Those names, you ask?
They are …ournames (Patti Harrison and Mitra Jouhari).
We know what youre thinking.Who are you two?
Ive never heard of either of you.
I smell :(And, well, we agree!
We know we seem like a pair of crap-nobody humanity stains, but hear us out.
Also because we had one line.)
Plus, were really nice.
But the story goes much deeper than us bravely listing our credits.
Their (our) journey began almost 20 years ago.
(NB: The party wasCats: The Musicalthemed, not cats the animal.
Fast-forward like 10 or 15 years.
Later that evening, Mitra and Patti spent approximately $400,000 on incredible merch and have never looked back.
What transpired on that stage was true magic.
When you seeCatssinging and dancing onstage, there is nothing else.
You are …changed.
In this moment ofCats: The Musicalmovie being announced, we have become activated.
Not everything is for us.
But this is for us.
No one will do this with as much enthusiasm and integrity.
The love, the gratitude, the appreciation its unparalleled, unmatched, and unbridled.
Heres our humble request: We want to be extras inCats: The Musical: The Movie.
We want to be in full-body cat makeup.
We dont care if we have lines.
We will pay for our own transportation and hotel if need be.
This would mean everything to us, and we promise not to make a request like this ever again.
We are shooting our shot because this is a shot worth taking.
We are a package deal, and a package whose contents love and honor each other very much!
If you’ve got the option to make this happen, just, just do.
We are not being snarky, we genuinely would be so happy to do this.
It would be a dream come true.
Our love forCatsis as real as our love for each other, and thats saying something.
Pattra Jouharrison (our names combined to save space)
