Summary
“The way I approached this whole production is that I wanted this to be the CATS that 11-year-old Tyler would want to see. If there were kids in the audience, I would capture their attention and maybe have them fall in love with the show in the same way that I did." This episode features Tyler Daddario who was the Director of the 2025 production of CATS at the Broadway Theater of Pitman, New Jersey. Tyler shares his personal and professional journey with CATS, starting from his childhood obsession with a Barney VHS trailer to directing a full-scale production. The episode delves into Tyler's unique approach to storytelling and character development, his rehearsal process, audience reactions, and his special family ties to the show. Tune in to hear fascinating behind-the-scenes insights and Tyler's reflections on what he'd change if he could direct Cats again. 01:24 Tyler's Early Love for CATS 02:31 Basement Productions and Family Involvement 06:04 Transition to Professional Theater 07:39 Directing at the Broadway Theater of Pitman 11:12 Rehearsal Process 23:06 Audience Reactions and Reflections 30:05 Family Trees and Interpretations 32:41 Memorable Moments in Production 37:19 Rapid Fire Check out Tyler's Website: www.tylerdaddario.com Check out Broadway Theatre of Pitman's Website: www.thebroadwaytheatre.org Produced by: Alan Seales & Broadway Podcast Network Social Media: @TheWrongCatDied Learn more about your ad choices.
