After all of those years being stuck on a page
did you ever imagine the role being cast up on stage?
And now that it IS, in a magical whirl
should the CAT IN THE HAT be a boy or a girl?
So I leave you to ponder
with a wave and a wink
and wish you to reply
with what it is that YOU think!

1) The musical should have never been written.
2) It's a cat. Cats are male and female, so what difference does it make?

How sad is it that it wasn't until I read WannaBe's response twice that I got that the original poster wasn't talking about CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF.
I was like, why is WannaBe calling it a musical??? Why would the poster ask if Maggie, the Cat should be a man or a woman? *sigh* I should lay off the booze.

Ray, if it makes you feel any better, I first read the thread title as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof too

Posted: 3/24/08 at 9:59pmI've seen it played by by both men and women, and the gender makes no difference. What's more important is the charisma and charm of the performer. They have to be able to immediately connect with the audience and be able to interact with them.

Let's refer back to the text to figure this one out.
"We looked and we saw HIM, right there on the mat. We looked and we saw HIM, that cat in the hat."
I guess that answers your question.

Winston, honey, that's from the source material, not the musical.
Sorry.

Winston said TEXT. He didn't say MUSICAL. He is correct in that he quoted from the TEXT.
Stop nitpicking and trying to find faults in everyone that BREATHES on here.
I know the Cat in the Hat is written as male, but ultimately, the gender doesn't really matter. SEUSSICAL is already bad and ridiculous...the gender of the Cat makes little difference. It's not as if SEUSSICAL has any artistic merit to uphold.
