JELLICLE QUEENS APPRECIATION MONTH

Last round of my beautiful lovely amazing queens let’s GOOOOOOOOO ✊ Okay this has taken SO long, holy molly. @jelliclequeens​ 

June 6th - Griddlebone

What do you love about this queen? She’s SO extra. Literally. Looks like a cotton cloud, sings opera, kicks everyone in the ass. An icon.

What is your favorite version of this queen? Honestly, I’ve only seen like... 2 versions of Griddlebone? She always looks big and fluffy and I love that.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? I’m gonna say Bonnie Simmons because it’s the version I prefer out of the ones on Spotify.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Good question, because I have no idea. I’ll say... Bombalurina. Because, you know what? These two could rule the world of they wanted to.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? When she goes “bye” and disappeares when the shit hits the fan lol

June 7th - Tantomile

What do you love about this queen? I think by now everyone knows that until a couple of weeks I actually didn’t like her. 1998 Tanto & Cori creeped the fuck out of me BUT I’ve found some super adorable Tantos out there and now I lover her.

What is your favorite version of this queen? I love the classical “rolled ears” style but I must admit that blue-haired Tanto from the Opera Populaire production is beautiful af.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Helen Gulston and Brittany Tooms Peel, they’re AMAZING and I’d die for them.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Cassomile, it has so much power. Also I’m starting to warm up to Tantoteazer uwu

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? Whenever she does dumb stuff like pulling Tuggers tail (in the Dutch tour, I believe). She’s so cute.

June 8th - Cassandra

What do you love about this queen? EVERYTHING, SHE’S FREAKING AMAZING. She’s so beautiful, captivating, but also caring and lovely and so athletic, she’s just a goddess.

What is your favorite version of this queen? Hmm... I like most of them, I find them pretty similar. Buuut when the ears are rolled back? I love those wigs.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Rebecca Parker from 1998 movie, because I’m basic and I’m in love with her. But also Mette Towley from 2019 movie, she was one of my favourites in the movie!

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Cassomile, but I think that Cassalurina or Cassmeter would slap too.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? When she’s picked by Misto to do the magic trick. She’s super excited, a cutie pie.

June 9th - Victoria

What do you love about this queen? She’s so elegant and beautiful and I just want to be half as fab as her.

What is your favorite version of this queen? I like the versions where she’s mostly white with light brown/pink details, better than the ones with black details.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Phyllida Crowley Smith (1998 movie) and Hannah Kenna Thomas (Vienna 2019)

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Victeazer, of course. My two amazing ladies being amazing together, QUALITY CONTENT.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? The solo; even after watching it a thousand times I still find it fascinating. I love it. The solo and when she finally touches Grizabella. Make me cry, Vic, I deserve it.

June 10th - Rumpleteazer

What do you love about this queen? Okay, shit gets real here. I love EVERYTHING about Rumpleteazer. She has been one of my favourites ever since I saw the musical for the very first time. I love her. She’s funny, cute, super athletic, playful but with a soft side. She’s amazing istg I love Rumple.

What is your favorite version of this queen? All Teazers are good Teazers. (I’m not kidding, I love them all)

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Jo Gibb will always be my number one! However, Naoimh Morgan (both stage and 2019 movie), Shonica Gooden, Rose Iannacone, Anna Carina Buchegger and Georgie Leatherland are amazing too and I love them all.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Victeazer! Rumple stealing jewels for her fancy girlfriend. That’s all I need.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? Every time she’s on stage is the best moment. Okay, I’ll be more selective: her whole number, her enthusiasm during Skimble’s song, and whenever she’s cute with any other cat. Oh, and during the Jellicle Ball, she’s AMAZING. Underrated dancer. And the “Are you lean like a lynx?” moment.

June 11th - Demeter

What do you love about this queen? Again, she’s one of my favourites so... Everything. She’s so brave and strong and I enjoy every single moment she’s on stage. One of the things I love the most about her is how despite the hardships she’s been through, she still wants to be happy and to enjoy life while she’s young.

What is your favorite version of this queen? London-based designs are my favourites most of the time. I love when her wig has this spiky style. A kind punk, that’s my girl!

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Linda Mae Brewer (Aeva May), Guadalupe Lancho, Erca Jayne Alden and Emanuelle N’Zuzi.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Demelurina, obviously. Queens of queens. This ship will end us all.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? Her number with Bombalurina. They could kill me. And whenever she reunites with Munkustrap or Bombalurina after Macavity’s attack.

June 12th - Bombalurina

What do you love about this queen? Did I mention... Everything? She’s amazing. I love her confident attitude, how she doesn’t give a shit about anyone or anything. She’s sexy, she knows it, and she’ll do ehatever she wants because she can. However, she’s also caring and loving and is always watching over the younger cats and at the same time has a great relationship with the older queens. She’s an icon.

What is your favorite version of this queen? Oof, all of them. 2017 Asian tour was particularly gorgeous and whenever I see that design I cry for hours.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Rosemarie Ford, Suzie Melloy, Paqui Sánchez Melchior and Nadia Strahan.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Demelurina!

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? When she shows her protective side. I’d die for her, I’m not lying ;; And her solo moment during the Jellicle Ball, what a moment to be alive.

June 13th - Grizabella

What do you love about this queen? She’s quite a complex character, honestly. I love how prideful she is, and how she always keeps her head up. Go for it, queen!

What is your favorite version of this queen? I like the old school curly hair Griz better than the new version, honestly. Mexico Grizabella is super beautiful too, I love her.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? Elaine Paige, Rosemarie Ford, Mamie Parris, Ana Milva Gomes, Rocío Banquells and María del Sol.

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Maybe a young GrizxJelly could be cute, but I’m still bitter that they didn’t make a canon Fem!DeutxGriz in the 2019 movie.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? Memory. It’s very basic, but honestly, it makes me cry every time. 

June 14th - Exotica

What do you love about this queen? I’m gonna be honest... I never payed much attention to her. Sorry Exotica ;; 

What is your favorite version of this queen? Okay maybe this is weird but... Do you know how she has two costumes in the 1998 movie? I like more the one that appears less lol, the “tabby” suit.

Who is your favorite actress that played this queen? I only know Femi Taylor!

What is your wlw ship with this queen? Hm... ExoticaxCassandra could be interesting.

Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical? I’ve heard she has a couple of cute moments with Jellylorum at some point, but I don’t remember when ;;

Guadalupe Lancho as Demeter, Madrid 2003.

[junkyard-gifs]

Yes - in the (pre-revival) Broadway and Hamburg traditions Alonzo was the one who took most of the Macavity fight and was paired with Demeter afterward (as well as often dancing with her during the ball) so there’s a lot of material out there for it as a ship!  the-cat-at-the-theatre-door made a nice gifset of some of those moments.

Here’s some more.

Guadalupe Lancho and Javier Toca Juara, Madrid 2004.

Carolina Laris and Carlos Hampshire, Mexico 2018.

Stefano Bontempi and Juliann Kuchoki, Hamburg 1999.

Ella Nonini and Fletcher Dobinson, Asia tour 2020.

Cong Zijun as Alonzo and Ding Zhenying as Demeter(’s legs), with Zhang Hao as Macavity and Xia Zhenkai as Munkustrap, China 2012 (that’s Alonzo on the tyre).

I don't know how popular it still is, but I know that Demelozo used to be a popular ship back in the late 00's

Demelonzo? I’m very intrigued...

I’ve seen Demelonzostrap, but just Demeter and Alonzo is a ship that I’d love to explore! I can absolutely see them being really sweet together, and both being protective of each other, with Alonzo being a former street cat and Demeter formerly being a henchcat.

Tras 24 años de ausencia sobre las tablas, el consagrado Imanol Arias regresa al teatro con “La vida a palos” de Pedro Atienza y José Manuel Mora, bajo la dirección de Carlota Ferrer. En medio de flamencos y costumbres gitanas, se narra la historia de un hombre que no ve a su hijo desde que él era muy pequeño y que intentará recomponer la relación mediante un recorrido por lo sucedido durante todo este tiempo. Con certeza se puede afirmar que Arias es la verdadera atracción de esta pieza teatral; sus años de oficio se ven representados en los largos textos que lo obligan a permanecer durante mucho tiempo en escena. Por su parte, Aitor Luna, encargado de ponerse en la piel del hijo, sabe estar a la altura de un imponente actor como lo es Imanol. También consigue ese efecto Guadalupe Lancho, quién con varios pero cortos personajes, hace algunas intervenciones en las que vale destacar su voz que emociona y que se lleva más de un aplauso a lo largo de la función. Pero en una obra como “La vida a palos”, el flamenco sabe ocupar un rol más que fundamental: Raúl Jiménez, como el “cantaor”, es el responsable de las interpretaciones musicales en vivo, mientras que Batio lo acompaña con su violonchelo. Probablemente la escenografía no sea su fuerte y no favorezca a este acontecimiento escénico, aunque cabe subrayar un interesante juego de pantallas con la proyección sobre un muro de la transmisión de una cámara en vivo, asunto que igualmente no se termina de desarrollar. “La vida a palos” es una comedia dramática que disfrutará quien sea amante del flamenco o los que admiramos a semejante actor, capaz de no mostrar ni una sola fisura en sus extensos textos, siendo este el motivo de la ovación por parte del público al final de la función.

While Bombalurina and Munkustrap were getting steamy during the honky-tonk, Coricopat and Demeter were being cute buds.

Here, Coricopat tries to steal the spotlight (with a dramatic hip-thrust??) - but Bombalurina does it more effectively.

Oh well, he's an easy-going lad. He ambles over to Demeter and ruffles her ears, getting a playful sort of swat as he wanders back upstage.

Alonzo dances with Demeter, with Coricopat and Demeter beside them. When Alonzo puts her down, it's gentle and sensual. But they move apart from each other soon enough, as Coricopat and Tantomile settle down together in the shadows behind them.

Rather than moving away with Alonzo, Demeter settles down with Coricopat and Tantomile, and shares a little nose-touch with Coricopat as the ballet boys keep doing their thing in the spotlight.

I haven't given much thought to the dynamic between these two, but it makes sense. He's fairly quiet and laidback, so I think she'd find his company rather relaxing - and I doubt either Cori or Tanto demands much in the way of conversatoin if you just want to chill with them and say nothing!

Madrid 2003: Guadalupe Lancho as Demeter and Santiago Cano as Coricopat, with Javier Toca Juara as Alonzo.

meanwhile Munkustrap

Madrid boys not messing around :(

(Alberto Sànchez as Skimble, Sandra Rausell as Jemima, Helen de Quiroga as Grizabella, Jack Rebaldi as Munkustrap, Paqui Sánchez Melchior as Bombalurina, Guadalupe Lancho as Demeter.)

Javier Toca Juara: we are horny cats!

Me: ... I’m going to give the Alonzo shippers everything I want.

Okay, so in context this was not explicitly shippy. But these other three clips of close-ups from Bombalurina, Munkustrap, and Tugger, immediately preceded/followed Javier’s little whisper to the camera. So here, have some ‘horny cats’ gifs for three of the big Alonzo ships. Take them and do with them as ye will.

From swing Edgar Reyes’ backstage footage of Madrid 2003-04.
