Annabelle & Thatch

Cat Tales from West 82nd Street

Larry Moore, a grumpy, semi-retired musical arranger, record producer, and theatre historian, considered himself an old coot with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. After being talked into adopting a cat to keep him company, he found himself the father of not one but two rambunctious kitties: Annabelle, a narcissistic beauty who envisions herself as a future Broadway star; and her sensible little brother Thatch, who’s more than happy to just tag along. Living on New York’s Upper West Side, they picnic in Central Park, fight vampires and floods, chase down goblins and cockroaches, cope with UFOs and apartment ghosts, confront Death and an animal killer, write an original musical, and sing endless show tunes on the fire escape with their neighborly pigeons. Their adventures are quirky, whimsical, sometimes outrageous, sometimes sentimental, but always full of heart.
