ThunderCats Live: The Lost Arena Show That Sold Out Madison Square Garden w/ Marty Almaraz (Tygra)

ThunderCats Live remains one of the most fascinating and least documented chapters in ThunderCats history. In this first time interview, Sean "Buddha" McKeone and original ThunderCats writer Peter Lawrence sit down with Marty Almaraz, who portrayed Tygra, Buzzsaw, and multiple characters in the legendary touring arena production that brought ThunderCats, SilverHawks, TigerSharks, Karate Kat, and Street Frogs to audiences across America.

Most fans know the cartoon. Far fewer know there was a massive live show that packed arenas, featured aerial effects from the world-famous Flying by Foy company, roller-skating performers, elaborate costumes, and even sold out Madison Square Garden. Marty shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories about auditioning for the production, life on the road, performing multiple roles, and what it was like helping bring these iconic characters to life in front of thousands of fans.

The conversation also explores Marty's remarkable journey beyond ThunderCats Live. From working in a deli and pursuing dance as a young performer to building a successful career as a professional chef, including time working at one of Chef Bobby Flay's restaurants in Las Vegas, Marty reflects on the unexpected path his life and career have taken.

You'll also hear the story of how the tour was originally planned to continue across the country, why a second leg never happened, and how a major moment in American history helped bring one of the most ambitious children's touring productions of the 1980s to an abrupt end.
Whether you're a ThunderCats fan, a lover of 1980s cartoons, a theater enthusiast, or someone fascinated by forgotten pieces of entertainment history, this episode offers a rare look behind the curtain of a production that has largely been lost to time.
