Thnx for coming to my ted talk, i appreciate you, have a lovely day!!

Un Beta'd

Lee pushed the old mower through the yard, the sun heating his pale skin, sweat covering his body. For the past several months he’d fallen into blissful domestication. He’d never felt like he had a home, even with his mom and sister. Now he felt like he could always lay his head down with Y/N and Liam. The only problem with that is he always had the small feeling in the back of his mind that maybe it will all disappear. 

“Daddy!” Liam ran out the front door with a big, tall glass of sweet tea. “Here!” He handed Lee the glass. “Mommy said take a break.”

“Thank you, buddy.” Lee stops the mower and takes the glass, downing most of the contents in one go.”You being good in there for mommy?” Lee asks, whipping his mouth wih the back of his hand.

“Yeah! Mommy is making a pot roast.���

“Yummy!” Lee kneels next to Liam. “Tell her to make potatoes, too.”

A gust of wind whipped through the air and Liam and Lee both froze. Lee stood, his nose in the air. 

“Daddy?”

“Yeah, buddy, I smell it, too.”

Liam walked to the end of the yard inhaling deeply. “What is it?” He turns his little head with the breeze. “It smells-”

“I don’t know buddy.” Lee walks up next to Liam. 

“Really yummy.”

“I know.”

The sound of laughing down the street made Lee’s head whip to the side. A young man walked next to a girl, the wind blowing around him and then filling Lee’s nose. He swallowed thickly as Liam tugged his pants.

“I know.” Lee repeated, watching the pair coming closer. 

“Daddy,” Liam pulled harder. 

Lee looked down and knelt back next to Liam. “Listen to me.” He turned his face to look at him. “Hey, Liam!” The boy turned quickly to him. “Take a deep breath and go inside.” Liam looks back at the people across the street and Lee snaps at him again. “Liam!” He stands and pulls the boy roughly by the hand, dragging him into the house.

“No!” Liam tries to pull away. Lee picks him up and carries him in the house, Y/N running to the door from the kitchen at the sound of Liam screaming. “Let me go!”

Lee placed him on his feet, Liam trying to push his way past him. “Hey, what’s going on?!” 

She reached for Liam but Lee stopped her. “Don’t!” But it was too late. Liam bit down on her arm, a scream leaving her lips. “Stop!” Lee grabbed Liam but his teeth were deep into her forearm. 

Lee reached his hand around Liam’s neck and squeezed his jaw at the jawline. He pressed harder and his little jaw released his mother’s arm. Blood dripped from his lips, Y/N’s hand wrapping around the fresh bite mark. 

“Ow!” Liam yelled, stumbling back, falling on his bottom.

He looked up at Lee with mean eyes. “Why’d you do that?!” He yelled standing.

“Liam, listen to me.” Lee held on to the boy’s arms. “Calm down-”

“Let me go!” Liam growled out in a way he never had before. 

“What’s wrong with him!” Y/N shouted, tears from both pain and fear. 

She didn’t know what was happening to her baby. She wanted to hold him and comfort him but at the same time she was scared to touch him. 

“Just stay back.” Lee told her calmly, his eyes staying on Liam. “Buddy, take a deep breath, okay?”

“I want-”

“I know, buddy, I know. You smelled it and you wanted it. But you can’t, okay?”

“My stomach hurts!” Liam pouted angrily, still pushing against Lee.

“I know, mine does, too, but listen to me.” Lee dips his head, making Liam look at him clearly. “You can’t just take people. You can’t just take people off the street and eat.” 

“What the fuck is going on?!” She shouted from the kitchen, wrapping a towel around her arm. 

“Just stay in there!” Lee shouted at her.

At the sound of Liam screaming again, Y/N rushed in the room and saw Liam snarling, saliva dripping from his mouth like a feral animal. Lee grabbed him and pressed his thumb into Liam’s neck. 

“Lee, what are you doing?!” She grabbed Lee’s hand and he fell back.

Liam went for his mother’s flesh again sounding like a wild animal. She fell against the wall banging her head against the door frame. Lee shot up, pulling Liam back from Y/N. She watched in horror as Lee held Liam tightly, pushing his thumb into his neck hard. Liam’s face reddened and his fighting lessened. Little by little she watched as his little body went limp in Lee’s arms. 

“Lee!” She pushed him to the floor, Liam’s limp body falling at her feet. “What the fuck are you doing?!” She scooped the child up and held him close. “Wake up!” Shaking him, the tears began to fall down her face.

“He’s okay!” Lee shouted. 

“What did you do?!”

“I knocked him out.”

“Why-”

“Baby, calm down, take a breath!” He tells her trying to keep calm himself. “You have blood pouring from your arm. He is fine. I had to do it. You saw him. He was out of control.” He places his hand on her face. “You trust me. Okay?” She nods, trying to hold back the sobs. “Give him to me.” He gently takes the body from her arms. “God wrap your arm, I’ll be in as soon as I lay him down.”

Running to the kitchen she wrapped another towel around her arm, blood droplets littered the floor. Lee laid his son on the sofa before going to the bathroom and getting a washcloth. Holding pressure on her arm she stood there watching Lee carefully clean Liam up and make sure he was okay before turning to her. 

He took her arm and immediately went to work cleaning and patching up the bite. “What happened, Lee?”

“I put him unconscious.” He sighed. “He smelled someone that triggered a feeding frenzy.”

“I-I don’t-”

“There was a boy, I smelled him, too.” Lee shook his head, whipping her arm, gaining a hiss. “It’s like being absolutely starving and smelling your favorite food. I’m talking, like, you go a week without eating and someone places your favorite dish in front of you.” He pressed the bandage on her arm. “It flips a switch in your brain and all you want is to bite. To fill that need. He is little and still pretty new so he doesn’t know how to control it.” He tossed the bandage papers in the trash. “Knocking him out was the only way to stop it.” He crosses his arms over his chest. “When he wakes up he will be okay. Until he smells that kid again.”

“What can we do?”

“When he gets that way you need to actually listen to me and stay away.”

“Lee, that’s my son!”

“He’s mine, too! But I know how to handle it! You don’t know what it feels like! It physically hurts!” Lee stopped instantly, his head snapping to the screen door. “Fuck!” He muttered in frustration. “That kids needs to get the fuck away from the house.”

She looks at the young boy near the street. “That kid?” She looks at Lee, his face twisted. “It’s doing it to you, too.” She watches his eyes follow the guy. “Isn’t it?”

“I can control it. Liam can’t.” He shuts the door. “Go shut all the doors and windows. Keep the smell out.” She rushes to the windows and pulls them shut. “I’ll take Liam to hunt. It’ll help.” Lee grabs the bag from the closet. 

“Mommy?” The little voice sounds from the living room. “Daddy?” They rush into the room and Liam is holding his stomach curled on the couch. “It hurts. I’m hungry.”

“I know, buddy.” Lee kneels next to him. “I’m going to get some things together and we’ll go hunt, okay?”

Y/N pulls her baby boy into her arms and rocks him as Lee hurries around the house shoving clothes and random items in the duffle bag. “I’m sorry I bit you, mommy.” The little broken voice came from her arms.

“Shh, it’s okay.” She hugs him close. “It’s not your fault.” 

“Alright, come on, buddy.” Lee swings the bag over his shoulder, holding out his arms for Liam. 

“My tummy hurts.” Liam crawls into his dad’s arms.

“I know bud, we are going to fix it.”

“I want that man.”

“I know, but you can’t eat someone where you live. Remember what I told you about that?” Liam nodded, his head tucked into Lee’s neck as he walked out to the car with him. 

“Excuse me?” A voice came from the road. The three of them looked to see the same man that triggered Lee and Liam standing by the mailbox. Liam’s nails dug desperately into Lee’s shoulders. The same sting in the back of his throat rising into Lee’s. “Do either of you know where Missy’s Dinner is?”

Y/N looked at Lee and she had a calmness come across her face. “Take Liam and go upstairs.”

“What?!” Lee muttered into the door of the car. “Are you crazy?!”

“I have an idea.” She walked away from Lee to the young man. “You’re not from around here, are you?” She asks, stopping at the mailbox. 

“No, ma’am. Just passing through.” He walked forward, the sun setting behind him.

“I can tell. Everyone knows where Missy’s is.” She smiles. “Come in and I’ll give you directions.”

She gestured and the man walked past Lee, he held Liam so tight. He felt the boy fighting the urge to lunge forward. His instinct of what he is pulsing through his tiny veins.

“Y/N,” Lee stopped her, a tight hand around her arm, keeping her from following the man into the house. “What the fuck are you doing?!” He grunted out. “He is the one making him sick! Get rid of him!” Lee held Liam close. 

“I know.” She looked Lee dead in the eye.

At that moment Lee understood. No words were spoken, just that one look.

“Are you sure?” He whispered to her. “We said never at home.”

“That is why you are gonna take him into the woods, away from the house.” She told him with a stern voice.

He swallowed thickly, looking at the man standing on the back step. “I was actually about to  head that way now.” Lee spoke up, handing Liam to Y/N. 

“Really?” The man turned back.

“Yeah, come on.” He placed his arm around the young man’s shoulders. He looked back at Y/N. “I’ll be back.”

“He’ll be waiting.” She rubbed Liam’s back.

She walked back and forth through the kitchen holding Liam in her arms. He squirmed and whined. He was in pain from the sudden triggered hunger. After an hour and a half the screen door creaked open. 

“Give him to me.” Lee hurried to her, scooping Liam up. 

He was out the door without another word.

Title: “Love and Other Four-Letter Words”

Louis Tomlinson had two great loves in life: sarcasm and football. What he didn’t love—what he actively despised—was Liam Payne.

Which was a shame because Liam Payne was his new neighbor.

“Oh, brilliant,” Louis muttered to himself the day Liam moved in, lugging box after box into the house next door with all the enthusiasm of someone who had never once been told to piss off. Louis stood by the window, cradling his coffee, watching Liam’s biceps flex as he struggled with an enormous box labeled Books.

“Who even reads that much?” Louis scoffed, deliberately ignoring the tiny flutter in his chest.

From then on, it was war.

Round One: The Lawn Incident

It started innocently enough. Louis was mowing his lawn when Liam popped his head over the fence like some sort of overly buff meerkat.

“Morning!” Liam called.

Louis narrowed his eyes. “What d’you want, Payne?”

“Nothing,” Liam said, flashing that annoyingly bright smile. “Just thought I’d say hi.”

“Well, don’t.” Louis revved the mower aggressively and proceeded to mow an extremely crooked line out of spite.

Later, when he found Liam trimming his perfectly manicured hedges, Louis shouted, “Bit much, isn’t it? You compensating for something?”

Liam just smiled. “I wouldn’t know, mate. Don’t have anything to compensate for.”

Louis stormed back into his house, fuming.

Round Two: The Party

Things escalated at Niall’s party a week later.

“Louis,” Niall said, dragging him into the kitchen, “play nice with Liam, yeah?”

“Why should I?” Louis asked, stealing a beer from the fridge.

“Because he’s my mate,” Niall said. “And because you’ll look like an arse if you don’t.”

Louis rolled his eyes but grudgingly agreed.

It lasted all of twenty minutes.

“Tomlinson, you can’t possibly think Man City’s better than United,” Liam said, his tone dripping with condescension.

“Oh, I can,” Louis shot back. “Because it’s true.”

Harry, who was sitting between them, looked like he wanted to evaporate. “Maybe we don’t talk about football, yeah?”

But Louis and Liam were already off, bickering like a pair of toddlers.

By the end of the night, Liam had spilled beer on Louis’s shoes, and Louis had “accidentally” knocked Liam’s phone into a bowl of salsa.

“Grow up,” Liam snapped.

“Piss off,” Louis replied.

The Turning Point

It was raining the day it happened. Louis was out walking his dog, Clifford, when he slipped in the mud and twisted his ankle.

“Fucking fantastic,” he muttered, trying to stand.

“Louis?”

He looked up to see Liam jogging toward him, umbrella in hand.

“What happened?” Liam asked, crouching beside him.

“Fell,” Louis grumbled.

Without another word, Liam slid an arm under Louis’s and helped him to his feet.

“I’ve got it,” Louis said, wincing.

“You clearly don’t,” Liam replied, guiding him toward his house.

Louis tried to argue, but the warmth of Liam’s hand on his waist was distracting.

The Confession

Two weeks later, Louis found himself standing on Liam’s doorstep, heart pounding. He didn’t know why he was there. Or rather, he did—he just hated admitting it.

Liam opened the door, his face softening when he saw Louis. “Hey.”

“Hey,” Louis said awkwardly, shoving his hands in his pockets. “Look, I, uh… I wanted to say thanks. For the other day.”

“You’re welcome,” Liam said, smiling gently.

“And, um, sorry for being such a dick all the time.”

Liam laughed. “It’s okay. I think I kind of like it.”

Louis blinked. “You like it?”

“Yeah,” Liam said, stepping closer. “Keeps things interesting.”

Before Louis could overthink it, Liam leaned in and kissed him.

When they pulled apart, Louis smirked. “You’re not half-bad, Payne.”

“Neither are you, Tomlinson,” Liam replied.

The Aftermath

By the time they made their relationship public, everyone was suspiciously unsurprised.

“Took you long enough,” Zayn said, lounging on Louis’s couch.

Niall grinned. “I knew it! Told you two were flirting.”

“It wasn’t flirting,” Louis protested.

“It was absolutely flirting,” Harry chimed in. “The sexual tension was unbearable.”

Louis rolled his eyes but couldn’t fight the smile on his face.

For the first time in months, he didn’t mind Liam Payne being next door. Actually, he quite liked it.

The End.

Fav mistoffelees? Fav recording?

Fav Misto is a couple people, because I'm not quite as particular about my Cats actors as I am about Starlight actors.

I like Timothy Scott, I like lanky Mistos and I listen to the Broadway album in my car a bunch. I like Guy-Paul, he looks really good in the 1990 Paris boot. Liam Mower is the only one I've seen live and he did a good job :)

As for recordings... I don't really have any? I like the pro-shot, but pretty much everyone does, I like the Paris boot up on Youtube, I know I like the Vienna Revival album and the Broadway album. Truth is, I don't watch super many Cats boots! I know I gotta change that, so here's my question to YOU anon, or anyone who wants to answer: what's your favorite recording?

Also: gotta shout out this Misto solo cause I love watching it

[aspiring-baba-yaga]

Silly Game Time: Change one letter of a media title, and tell us what that different media would be about.

For example, "Taken" (a movie where Liam Neeson seeks bloody vengeance against the men who kidnapped his adult daughter) becomes "Waken" (a movie where Liam Neeson seeks bloody vengeance against the men who woke up his baby daughter).

From the studios that brought you The Two Towers comes…

The Two Mowers (two suburban dads are locked in an epic landscaping rivalry. Will one prevail and have One Lawn to Rule Them All, or can they join forces and defeat the Dark Lord HOA?)

[thebirdandhersong]

So far this arc has come at me with a baseball bat (Milah), a shovel (Peter Pan), a metal pipe (Daniel), a cudgel (Regina's dad), a cast iron pan (Hercules), and now it's coming at me again with a whole lawn mower (LIAM???)

wish I get to see him as misto

And just when we thought the new international tour design changes were going to be mostly just wig and makeup, and the unitards would be much the same....

Mistoffelees is no longer a tux I repeat Mistoffelees is not a tuxedo cat anymore!!

Liam Mower as Mistoffelees, 15 May 2022.

Just that bit of grey/white at the top of his chest, pulling away to his left shoulder, and the armwarmer on his right arm (this is obvs a mirror selfie so assume it's flipped horizontally). I'd love to see how much white there is on the rest of his body, but that will come.

Also: pink nose. (Adorable but again I'm concerned about visibility and contrast from the audience.) Also he has whiskers, unlike some of the other cats!

But, here's the other big Mistoffelees revelation: not only does he change his unitard for his solo, but his wig! And his wig has curled ears! unlike the straight ones in his Quaxo outfit.

It's sometimes happened in the history of the show that Misto will change his wig for his solo outfit, but not very often—I can't remember the last time it happened? Maybe US tour V? And when it does happen it's usually because the solo wig is bigger or more showy or, as in Paris 1989... has glitter. 👀

He sparkles, y'all!

Also, from the glimpses we had of him on opening night, his solo wig seems to be a bit of a return to the 'sideburns Misto' look, as suggested by the wig person setting the sideburns into place here—plus the general shape is much more cryptid than the cute Quaxo look above, so I am a fan of them both existing in the same show. Misto can be both cute and terrifying. 😌 It is his right.

Another thing to note: look, he obviously does descend from above rather than coming in from the wings, and he has a proper harness instead of just putting his foot in a loop of rope! Loop's still there—and one around his wrist too—but he's not going to come crashing down or twist at joint if he slips out of one. So first he steps out of the loop, then releases his wrist, then goes down to unbuckle the thigh straps—while, presumably, the conductor gives him time by drawing out the drum roll— then once he's ready he shouts PRESTO!

Gif is of Roan Pronk, a swing who covers Mistoffelees:

Cats, Stuttgart 04.02.2023 14:30 and 19:30

It’s the remix!

So, first things first: I woke up at four o’clock in the morning to see this wonderful show two times on the same the and one time on the next day. So disclaimer: I was tired and kind of exhausted and stressed out because the actors were going into the audience, so it could be that I saw things differently or my memory broke after being awake for too long. None the less I loved every second I spent there. I wouldn’t see two shows on the same day ever again but I’m glad I did it. Also sorry for the contant time tense switches but I can’t be bothered to descide in which tense I want to write this.

Following text is a mix of both shows. I once sat second row and once first row, so I was able to see the show from both sides, once from left and once from right.

I couldn’t find a cast list, but I think I saw the following actors on this day. ! means I’m certain, ? means I’m not certain and ??? means ???

Alonzo: Sebastian Goffin (!), Bill Bailey: Aaron Hunt (!), Bombalurina: Kayleigh Thadani (!), Gus: Hal Fowler (!), Carbucketty: ????, Cassandra: Erin Gisele Chapman (!), Coricopat: Shakeel Kimotho (!), Demeter: Francis Dee (!), Grizabella: Aimee Hodnett (!), Jellylorum: Anna Campkin (?), Jemima: Lottie Stephen (!), Jennyanydots: Sarah-Marie Maxwell (!), Admetus/Macavity: Aaron Elijah (!), Mungojerrie: Harry Robinson (!), Munkustrap: Russel Dickson (!), Old Deuteronomy: Connor McAllister (???), Mistoffelees: Liam Mower (!!!), Rum Tum Tugger: Daniel Timoney (?), Rumpleteazer: Ella Kemp (!), Skimbleshanks: Freddie Clements (???), Tantomile: Milan Cacacie (!), Victoria: Maiya Hikasa (!).

So, as you see, lot of swings and covers. Additional to this cast Carrie Willis was on stage too. She wore the “BabyGrizz” costume. I will refer to her as Grey Cat when writing this “review”. Different from Vienna I looked a lot at the Cats who were singing at the moment.

Act 1

First cat I saw was Mistoffelees with his green eyes. He was running infront of the stage looking at the audience. This and him getting Old Deut later on are the only two occasions he goes into the audience (aka lava). I was very exhausted but as soon as Demeter stepped on stage I was smiling and happy to be here. During the first number I was mostly looking at who was playing who and I was so happy when Grey Cat stepped out because I was hoping on seeing a female swing.

Bill is best trapez boy.

During the Naming on the Cats Tugger stared directly in my direction. It really seemed like he was directly looking into my eyes. I liked him, very catlike in his staring and movements. The second time I was the man over there (again) and was stared at by Munkustrap and Gus (Munkustrap was so creepy in a good way). 

When everybody was greating each other you could see that Demeter was very stressed out, but she joined the Gumbie Cat song with a bright smile.

I love Jenny in this production. Sarah’s facial expressions are amazing. She portrays Jenny as show cat through and through. The tap dancing seems a little bit more “military” than in Vienna, I think she calls the cockroaches company (like in regement) and tells them to salute.

When Tugger comes in she, Misto and Deme are not happy, but Bomba was really excited and happy, as well as the younger Cats. Admetus couldn’t wait to present the ball to him. Daniel is a very good looking Tugger and I really liked his make up and expressions. He was so much fun. After Bomba’s line she did a follow me gesture with her finger and he did follow her. When he said no, she didn’t seem too sad about it and shrugged it off, joining the dance again with a smile, but Bill none the less laughed at her for being rejected.

(Also, I had one first row ticket and I was so stressed when Tugger went down to pick somebody to dance but I crossed my arms and legs to signal: HELL NO! Also, Daniel seemed very polite when choosing both times and he picked a woman who was there with her partner. He said something to the partner but he talked so fast I couldn’t understand anything even though they were sitting next to me.)

Grizabella enters the stage. Tugger and Bomba are not happy, Munkustrap seems kind of sad, Demeter confused and sad. I love how Victoria and Jemima just walk up to her like it’s the most normal thing to greet her like they greeted every other cat before but the adults react so much, it confuses them.

It also seems like Munkustrap is protecting Grizabella from Bucky, Billy and Admetus. Skimble sits on the left side of the stage, protecting Jemima while Jenny sits with Victoria, Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie on the right side of the stage. She seemed very concerned and checked especially on Teazer and Jerrie, but Munkustrap also walked up to them, took Teazers face in his hands and seemed to check if they were alright with the situation. Rumpleteazer und Mungojerrie were mostly looking down. They didn’t seem to know what to do with the situation.

When Demeter is not allowed to touch Grizabella, Grizabella looks after her but before she starts singing, she turns around to sing at Munkustrap. She seemed angry and sad, not really weak but very powerful.

Bustopher Jones is so much fun. I started with looking at the girls. Jenny and Bomba were acting some of the lyrics out with dancing and gestures. F.ex. Bomba “showed” her leg while singing about the trousers and Jenny was clawing Jelly’s back while singing about his coat. The boys were so much chaos in the meantime. The older ones kind of had to sort the younger ones in a row. Bustopher Jones seemed to be in a hurry and showed Misto is pocket watch, like he was saying I need to go on, but Misto insisted on him staying so he sat down on the top hat.

At this moment the boys and girls are all sorted in two groups. Cori seemed to want to sit with the girls but Jenny gestured him to sit with Bustopher, so he sat before him, Skimble was sitting on his other side, and listened to him. At one time during the song Bustopher Jones “knights” Skimbleshanks with his spoon, and Cori was like, me too, me too, so Bustpher knights him too. Cori was very proud, turned around to Billy and looked at him, like: Look, I was knighted by Bustopher and you weren’t! He was very proud and cocky.

I find the first Macavity scare (pre M&R scare) very interesting. The last four Cats on the stage are Alonzo, the twins and Munkustrap. Alonzo leaves first, Munkustrap seems disapointed. The twins show him which way to go. He takes a deep breath and walks out on the right side of the stage, it seemed like he was getting ready to chase Macavity away while Cori and Tanto leave on the other side.

Mungojerrie and Rumpletezer entrence. The number is fun as always.

Old Deut enters. Tugger and Munkustrap really seemed to like each other during this number. Also, when everybody was rejoicing Demeter had a cute interaction with Bill and she was smiling but then the next Macavity scare happens and suddenly she was stressed again. The cats leave the stage.

Munkustrap is in full on protector mode now. He stands on the right side of the stage, monitoring the audience. There was a cute moment, when Jemima walked up to him and nuzzeled his side as to say, come, nothing to worry, dance with us. For a moment he was still tense but then he walked back to dance and sing with Victoria, Jemima and old Deut. I love the Ball so much. It is so much fun to watch. On one moment Old Deut goes down and walks before the audience which confused me and broke my focus. He kind of blocked the view to the stage which I didn’t like at all, because I love the dance so much. But it is what it is.

This time I looked who was center in the end (in Vienna it was Electra), here it is Jemima! There was so much joy on her face, she smiled a lot.

Also funny, when Griz comes back at the end of the ball, Victoria doesn’t want to leave. Cassandra even passes her when leaving the stage. Victoria really feels for the old lady, she really wants to touch her. Cassandra is not having it.

Grizabella sings her first Memory and then the first Act ends.

Act 2

I personally really didn’t like that they went into the audience because I was always concious of where my legs were so nobody would fall over them, but at the end of the intermission I could hear people laughing from behind. So if you sit further back I think it’s really cool that you get the chance to see them up close too. One time Cassandra passed me on her way to the stage and she was the proudest most beautiful, the other time it was Skimble. Sadly I didn’t see what he did but people laughed. His facial expressions were gold.

We also had the Demeter an Munkustrap flirting with each other at the beginning of the second act. Demeter was very flirty and smiled and him, but at the same time she seemed kind of not yet. Munkustrap was VERY interested in her, but when she showed him her shoulder he proceeded to stare into the audience again. Demeter also looked very sad during the moments of happiness.

To the theatre cat: Deme is now cuddeling with Alonzo, I support. Back in June I already liked Hal Flower a lot. I would categorize his Gus as an entertainer. He is very fun and engaging. I also love looking at the kittens when he sings about the cats these days jumping through the hoop. Cassandra crossed her arms infront of her body and looked so offended. Cori covered over Bucky and put his hands over his years so poor bebe wouldn’t hear the mean old man. Tanto looked at Bombalurina and Bomba looked back at her like: Yeah, he’s talking about you. It is just so much fun.

Also this Gus seems less older and frail (?) than Vienna Gus. I really do like the Pekes and the Pollicles here too. Bill and Rumpleteazer are too early in their part as lead Peke and Pollicle and Gus is just like nonononono and shoos them away again. I love how Munk plays the police dog similiar like he does it in the original choreo. They do not sing the dogs out of every nation part and the part with the scottish dogs. The dogs are very scared of the Rumpus Cat but all in all compared to the older version of the number I think that it lacks dynamic, if that makes sense. They get the costumes and then most of the time they just sit around in them. But what was really funny was Cori throwing a shoe at Mungojerrie in the beginning of the number and Mungojerrie didn’t catch it. Munkustrap was next to him and he looked so done with his chaotic children.

Skimbleshanks was gold. I really liked the actor a lot (I think it was Clements). It’s really hard to put into words but he seemed like somebody who knows that he’s really cool but at the same time doesn’t take himself too serious.

Rumpleteazer tells Billy to misbehave and Cass is quick to tell on him. In the second row Mungojerrie tells a joke to Jemi and Jemi to Victoria and when both girls laugh Mungojerrie tells on them. Very naughty.

When they build the train, Misto is holding the light and Tantomile and Rumpleteazer were sitting next to him. Misto and Tanto waved in my direction and I was so confused for a moment I nearly waved back at them lol.

When Macavity appears at the end Cassandra hides behind Skimble.

I loved the Macavity number today. Dee was absolutly amazing. Acting and dancing wise she seems very torn between yeah I had good times with him and no that cat is disgusting. She smiled and then the smile waniched and the disgust/fear came back. Absolutly amazing. I also love that she frees herself from Macavity. Afterward she covers at the side of the stage and Bomba put an arm over her shoulder. I also loved Bomba, she had more of a deeper more rhaspy voice compared to the principle Bomba.

I love love love the fight so much. Munkustrap is so dramatic. Here Munkustrap and Macavity are the same hight which looks very good when they are dancing next to each other. When Munk was hurt Cori, Jenny and Tanto are by his side but when Demeter comes, they move back so Deme and Munk can have their moment. Bomba is the first one to look after Alonzo but then she gets up to fight Macavity off together with the others.

 During the light scene they were so close to each other it seemed like they would nearly kiss. During Misto they sat next to each other and were holding hands.

I really loved the Misto number again. Liam Mower is amazing. More on him on my other review. Cassandra hides her face behind her hand, she really doesn’t want to be chosen and when she is chosen, she seems kind of defiant (trotzig?) but when Tugger tells her to go back she does.

I was really so confused with them going into the audience but I had two “interactions” with Bomba. First time she “hit” me on the arm and when I was sitting first row she came down and sang to me and the people around me. She really wanted us to know that Mistoffelees is absolutly amazing.

At the end Grizabella comes again. Hodnett doesn’t play her old and broken and more proud. I don’t know if it was the lighting but her eyes were shining as if she had tears in them. She is a really beautiful Griz and I liked her singing a lot but from the acting I prefer Grizabellas who seem really hurt and weak, she seemed to strong and well in my opinion.

The second cat taking her hands after Victoria is Skimble (?). Munkustrap played so well but hard to describe, unsure at first but when Grizabella nearly falls afterwards he supports her with his hands so she doesn’t fall.

Some other things I noticed in no order: 

Admetus is very popular: Vicky, Tanto, Misto, Billy ... they all seemed to really like him.

Towards the end of the play, Cori was sitting on Tugger and Tugger was holding him.

Deme had some cute interactions with Bill and Cass.

All in all, Cori and Tanto are played very young here as well as Mungo and Rumple so the whole group seems more chaotic and youthful, which is really fun. The “kittens” are basically: Jemima, Victoria, Bill and Bucky, Cori, Tanto, Mungo and Rumple as well as Cass and Admetus during some scenes and Tugger at times, so like half of the cast. I don’t know if Liam also tries to play Misto younger but he interacts a lot with the adults (especially Skimble, Munk, Jelly, Gus, ...) and because he is some sort of second in command after Munkustrap he didn’t seem like a kitten to me (though he does have is chaos moments). Munkustrap, Skimble, Jenny, Deme and Bomba all interact a lot with the “kittens”, same for Mistoffelees. Jelly and Gus more stick to each other. Jenny seems to look after Mungo and Rumple a a lot, same for Munkustrap, while Skimble and Misto had a lot of interactions with Jemima (but more to that in my other review). Munkustrap also listens to Tanto and Cori.

While Vienna seemed more like the usual “horny cats” meet stereotype this tour seems more like a family meeting. The “orgy” does not exist here, It’s not even a cuddle pile if you ask me. They more lie next to each other. Tugger, Bomba and Alonzo “toned down the sexyness” a lot compared to Vienna. But I really enjoyed it!  There were some interesting dynamics here, different from Vienna but really fun and positive.

Such a fun idea!

🏠 🏚️ 🧛

🏠 The Hellhounds Next Door

Liam finds himself transfixed, edging closer for a better view, his heart racing as he drinks in the sight of Jordan's chiseled physique.

The mower sputters to a halt, and Jordan pauses to take a drink from the garden hose. But just as he raises the hose to his lips, the flow of water abruptly stopps. Liam watches, eyes widening, as Halwyn emerges from behind the bushes, a mischievous grin on his face. With a quick flick of his wrist, Halwyn releases the kink in the hose, and a spray of water douses Jordan, drenching his already sweat-dampened clothes.

Liam can’t suppress a gasp as he witnesses the unexpected water fight that ensues, Halwyn's infectious laughter ringing out across the yard, feeling a strange mix of fascination and envy, caught in the magnetic and the playful dynamic between the frankly smoking hot married couple.

🏚️ The Horny Phantoms of Hale Manor (Sequel to last year’s The Horny Phantom of the Lighthouse)

Theo's heart swells with excitement and adoration as he walks alongside Liam towards the dilapidated Hale House. The crisp autumn leaves crunch beneath their feet, creating a symphony of sound that echoes through the quiet woods. The afternoon sun illuminates Liam's face, casting an ethereal glow that makes Theo's heart skip a beat.

Theo can’t help but feel incredibly fortunate to have Liam by his side. Not only do they share a love for mysteries and ghost hunting, but their connection goes far beyond that. Liam’s like a missing puzzle piece, completing Theo in ways he never thought possible. Together, they are an unstoppable force, partners in both crime-solving and passion-filled nights.

As they approach the remnants of Hale House, hidden away from civilization in the depths of Beacon Hills, Liam can’t help but marvel at the eerie yet intriguing atmosphere. The charred remains of the house stand defiantly, defying the test of time.

"This place gives me the creeps, but there's something undeniably fascinating about it," Liam muses, his eyes fixed on the two story structure before them.

🧛 Vampire Liam/Hunter Theo

A soft, sinister laugh resonates from the shadows, sending a chill cascading down Theo’s spine. “How’s my favorite Teddy Bear?”

Theo spins around, dagger poised as Liam steps into the flickering light, a figure that embodies both allure and peril. A cigarette dangles from his fingers, its glowing tip a subtle warning of the danger he represents.

Theo swallows hard, his gaze drinking in Liam's presence. The open leather jacket emphasized his broad shoulders, revealing the enticing curves of his well-defined, fur-covered chest, while low-slung jeans clung to his hips in a way that sent Theo's pulse racing.

“Finally decided to show up? I’ve been waiting for you to seek me out. You’ve certainly piqued my interest. It’s been ages since I’ve encountered such a captivating hunter,” Liam's voice rumbles with an intoxicating mix of menace and charm.

Sadly there’s a limit of 10 options otherwise there would be way more, so if your favorite Misto isn’t here sorry :(
