[the-cat-at-the-theatre-door]

I know that at least two Jellylorums were also Christines in "Phantom" (Marni Raab and Sara Jean Ford)--would you happen to know who some of the others were?

Are you looking specifically for Jellylorums that were previously Christines, or more like the general Phantom - CATS or CATS - Phantom pipeline? I can give you a decent list of both, since we'd be atom smashing two hyperfixations together.

Format: NAME OF PERFORMER - Role in Phantom (Role in Cats)

Sorted by part played in PotO - I won't be naming all locations of productions these individuals were in for the sake of some kind of brevity. Since you asked mainly for Jellylorums who have been Christine, I have taken the liberty to BOLD them for easy reference.

(Note that this is not an extensive list - just a bulky one - I was already getting too long in the tooth haha)

All Things Ankara by Nikki Billie Jean

[love-little-lotte]

“Think of me waking, silent and resigned.”

[glassprism]

Can I just say that I thought you were being maybe sarcastic or smth about Nikki Ankara but oh my lord. Her voice is very heavy and I usually don’t have a problem with vibrato but the way she does it is 😬. And Mark McKerracher was very booming (in a bad way) 😬. They both sounded quite bad in my opinion

Hmm, I can't recall saying many bad things about Nikki Ankara? Nicky Adams, sure, I didn't like her, but Nikki Ankara was right in that zone of "I don't recall much about you". (Though to be honest, that audio of Nikki Ankara has been misnamed as being one of Nicky Adams, or maybe vice-versa, which might have led to people giving more praise to Nicky Adams in her first run than she deserves... anyway, one day I'll do a comparison with some of the other audios of Nikki Ankara and put the matter to rest.) But hey, if you don't like her, that's fine. I'm just not sure I ever made a post with a similar sentiment, ha.

I also don't remember much of Mark McKerracher's performance either; in fact, the only thing I think of at this point when I see his name is this interview where he says that he thinks Raoul killed Christine after the events of the show, which is a... fascinating take. Oh, and he also likens the Phantom to a psychotic serial killer, so that's cool.

JELLICLE QUEENS #1 + #2 - Jennyanydots and Jellylorum

Decided to merge some neighboring prompts for convenience and also because bonus points for cute and underrated wlw ship, hellooo.

Aside from art, I wanna talk about my inspirations for the characters because while some of the them do have my favorite versions of them in the '98 film (for example, it's really hard for me to accept any other Gus Jr or the female part of the kitten squad), I truly dislike how... '98-normative the fandom is, seemingly pushing the narrative that that version is the right version (when there is no such thing), and I often seek out many versions when designing a "tailor-made" one.

Admittedly, Jenny is one of my least favorite designs because her make-up is either very busy (with the dots and stripes and all) or not looking much like Jenny - though her vivid personality more than makes up for anything I may not like about the make-up! But if I had to choose, aside from Susie which is admittedly quite nice but everyone already knows that, it would be Joanna Lee Martin and Amy Louise Whittle, and Dani Goldstein for the costume - I LOVE the costume.

Now Jelly... THERE ARE SO MANY VERSIONS OF JELLY I LOVE! It helps that I find the sole concept of her makeup very appealing (as you may have noticed, I tend to prefer the subtler designs instead of those with many details), so the only variables are the execution and the actress's face.

The one that takes the cake for me is Celia Graham. She looks mature enough AND gorgeous, and I like her body suit.

Here are some other, honorary Jellylorums:

Barbara Obermeier, Nikki Ankara, Francesca Benton-Stace

[soulsoaringphan]

Interesting video from the London production appeared on YouTube recently. Interesting footage. I can’t decide whether Christine is Megan Kelly or Nikki Ankara. Raoul looks like Alasdair Harvey. Phantom should be Simon Bowman but I have no idea. Others saying it could be James Graeme. Anyways, it’s cool to see something from this period!

Petinizle Tatil Hayal Değil: Evcil Hayvan Kabul Eden Oteller

Köpek Kedi

06-08-19

Tatil planları hiç şüphesiz ki herkes için yılın en güzel zamanlarının gelişini müjdeliyor. Fakat hayvan dostları için tatil planı, ne yazık ki en sevdikleri dostlarından ayrı geçirecekleri günleri de temsil ediyor. Buna karşın kediniz veya köpeğinizle tatil yapabilmek, evcil hayvan kabul eden oteller sayesinde artık imkansız değil! Ülkemizde her geçen gün sayıları artan bu oteller, hayvanseverlerin kedi ve köpeklerinden ayrı kalmalarının önüne geçiyor.

Peki bu oteller hangileri? Binlerce otel arasından sizin tatil rotanızda bulunan ve evcil hayvanınızı da kabul edecek olanı bulmak elbette kolay değil. Fakat imkansız da değil. Bu doğrultuda, pet hayvanınızla birlikte tatile gidebileceğiniz başlıca otelleri sizin için derleyen Ankara Veteriner Kliniği Vetrium’un önerilerini dikkate alarak tatil planlarınızı şekillendirebilirsiniz!

En İyi Dostunuzla Tatile Gidebileceğiniz Evcil Hayvan Kabul Eden Oteller

Artık tatil dönemi geldiğinde çok daha fazla mutlu olabilirsiniz. Çünkü sizin için listelediğimiz evcil hayvan kabul eden oteller arasından kedinizle veya köpeğinizle konaklamayı tercih ettiğiniz tesiste kalabileceksiniz. İşte en iyi dostunuzla gönül rahatlığıyla tatil yapmanıza imkan tanıyan otellerden bazıları…

Ankara Swissotel

Genellikle iş seyahatleri için sıklıkla tercih edilen Ankara Swissotel, beş yıldız konforunda hizmet veren bir oteldir. Merkezi konumu ile oldukça kolay bir şekilde ulaşılabilen otel, evcil hayvan kabul eden oteller listesinde yerini alıyor. Turistik ziyaretlerinizde veya iş seyahatlarinizde evcil hayvanınızla birlikte yüksek standartlarda konaklama hizmeti almanızı garantileyen Ankara Swissotel’de kaldığınız süre boyunca ihtiyaç duyabileceğiniz tüm veterinerlik hizmetleri için Ümitköy veteriner kliniklerinden Vetrium’un profesyonel ekibine başvurabilirsiniz.

Assos Dove Hotel Resort & Spa

Yaz tatillerinin uğrak yerlerinden Assos, Çanakkale’ye bağlı olup muhteşem bir doğaya sahiptir. Adından da anlaşılacağı üzere Assos’ta bulunan Assos Dove Hotel Resort & Spa da evcil hayvanınızla birlikte denizin, kumun ve güneşin tadını çıkarabilmenize olanak sağlayan tesislerden biri. Eğer yolunuz Kadırga Koyu’na düşüyorsa, bu otelin tüylü dostunuzla tatil yapmak için ideal bir seçenek olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.

Köpeğinizin tatile uyum sağlayabilmesinde önemli rol oynayan eğitimi hakkında bilgi sahibi olmak için Köpek Eğitimi Rehberi adlı içeriğimize göz atmanızı tavsiye ederiz.

Büyükada Çankaya Otel

İstanbul’un gözbebeği, Prens Adaları’nın en büyüğü olan Büyükada’da konumlandırılan Büyükada Çankaya Otel, petinizle keyifli bir tatil geçirebilmeniz için biçilmiş kaftan. Üstelik ada sakinlerinin sokaklarında beslediği yüzlerce kedi ve köpeği gördükten sonra Büyükada’nın tüylü dostunuzla gitmek için mükemmel rotalardan biri olduğunu da düşünebilirsiniz.

Club Dedeman Bodrum

Evcil hayvanınızla Bodrum tatili yapmayı planlıyorsanız, Club Dedeman Bodrum’da konaklayabilirsiniz. Ancak otelde tesisin politikası gereği yalnızca 10 kilogram veya daha hafif ağırlıktaki hayvanlar kabul ediliyor. Bu nedenle eğer büyük cins bir petiniz varsa, otel rezervasyonu yapmadan önce bu detayı değerlendirmenizde büyük fayda var.

Club Prive By Rixos Belek

Tatil tercihiniz güney taraflarından yana ise Antalya’nın popüler tatil beldelerinden Belek’te konumlandırılan Club Prive By Rixos Belek’i göz önünde bulundurabilirsiniz. Böylece evcil hayvanınızla lüks bir tatil deneyim ide yaşama fırsatı yakalayabilirsiniz. Fakat bu tesisin de en fazla 8 kilogram ağırlığındaki kedi ve köpekleri kabul ettiğini belirtmeden geçmeyelim. Ayrıca evcil hayvanınızla konaklamalarınız için ayrı bir ücret ödemeniz gerekiyor.

Nikki Beach Resort & Spa

En çok tercih edilen tatil bölgelerinden Bodrum’un Torba beldesinde yer alan Nikki Beach Resort & Spa, oldukça kapsamlı ve konforlu bir tatil imkanı sunuyor. 5 yıldızlı hizmet veren bu tesis, Bodrum’da görülmesi gereken birçok yere yakın olmasının yanı sıra mükemmel manzarası ile de misafirlerinin beğenisini kazanıyor.

Diğer yandan evcil hayvan kabul eden otellerden biri olarak yer verdiğimiz bu tesiste petinizle konaklamanız için birtakım koşulları kabul etmeniz gerektiğini belirtmekte yarar var. Bu doğrultuda, tatil planı yaptığınız sırada otel ile iletişime geçerek bu konuda bilgi almanızı ve ihtiyaçlarınızı yetkililere bildirerek gerekli ayarlamaların siz tatile başlamadan yapılmasını sağlamanızı tavsiye ederiz.

Novotel Konya

Turistik amaçla veya iş nedeniyle Konya’yı ziyaret edecekseniz ve evcil hayvanınızla gidebileceğiniz bir otel arıyorsanız, Novotel Konya ihtiyaçlarınıza yanıt verebilir. Belli bir ek ücret karşılığında petinizle Konya’nın tadını çıkarabilir, otele yürüme mesafesindeki turistik yerleri gezebilirsiniz. Hatta şehirdeki konaklamanız sırasında Anadolu mutfağının nadide örneklerini tadarak ziyaretinize lezzet de katabilirsiniz.

Richmond Pamukkale Thermal

Hem pamuk gibi manzarası hem de şifalı termal sularıyla ülkemizin önde gelen turizm yörelerinden Pamukkale’yi ziyaretiniz sırasında Richmond Pamukkale Thermal’de konaklayabilirsiniz. Tam pansiyon konseptli otelde diğer otellerdeki hizmetlerin birçoğunu bulabilmeniz mümkün. Ayrıca evcil hayvanların da kabul edildiği otelde tüylü dostunuzun konforu için bahçe katındaki odalarda kalmanız sağlanıyor. Bu sayede kedinizin veya köpeğinizin de sizinle birlikte doğanın içinde mutlu bir tatil geçirmesi söz konusu olabiliyor.

Taksim International Abant Palace

Karadeniz’in göz bebeği Bolu’nun doğal güzelliklerini keşfetmek ve bu keşif sırasında evcil hayvanınızdan ayrı kalmamak istiyorsanız Taksim International Abant Palace, bu anlamda ihtiyaç duyduğunuz tesis hizmetini verebilir. Ancak kedinizin veya köpeğinizin size tahsis edilen odada değil, evcil hayvanlar için tesis tarafından yapılmış küçük kulübelerde konaklaması sağlanıyor. Bu kulübeler ise otelin bahçesinde bulunuyor.

Ek olarak, evcil hayvanınızın gıda ve diğer ihtiyaçlarını da sizin karşılamanız bekleniyor. Başlangıçta dezavantaj gibi görünse de küçük dostunuzun ihtiyaçlarını en iyi sizin bildiğinizi göz önünde bulundurmakta yarar var.

The Cappadocia Hotel

Türkiye’de mutlaka görülmesi gereken yerlerden biri olan Kapadokya’yı gezmek ve Nevşehir ilinin diğer güzelliklerini evcil hayvanınızla birlikte görmek istiyorsanız The Cappadocia Hotel’i tercih edebilirsiniz. 2015 yılında hizmete başlayan bu tesis, Ürgüp bölgesinde bulunmakta olup keyifli bir tatil deneyimi yaşamanız için gerekli pek çok ihtiyacınıza da yanıt verebilmektedir. Üstelik evcil hayvanınızla konaklamanızdan ek bir ücret talep edilmediği için daha ekonomik bir tatil yaşayabilmeniz de mümkün.

All Things Ankara pop up 2018 campaign, fashion by Nikki Billie Jean

[glassprism]

I genuinely enjoyed both of those think of me's you posted, and kind of liked Nicky Adam's cadenza, so I am just curious if you can go more in depth as to why you don't think either of them as Christine's? Also if you know what the general consensus was and is about them? Just curious! Thanks so much!

Katie Knight Adams’s voice was just very unsuited for the role, especially in her first run. She very audibly struggled reaching the high notes (her high E was painfully thin, and in her ‘Think of Me’, it should be clear that she is singing a lowered version of that high note, and cuts it off very quickly), she had an extremely noticeable break between her head and chest voice, and she would throw in a belt at random moments. I’m not a big fan of belt in a Christine, but several have done it well by using it sparingly and doing it at a particularly big moment. However, Katie Knight Adams would just do it in whatever spots she seemed to be struggling on.

Her acting seems to have been decent in her first run, but when she came back for her second run, it was bad. Her voice had improved quite a bit by then, though she did still sound a bit strained in spots, but she over-acted massively and would pull the funniest orgasm faces in ‘Music of the Night’. It was particularly bad to watch her next to Earl Carpenter, who was very nuanced and detailed in his acting.

Nicky Adams was another who just struggled as well; if you listen to her cadenza and compare it to, well, virtually any other London Christine, you can tell that almost all the notes have been lowered (which is perhaps why she switched to the Broadway cadenza later). I’ve heard she was better in her first run in the UK tour, but I’ve never found any audio that is definitively her, so I can’t compare (there was one that was passed around as being her, but may very well be Nikki Ankara as Christine, which has caused some confusion). I have vague memories of her, but it’s pretty similar to Katie Knight Adams above: lots of lowered notes, lots of struggles to reach those top notes. She was also pretty non-emotive, and I remember being extremely bored with her Christine even in the ‘Final Lair’.

I think both actresses do have their fans, especially Katie Knight Adams who was the principal and had a second run a couple years later, but for the most part, the consensus seems to be that they were wholly miscast. The few reviews I’ve seen of Nicky Adams also confirmed that her acting was very dull. On some of the old forums, I remember seeing reviewers saying that, between Katie Knight Adams as the principal and Nicky Adams as the alternate, the understudy Christine ended up having the best voice of all three.

Welp, that was pretty negative, but they are pretty much my least favorite Christines, ha. Both women tried, and Katie Knight Adams in particular looked great in wig and costume, but they’re not anyone I would want to watch or listen to anytime soon.

"In All Things, Many Work As One."

Tereneh Mosely is a Pittsburg based designer who has been collaborating with the Olorgesailie Maasai Women Artisans of Kenya since 2008. Plant based textiles and indigenous adornment is the aesthetic foundation.

Her main inspiration is working with Indigenous women artisans. Four key lessons are: Material. Matter. Manner. Meaning

- The importance of material as part of a universal system of creating. 

-The elements needed to create and its connections to all of us. 

-The manner of production; do not harm the connected ecosystem. 

-Textile arts and how we adorn the body has meaning as well as sociocultural significance. 

Her goals are to create a global creative community of Indigenous artisans and to redefine sustainability to include human beauty and creativity as well as nature’s.

"Looking at indigenous cultures and people of color … looking at communities who are ignored – there’s so much value, knowledge and information within those communities. We have to sustain that knowledge and each other or else there’s no point in moving forward. 

[..] Sustainability is two-fold: 1) sustaining nature and 2) sustaining human beings, humanity and human creativity. We have to make sure that we sustain each other and ourselves so that we are looking out for how things are made, why things are made where they're made and who makes them.

 It’s impossible not to be inspired by a lot of different things. Indigenous design is timeless and there’s a reason why designers all over the world keep reaching to indigenous populations for inspiration. The problem is when people don’t give creative credit and economic benefit to cultures who created it.

There are 36 women in our Collective.. and fairtrade is a creative business partnership where all the women benefit. My Goal is to have or create an Indigenous Quality Label that says something like, “The creation of this design by a Maasi Collective … This has not been appropriated” LOL.  I want a stamp of approval or Intellectual innovative seal! There needs to be some way to give creative credit and economic development to the indigenous people.” - Tereneh Mosely [x]
