A One Act Musical, Rated G

The Alley Cats introduce Berlioz, Marie, Toulouse and their mother Duchess — the richest cats in all of Paris (“Prologue/The Aristocats”). When the Aristocats’ beloved owner, Madame, announces that she has left them all of her money, Edgar, the family butler, becomes very jealous. While the Aristocats practice singing (“Scales and Arpeggios”), Edgar warms some milk. After they fall asleep, Edgar takes the Aristocats out into the country and leaves them in a ditch.

As the Aristocats wake up, lost and alone, Napoleon and his pack of Country Dogs chase Edgar away (“Use Your Nose”). An Alley Cat named O’Malley discovers the Aristocats (“Thomas O’Malley Cat”), who are surprised to find him friendly. Despite the protests of the other Alley Cats, O’Malley agrees to help the Aristocats find their way home to Madame. Napoleon and the Dogs find the Cats and chase them down. When Marie falls into a river, O’Malley dives in to save her, only to be saved himself by a pair of Geese, Abigail and Amelia (“The Gabble Girls”). The whole gang waddles back to the city.

In Paris, O’Malley and the Alley Cats show the Aristocats the benefits of their freewheeling life (“Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat”). Duchess invites O’Malley to come home with her, but he decides to stay in the alley. Surprised to find them home, Edgar traps the Aristocats and prepares to ship them to Timbuktu (“The Cat Wash”). Roquefort the Mouse runs off to get help from O’Malley (“Roquefort to the Rescue/Somebody Is Looking for a Cat”). The Dogs and Geese join the Alley Cats to save the Aristocats and ship Edgar away (“The Butler Did It!/Finale”). Madame celebrates the return of her precious Aristocats and agrees to take in all their friends as her treasured pets (“Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat – Bows”).

Thomas O’Malley is the charming and charismatic lead alley cat. He lives as a free spirit with no attachments but secretly desires to be part of a family. This role requires a strong actor, singer, and mover. He should also be comfortable flirting with the actress playing Duchess.

The Alley Cats (Hep, Mad, Slick And Wacky)
The Alley Cats (Hep, Mad, Slick and Wacky), although small acting parts, are the glue that holds Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS together. These storytellers set up and comment on the action as well as execute the scene changes. These roles require actors with strong speaking voices who can focus onstage for long periods of time. They should also have good memories for the more complicated blocking of scene changes and transitions.
