Last night on Saturday, April 21st at the Montalban Theatre in
Hollywood, Cat-Lovers, Broadway fans, and Stars of two legs and four
came out to support Kitty
Bungalow’s musical CATstravaganza, Hamilton’s Cats. The show ended up
being the most successful of Kitty Bungalow’s to date aiding the
non-profit’s mission of turning
feral cats into furrever companions by raising more than $65,000.
Kitty Bungalow Founder and Head Mistress Shawn Simons said, “This, our
now seventh year of our celebrity musical event, was by far our most
ambitious undertaking.
Thankfully, our sponsors, celebrities and friendly audience did not
disappoint all coming out to be a part of the music and laughs, all for a
not so funny cause, the
feline over-population problem still plaguing our city. The kitties
couldn't be more grateful.”
The show Hamilton's Catstold the story of a small-town cat rescue that
decided to put on the musical Catsas a fundraiser for their
organization. Sadly, no one was
interested until they discovered Andrew Lloyd Webber planned to attend.
Featuring the talents of Fred Willard (“Modern Family”), Emily Deschanel
(“Bones”), Wendi
McLendon Covey (“The Goldbergs”), Mindy Sterling (“Con Man”), Kirsten
Vangsness (“Criminal Minds”), Nicole Sullivan (“Black-ish”), Bethany Joy
Lenz (“Dexter”),
Elaine Hendrix (“Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll”), Carla Jimenez (“The
Mick”), Brendan Robinson (“Pretty Little Liars”), Lori Alan (“SpongeBob
SquarePants”), Maiara Walsh
(“Switched at Birth”), and Moshow the Cat Rapper.
The event began with the Hamilton’s Cats stars walking the red carpet at
7:00pm, which was hosted by Bonnie-Jill Laflin. At the same time, doors
opened to guests
where they could bid on prizes, play games, or enjoy magic tricks with
The Fantastic Fig and his Cat Newton. The curtain rose at 8:00pm, with a
half hour intermission
beginning at 9:00pm where guests were treated to live music by duo
Almond&Olive. After the end of the second act, Kitty Bungalow’s
theatre patrons enjoyed an after
party with DJ’s, an open bar, tapas, and other treats.
The year’s CATstravaganza was a roaring success; and thanks to Kitty
Bungalow’s sponsor Solid Gold Pet Nutrition, 100% of all sales went to
help rescue more homeless
animals. Additional thanks go to Fizzion Concentrated, Lime Crime, and
Michelson Found Animals.
