Hi! Do you know if anyone is selling the Cats snow globe? I can’t find any online. There’s one but it’s brand new & way out of my budget 🥲

I don't really have connections with anyone selling cats merch so the best I can do is post this to this blog and anyone who might know someone who's selling one can comment on this

I will say that unfortunately the snow globes come up quite rarely for sale and are usually extremely expensive so it may take a while of searching for one to come up at a price point that works for you

As always I recommend checking ebay, mercari, and even shopgoodwill.com sometimes has things come up

I have just catch plates in mint condition how much are they worth

I don't remember the price ranges, your best bet is to search them up on ebay or worthpoint to see what they go for

Roman Inc. CATS Broadway Collectible Plates

These limited edition plates from Roman Inc. are dated 1984 and depict Betty Buckley as Grizabella, Timothy Scott as Mr. Mistoffelees, and Terrence Mann as Rum Tum Tugger.

I believe there are 3 other plates from this series, however I have not been able to find images of them nor do I know which characters they depict.

Update: the other 3 plates depict Skimbleshanks, Growltiger, and the CATS logo (thank you to @the-cat-at-the-theatre-door​ for finding this image)

Official CATS Coloring and Activity Book

This coloring book was created for the 6,138th performance of the original Broadway run of CATS on June 19th, 1997. This performance made CATS the longest running musical in Broadway history at the time. The coloring book was written and illustrated by Kristin Doney and was sold at the Winter Garden Theatre.

CATS Dolls by Shiki

These dolls are extremely rare, with only 30 of them having been made. The dolls are of Rum Tum Tugger (in his all-white costume from the 80s Shiki production), Mr. Mistoffelees, and Tantomile (aka Cassandra in English productions). The dolls had inset eyes and limited shoulder articulation. They were presumably made in the 80s, around the time the white Tugger costume was in use.

CATS Commemorative Stamp

This stamp was released in 2000 as a part of the 1980′s “Celebrate the Century” stamp series. The Post Office put up a vote for people to pick 1980s art and entertainment that they thought reflected the era, and CATS came in with a whopping 169,357 votes. At the time of its release, CATS was still playing at the Winter Garden Theater, and a special event was held for the release of the stamp. 

According to a spokesperson, the stamp is meant to depict “a generic Cat character from the show”, however it is actually directly based off a photo of Terrence Mann as Rum Tum Tugger.
