Who is who

So, this year was amazing! Choreography was a bit changed, for better, most of the time. I absolutely love a scene, when Demeter attacked Macavity. He catches her and his paw is ready to strike and... his face softens and his hand gently petts her chin. She pushes him away and THIS is a strike he can't take anymore. Not a fight, but someone who he cares about, throws away his affection. It was so beautiful!

The second magical moment was when Jemima, who was singing with Grizabella, she came to Demeter, touched her paws with the expression "I can do that, but it's you who SHOULD touch her" and Demeter is absolutely puzzled, maybe a bit afraid... Their faces, all of those tiny expressions...

This time a different actor was playing Tugger, and that was a better option. Better voice in my opinion. Rumpus Cat was sung with more comedy undertones.

I absolutely LOVE this show and next year I will also be there.

Still, we have three main ships, Tugger/Cassandra, Munkustrap/Bombalurina, Alonzo/Demeter, but, let's be clear here, every ship you want is here, by a moment at least. I was in heaven when Tugger caress Munkustrap, and it clearly wasn't unwelcome. (That was new, last time they didn't do anything like that!)

Chorzów Demeter'a make-up process, shared by the make-up artist surma_studio

It seems that just like Warsaw, Chorzów had a team of make-up artists to take care of some, if not all, actors' make up. It does make sense given that with the exception of the first run, Chorzów so far has been coming back for about 2 weeks every few months so most likely it's been easier to leave the make-up up to the professionals.

In the description the artist says that up until November 27, 2023 she did make up for this show over 200 times already (counting both the actual performances and the rehearsals)

Demeter here is Izabela Pawletko

And more costumes, because I found some pictures on the internet. Mostly courtesy of fan Cats wiki and some other photos more or less oficial.

And all of those beauts are hard work of Dorota Sabak-Ciołkosz and Magdalena Wiluś.

Curtain and sides of scene. Quite a lot happened on those balconies, actually...

And yes, the scene was some old, abandoned industrial building which is so perfect when Chorzów and Kielce have their roots in that kind of things. One of many little treats :) <3

So, Catsies, it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL, AMAZING AND TOTALLY MAGICAL!

First thing, non-replica AND different than Warsaw's non-replica. I like Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer as ginger girls and Coricopat and Tantomile as siamese boys. I love expanded Demeter's role - she is the first to touch Grizabella!!!! Misto! Catsies, he was... It was magical (ha ha, I know) but he didn't say a word on the scene. And all his whole woo-doo look! Ideas about Old Deut's kidnapping and appearing. Munkustrap and Macavity fighting with FUCKING SWORDS FROM FISH'S SKELETONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe that fight was a little bit stiff, but well... Fucking swords. And it was Demeter who finally defeated Macavity, after Alonzo's serious injuries and Munku's problems. Maybe I would like more to have two numbers (Peak and a pollicles AND Growltiger) but smashing them into one was interesting idea. All those so different dances!

Second. Music. Well, we know how it's going but live orchestra was amazing.

Third. Actors DID WONDERFUL JOB. Catsies, they were absolutely amazing, perfect even. Those catsy moves and dancing! Voices! Maaaybe I prefer Tugger with a bit deeper voice, but it isn't changing anything. And all those little interactions between them! Catsies, it was... I have no words. That vital part of Cats, which make that musical so amazing was... OH MY EVERLASTING CAT!!! If I get a video of that I think I could watch it over and over again and always see something new.

Fourth. Costumes. As non replica they were different but still WONDERFUL.

Fifth. Whoever you ship, your ship is there. I was afraid, sure even, everyone will get hit with "straight ray" but no. Catsies, it was almost every single one with every single one. You name your ship, you get it. Easy as that. Tugger and Alonzo especially have perfect, little, funny moment ;)

And a little bonus! Do you know who is in the picture?

From left: Jennyanydot, Misto and Tugger!!!!

Especially for you @may-be2 . I wanted to write about it tomorrow, when I get a little more grip on reality and myself, because for now I'm one big "yeghsifhsbkdhdsbkshdbdkdjdbsjg<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3", but you want - you get, darling :)
