, it was also during like COVID times or like it was coming like out of the end of COVID. So like a lot of our, or the second half of our second year and our third year was like massively disrupted. And I think we were just so grateful that we got the opportunity to like be on stage as a year and do something that was like so amazing. And you're right, like we did really bond over it because we were like, oh my God, this is so hard.

[4:22] Mike Abrams: Yeah. Cats is the opposite of social distancing. Like you are on top of each other.

[4:28] Meghan Peploe-Williams: And we had to literally like, because we were coming out of the end, like we were in like a bubble. So it was only like our group that we were allowed to, and we were doing all the rehearsals in masks as well. So imagine doing the fricking Jellicle ball with a mask on. Then when I did it afterwards in Vienna and did it for the first time, I was like, oh, I can breathe.

[4:55] Mike Abrams: Yeah. You did like high intensity training there that you were like, oh, this is actually easy compared to what you were practicing.

[5:01] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Literally.

[5:02] Mike Abrams: So you were Victoria.

[5:03] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I was.

[5:04] Mike Abrams: How much did they tell you a Victoria story in that production? Because it's a pretty wild coming of age story to be doing at that point in your life.

[5:14] Meghan Peploe-Williams: For sure. We got the full like sit down circle shebang that, you know, Chrissy does at professional contracts as well. So I fully, it was crazy to have this story after being a fan for so long and loving the show and being like, oh yeah, I think I kind of get it. But like didn't get it at all until we got the sit down story. But it was still amazing to, and I think because I was still in training, Chrissy and Emily were so great at allowing all of us to interpret all the characters and all the characters relationships in our own way as well.

[6:01] Mike Abrams: Yeah. I can't, I just can't even fathom having Chrissy Caray at your, like helping your university production is like in itself, like the legend of all legends there.

[6:11] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It was incredible. And I think in the moment you don't realize how lucky you are. Until then, I was doing other contracts of Cats and obviously Chrissy is like the busiest woman on planet Earth. So she couldn't always be there for the full like rehearsal period. And then you go, well, having her there for every second, we were so lucky.

[6:35] Mike Abrams: Yeah. Crazy. So then fast forward, you're, you're graduated and you go to, you, you get the Vienna contract and this is now a professional contract, but it's in German. Are you, do you speak German? Was this like, nope, this was a, okay, we're going to learn this on the fly. Okay.

[6:54] Meghan Peploe-Williams: And also like, it was crazy. So I got, I hadn't even, so I'd auditioned for the, um, in like the January of that year, I'd auditioned for the, that Europe tour that happened. Um, didn't get it. And then I got this call, my agent randomly called me on like a Friday night. She was like, you're not going to believe, like, we just had a call from Vienna asking if you'll come and be a swing over there. And I was like, sorry, what? Since when is that a thing? And she was like, yeah. But there was no initial conversation about the fact it was in German. And it was only when I arrived in Austria, they were like, okay, so like, you've got your, um, you've got like your German speaking call. And I was like, sorry.

They're like, yeah, yeah. Like, you know, you have to learn how to sing the whole show in German. I was like, oh my God. Like I, I didn't do German at school. I was like, I did Spanish. So for me, this was literally like starting from scratch, but, and I had two weeks of rehearsals. Um, and I was basically on my own. I was meant to have Rhys Batten join me for that period. Cause he'd done the show before and he was coming in to fill in for Korica Pat. And we were both meant to do all the German stuff together. And then he got COVID. So I ended up having to just do it all on my own, all by myself with this amazing woman called Suzanne. And she was amazing and so patient, but when you're just there, like with the music and they're like, no, no, no. I was like, oh my God, I'm going to literally lose my brain.

And it wasn't until I put like movement to like singing that it like clicked because me doing it, like just, you know, sat in my accommodation, like trying to remember it just wasn't, didn't go in. And then yeah, at the moment I put like movement to it, it was crazy. Like it just all clicked into place and I could sing the whole thing. If I don't know if I could sing it now.

[9:12] Mike Abrams: Yeah. Well, I think that's, that was my kind of like, my question is I've, I know a few people I've talked to have come from Broadway to the Vienna when they did it all, you know, in a while ago, then they revived it. You know, the show already, like you've learned it, you did it multiple times. You're, you're now learning it. And it's like, I've, I've listened to the German album. I've got, I've got the vinyls for a couple different languages and then some bootlegs of some other ones that are not vinyls, but I have. And it's like, it's, it's similar. It's still cats, but it's not the same. And like, it is learning. It feels like at times a new show and you're doing this while also swinging. So you're learning, what was it? I think I had, it said four, five different tracks. Yeah. So that's got to be a wild experience.

[9:59] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It was crazy. And they, they're very good about just making sure that any of the solo lines I had as all the cats I was covering were like a hundred percent covered. Like anything that was on my own, that's the ones that they were like really like drilling.

[10:19] Mike Abrams: Yeah. The part where everyone's going to hear it, you got to be right. And then the rest, you're going to just be with the, the, you know, the other cats.

[10:22] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Exactly. Like, I remember them saying to me, they're like, you probably will never get skimball in your, you know, whole time of doing it because it's, it was so fast. It was so fast and it was so like, that I just, I was saying, I maybe got it by like the end of the fourth month, but I was there like maybe sometimes turning my head so that the audience can see that I literally had no idea what was going on. Just mouth along, you know, just get the dance part and make sure you build the train. Right. That's all that matters.

[10:59] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Exactly. Do the choreography, somehow move the mouth, make it look like it.

[11:03] Mike Abrams: Yeah. That's, I mean, there's a couple that I'm like, I'm sure because I've heard the Japanese version too. And there's a couple others where I'm like, I don't know how you learn this. And I, you know, I did an episode recently with someone who was there when they switched the Bungalow Jerry from the British to the, I'll call it American, but between the two. And I'm like, that's a different song. Like it's a whole different song. You've relearned something you've been doing a lot too.

[11:45] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It was kind of weird and there was a couple of us from Vienna that were going to South Korea and it was and my twin was Nathan, Nathan Pierce, Nathan Luke and he we were both in the choir actually and we both just switched and started doing it in German and looked at each other like oh my god we've come in English now. And same for like our twin moments in the opening I think the first time we did it we both just like automatically did it in German so it was just like out of pure habit but it was nice going back and seeing it in English because I think not that I forgot what any I guess when you're just listening to it in German I'm like oh I remember kind of what this bit is in the music in English but obviously I still didn't like understand it I'm just there like in Gustus for example being like oh yeah I think this is the bit that he's talking about like being the fiend of the fell or something do you know what I mean whereas then it was so lovely to like sit there and be like oh I can actually like fully react to this whole thing because I understand what he's singing about.

[13:07] Mike Abrams: Yeah, it's such an interesting point of like you know the music well you know it but there are some character choices you should have based on the lyrics right like a reaction at moments or maybe a look that you're going to give and that's got to be much harder so yeah you bring that back now you're in English and it's just you know your first language yeah you can just naturally react.

[13:26] Meghan Peploe-Williams: 100% whereas like I was having to like look around the stage to make sure that this is like the bit I don't know like in Gustus when like he talks about the kittens and I'm like okay yep this is this bit where I get sad because I'm you know a kitten and whatever so yeah it was nice to just be like I understand this is my language. And so you do the South Korea tour you added assistant dance captain at that point?

[13:49] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Yeah, I did when we so we did South Korea and then we had like maybe a month off and then we did Taiwan for like a month like a little extension and I added assistant dance captain to that portion of the tour.

[14:02] Mike Abrams: So what is the extra responsibilities in the Cats world look like there for you when you add that?

[14:08] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Oh I loved it I think just when you have such a love and a passion for a show that means so much to you the fact that you have the ability to kind of like take care of it and look after it in a way it's just an opportunity that I never took for granted and I never took lightly. For me especially being assistant it's about not stepping on people's toes but obviously you know we've got our resident we've got our dance captain so like we have people that are so capable also know the show so well so it's just kind of like stepping in as and when you're needed in like different scenarios so a lot of the time it was for like cup shows you know helping out being like because I was in that scenario then I was the only girl so then I would be like oh I think like maybe this would make a bit more sense or this would actually be a bit more helpful kind of like using my own experience and in those aspects having done it yeah taking warm up just being someone that people can come to if anything's kind of going wrong and either if I have the ability fix it myself or you know going to our DC or our resident being like something's going on here like can we have a look at it after one month or whatever.

[15:42] Mike Abrams: Yeah and then you so you do Taiwan and then there's how long is the break or is there much of a break before you go to China for the international tour?

[15:46] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Yeah it was a year a full year.

[15:49] Mike Abrams: Okay full year and then different like production company as well so it was kind of like a whole new thing.

[15:52] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Yeah whole new thing yeah okay and you did the whole year of the China tour and then you came back for covering I think right after I after you left after I went to see it.

[16:07] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Yeah we miss each other right probably like a week literally and um okay so you've covered now so you're Victoria in university and then you were I have Cassandra Electra tantamount Victoria in Vienna mm-hmm Cassandra Jemima Jenny that's rumple teaser Victoria in Korea yeah and then Cassandra Demeter Jenny any that's rumple teaser tantamount Victoria in China yeah did you go on for every single one in China?

[16:34] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Yes.

[16:35] Mike Abrams: Okay in oh and in South Korea yes in Vienna the only one I didn't go on for was Victoria but in all the other ones I went on cover every track yeah wow okay um do you have a favorite from what you've covered I'm gonna take Victoria out of it because Victoria obviously was your uh yeah your first one that's fine we can take her out because actually she's now not the favorite.

[17:01] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Oh okay I would say in China oh I don't I think the first one that springs to mind is rumple teaser she's just so fun just fun yeah and like the guys I got to do it with were like the best like we had so much fun like when I got to do it with so Billy Mahoney in South Korea it's like my best friend in the whole entire world so that was like the most special show doing it with your best mate was unbelievable and then Marcus in China 10 out of 10 the most outstanding hard-working human and then Aaron he was first cover and obviously I was first cover rumple so that was also 10 out of 10 Jamie Armour was second cover so I got to do it a couple times with him also 10 out of 10 one of my best so it was just like I guess it was maybe more of a thing of like the people I was doing it with.

[18:12] Mike Abrams: Which of those characters was the most fun to craft like their backstory because like you I know as a swing you don't go and probably as the level depth as you do when you're doing it full time but you have to still embrace kind of the characters three words and what they're doing so did you have any that you were like I love this story and others were like ah this one's kind of tough but it's fun to still do?

[18:29] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I would say Demeter was probably the best in like that aspect because everyone has their own kind of stories with what they think about you know why Demeter has this kind of like pull towards Grizz and why she doesn't you know necessarily like act on it in whatever capacity so I loved like trying to just figure out why she feels the way she does.

[18:45] Mike Abrams: What was your version?

[18:47] Meghan Peploe-Williams: My version was that she knew firsthand that Grizzabella had basically been like taken away by Macavity and she was kind of like under like a bit of a lock and key because Demeter had been there she'd also been that but obviously managed to escape and get back to the tribe whereas Grizzabella was kind of like stuck there and I think that you know even though in my head even though she has these little moments where she obviously comes and tries to see the tribe I was like she's still trapped by Macavity so I think that's why every time she was there she was like oh do I like I know she's suffering I know she's in pain but like if I go to her Macavity is going to show up and then it's the end of the road for me that's why she constantly is like Macavity.

[20:07] Mike Abrams: Yeah I so when I started this podcast I knew nothing about cats and I've now recorded over 200 plus episodes it still blows my mind that one of the few things that is consistent across every production I've ever talked to is Demeter's story and that's so wild to me that like this show that's based around really the tribe and Grizzabella it's like the one the one through line of every production is Demeter's kind of like scariness of Macavity relationship and everything else and that's so strange to me that that's the one thing where everyone's like we're gonna agree on this like everyone else has some other interpretations like I could ask you about your Mungo Jerry rumple teaser are you are you dating are you brother sisters are you best friends like not sure is Bomb and Demeter are they sisters are they friends are they related to Grizzabella like there's always a question mark on every other one but Demeter's story is always the same.

[21:45] Meghan Peploe-Williams: The same and that is wild to me that that's the one that everyone's like we're good we're we're gonna just always do this one the same everyone else you can have some tweaks you know you can make some adjustments but Demeter you're gonna go do Demeter she's that.

[21:58] Mike Abrams: How like what level of depth do you go into when you are as a swing with each of the characters stories when you're kind of going on almost at random at times for different ones?

[22:05] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I mean obviously when you when we're like opening and we're in first kind of stage the rehearsals we all get everyone gets their three words so as a swing I obviously write down everyone's three words so that I can you know make sure that I'm fully aware of like what kind of like encapsulates their character but I don't know I feel like I always try to go as like deeply as I could in the character because then that also just makes it I don't know if real is the right word when we're in a world of cat singing but yeah you know it's like real as possible and yeah and then you know you just feel so much more involved in the world that you know we're creating.

[22:32] Mike Abrams: Did each production have a slightly different variance of the backstories and characters like did you I mean it's the same show on all three different language I guess for one of them but you know you have different cast mates and different friends and different people did you make those adjustments like was it was it different depending on who you're performing with and who you're performing with or was it kind of the same thing through all three tours?

[22:55] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I would actually say it was a bit different per shirt like per contract because I loved it when when we would sit down and people you know we would have a conversation so like who we think we are to people and obviously like like Gavin Eden for example like Gavin has very specific ways that he sees Skimbleshanks and how he you know has different relationships with people and that is very different to then maybe how our Skimbleshanks when I was at university like saw his Skimbleshanks so like it does.

[23:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think the biggest challenge was just the language barrier. I mean, I had to learn a lot of the choreography and the staging in a different language, and that was quite difficult. But I think once you get the hang of it, you just kind of go with it.

[23:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I remember one specific moment where I was performing in Vienna, and I had to sing in German. It was a completely different experience, but it was also really rewarding to connect with the audience in that way.

[24:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: The cultural differences also played a role in how the show was received. In some places, the audience was really enthusiastic, while in others, they were more reserved.

[24:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think that’s what makes performing in different countries so exciting. You get to see how the same show can resonate differently with various audiences.

[24:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: My role as a swing also meant that I had to be ready to step into different parts at a moment's notice, which kept me on my toes.

[25:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I loved being able to explore different characters and bring my own interpretation to them. Each role has its own unique challenges and rewards.

[25:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: One of my favorite roles was actually in the Vienna Revival. I got to play a character that I had never played before, and it was such a joy to dive into that.

[25:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: The energy of the cast was incredible, and we all supported each other through the challenges of performing in a foreign language.

[26:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think that camaraderie is what makes the experience so special. We all share a love for the show, and that brings us together.

[26:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: There were definitely some memorable moments on stage. I remember one performance where we had a technical glitch, and we all had to improvise.

[26:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It was a bit nerve-wracking, but it also brought us closer as a cast. We had to rely on each other to keep the show going.

[27:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Those moments are what you remember the most, the times when you have to think on your feet and adapt to the situation.

[27:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I also had some amazing interactions with the audience. There was one night where a little girl dressed as a cat came to see the show, and it just melted my heart.

[27:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It’s those connections that remind you why you love performing.

[28:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think the passion for the show really shines through when you’re on stage. You can feel the energy from the audience, and it fuels your performance.

[28:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’ve been fortunate to be part of multiple productions, and each one has taught me something new.

[28:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think that’s what keeps me coming back to CATS. There’s always something to learn and explore.

[29:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: The show has such a rich history, and being a part of that legacy is incredibly special.

[29:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’ve met so many wonderful people through CATS, both on and off stage.

[29:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It’s a community that I feel lucky to be a part of.

[30:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think the love for the show is what drives us all to keep performing, no matter the challenges we face.

[30:30] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It’s a testament to the power of theatre and the connections we make through it.

[30:50] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’m excited to see where my journey with CATS takes me next.

[31:10] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think there’s always room for growth and new experiences, and I’m ready for whatever comes my way.

[31:31] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I just hope to continue sharing my love for the show with audiences around the world.

[31:59] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It’s truly a gift to be able to perform and connect with people through this art form.

[32:19] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’m grateful for every opportunity I’ve had, and I look forward to many more.

[32:39] Meghan Peploe-Williams: CATS has a way of bringing people together, and I think that’s what makes it so special.

[32:59] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I hope to inspire others to pursue their passions, just as I have been inspired by this incredible show.

[33:19] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It’s all about the love and the joy that we can share through performance.

[33:39] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think that’s what keeps the magic of CATS alive.

[33:59] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’m excited to see how the show continues to evolve and touch the hearts of new generations.

[34:19] Meghan Peploe-Williams: It’s a beautiful thing to be a part of something that has such a lasting impact.

[34:39] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I truly believe that when you have such a love and a passion for a show that means so much to you, you have the ability to take care of it and look after it.

[34:49] Meghan Peploe-Williams: That’s what makes the experience so fulfilling.

[34:59] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me and for CATS.

[35:15] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think one of the biggest challenges is just the sheer volume of material that you have to learn. Each production can have different choreography, different staging, and different interpretations of the characters. So, when you're learning a new role, you have to be very adaptable and open to change.

[35:45] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I remember when I was in the Vienna Revival, we had to learn the show in German, which was a whole new experience for me. It was challenging to not only learn the lines and the music but also to understand the nuances of the language and how it affected the character's delivery.

[35:55] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Then, moving on to the Asia Tour, I had to adjust to performing in different cultural contexts. Each audience has its own energy and expectations, which can really influence how you perform.

[36:05] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I also had the opportunity to work as an Assistant Dance Captain, which added another layer to my experience. It was my job to help maintain the choreography and ensure that everyone was on the same page, which taught me a lot about leadership and teamwork.

[36:15] Meghan Peploe-Williams: One of my favorite roles has been playing Demeter. I love her complexity and the emotional depth she brings to the story. It’s always a joy to dive into her character and explore her relationships with the other cats.

[36:25] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’ve had so many memorable moments on stage, but one that stands out was during a performance in Asia when the audience was so engaged that they started clapping along with the music. It was such a beautiful moment of connection between us and the audience.

[36:35] Meghan Peploe-Williams: Another highlight was when I got to perform in front of a group of children from a local school. Their excitement and joy were infectious, and it reminded me of why I love doing this show.

[36:45] Meghan Peploe-Williams: The character insights I've gained over the years have really deepened my appreciation for the show. Each cat has its own story and struggles, and understanding those nuances makes every performance feel fresh and meaningful.

[36:55] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think what makes CATS so special is its ability to resonate with people from all walks of life. The themes of love, loss, and redemption are universal, and the music is just so powerful.

[37:05] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I also love how the show allows for so much creativity and interpretation. Each production can feel unique, and it’s exciting to see how different directors and choreographers bring their vision to life.

[37:15] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’ve been fortunate to work with some incredibly talented people throughout my journey, and their passion for the show has inspired me to keep pushing myself as a performer.

[37:25] Meghan Peploe-Williams: The camaraderie among the cast is another aspect that makes performing in CATS so rewarding. We all share a love for the show, and that bond creates a supportive environment on and off stage.

[37:35] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I think it’s important to remember that every performance is a chance to tell a story. No matter how many times you’ve done a role, there’s always something new to discover.

[37:45] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I’ve learned to embrace the challenges that come with performing in different languages and cultures. It’s all part of the journey, and it’s what makes being a part of CATS so enriching.

[38:05] Meghan Peploe-Williams: I also appreciate the opportunity to connect with fans of the show. Hearing their stories and experiences adds another layer of meaning to my work.
