Gus, or Asparagus, is the oldest cat in the Tribe after Grizabella. He was once a famous actor, but is now old and weak. He still is, however, strong-minded and opinionated.
Useful Facts About the Role
Although Gus is considered one of the main leads, he only in fact sings one song--"Gus: The Theatre Cat"--in most current productions, and is offstage for most of the show. In productions that include "Growltiger's Last Stand", he will play Growltiger, and this may include some dancing. Otherwise, he only sings and acts, and is usually played by a middle-aged or older actor.
In the movie, Asparagus is a separate character from Gus the Theatre Cat. He is a singer and dancer with several solo lines, but has no connection to Gus. "Asparagus" might in other productions be known as Ghengis, George, Bill Bailey or Carbucketty.
