Cats, but it is a jukebox musical

Envisioning the playlist if Cats would be made as a Jukebox musical. Decided to give Macavity two solo's taken from Tanz instead of the usual brief scares, do need some more songs.

But, but, but... I already got tickets.

I really need the upcoming London Rebecca to be another scam I DONT want it in english

Little Krolockstrap whishes you a happy Halloween!

He's also enquiring if any of you misplaced their sponge, he found one laying around.

Usually people are not completely evil, and things are more nuanced. I always try to see past the differences they and I have in certain opinions. But JK Rowling has less redeeming qualities than Dolores Umbridge.

Hey this is why you stop fucking buying her shit btw

[hysperia]

does he?

its the 25th anniversary of Tanz der Vampire. Here is the Krolockstrap plushie that @fleece-and-feltical-catsats made for me, based on Steve Barton's characters in both Tanz and Cats as Graf Von Krolock and Munkustrap.

The rest of the Jellicle plushie family approves, and my Jenny is proud of her twin sister.

Thank you so much for bringing all this Jellicle joy to the world.

Plushie #100 has been finished!!! 

I knew I wanted to make something a little more ambitious for my hundredth Jellicle, and I thought this was perfect. I’ve made some before with removable pieces so it wasn’t new territory or anything. I’m very excited about her, I don’t get to make Jenny too often so getting to make this one and have it be a more special project was really fun. 

It’s been almost a year since I made my first Jellicle plush, and tbh I never thought I’d be sitting here in the triple digits. I got so much encouragement after I made the US Tour 6 cast’s plushies and started to take commissions, and I’ve gotten to send my little guys across the world because of it. This has been such a fun ongoing project for me and I wouldn’t be doing it without support from everyone. So to anyone who has commissioned me, appreciated my little Jellicles, followed this blog, however you’ve supported me, thank you. It means the world to me. 

Now onto the rest of them!

This post is in desperate need of an addendum, because I've fallen off my belief in the holy Munkutrinity of Barton-Gruber-Auler. After seeing Vienna three times in a week: two times with Alexander Auler, once with Florian Fetterle, and the Fetterstrap is now my favorite Munkustrap, ranking above Gruber and possible even Barton.

It's not that Florian puts up a better performance than Alexander, but his portrayal is more fitting to my HC of the character. I would say that Fetterstrap is the same character as Aulerstrap: but a few years older and wiser. Where Aulerstrap is still asserting his dominance as protector of the tribe, Fetterstrap already has attained that position and has grown comfortable in his role, mores secure in his position.

And I just have a soft spot for baritone Munks, I prefer the warm deep voice of Fetterstrap over the boyish twinge that Aulerstrap has.

Excuse me, do you have time to talk about our Lord and Saviour Munkustrap?

Who is your favourite strap and why? For me it's the holy trinity of Steve Barton - Michael Gruber - Alexander Auler.

Bartonstrap is the Munk you go to for fatherly advice.

Gruberstrap is the Munk that protects you from bullies.

Aulerstrap is the Munk you'd date.

I'm a big fan of Tecklenburg's concession stand Demeter with that hat and train above her tail.

Caroline Frank, Tecklenburg 2015

And of course Mexico's big hair and fluffy tails.

Demeter help!

Hey y’all I’m trying to design a Demeter look, need a little help! If anyone can send me either their favorite Demeter actresses or their fave Demeter looks from different productions, that would be fantastic!

Many thanks, much love!

Had a silly moment with Krolock-Munkustrap and Demeter plushies made by @fleece-and-feltical-cats.
