The Cat Who's Taking Over Broadway Fun Love
The real star of Broadway's new Breakfast at Tiffany's is named Vito Vincent, and he wears a leash.

The new Broadway production of Breakfast at Tiffany's opened to lukewarm reviews on Wednesday, but one star is receiving universally rave reviews, and may be letting it get to his head. The story's cat character, "Cat," is being played by a rotating cast of feline actors who have been embroiled in behind the scenes drama that has resulted in firing, hiring, stinky litterboxes, and rumors of over-the-top requests. As the cat 'divo' Vito Vincent steals the scene from 'mother of dragons' Emilia Clarke, one has to wonder if the fur is flying backstage.

BuzzFeed went backstage on Breakfast's opening day to see what all the meowing was about, and while new hire Chessie was ready to go in his dressing room, neither opening night Cat Vito Vincent nor his reported understudy Montie were anywhere to be found. A publicist for the production explained that while Montie was out of the show due to bad behavior, his name would remain on the playbill indefinitely – perhaps in deference to the work he put in tolerating the notoriously vain Vito Vincent, who was also yet to appear at his scheduled press shoot.
