Jennyjennydots!

Double Jenny, for final matinee shenanigans in the 1991–92 season of the London production (25 March 1992). Beth Robson (main Jenny) and Samantha Biddulph (Jenny 2) came up with some naughty last-minute fun.

Obviously not too last-minute, though: everyone knows what they're doing, and the Gumbie trio changed one of the lines. "And she's even created a beetles' tattoo" has changed to "And she's even.... [something???] ... for you!"

Guy-Paul de St Germain is Mistoffelees, and when I posted this on insta he confirmed the identity of the Jennys - and must have tipped them off, since they then turned up in the thread and added their own comments. They were both technically swings for this season, but the first cast Jenny (Louisa Shaw) had, according to Guy-Paul's encyclopaedic memory, left the show before the end of the run to move to Les Misérables. (Screenshots below the cut.)

To be clear: the tap duet/battle with Mistoffelees was an established thing at the time, as was having Misto do most of the singing that now goes to Munkustrap. So Beth and Guy-Paul do that bit as per usual, while Samantha pretends to 'conduct' the beetles in the background.

Beth Robson, by the way, was dance captain for the 1998 film, and there's a brief glimpse of her covering Jenny in the 'Glamour cat' reprise at the end of Act I (pulling Jemima away from Griz and hissing at her).

Stex Appreciation Month Day 10 - Wrench

Miwako Montani - Japan/Australia Tour 1990

Marc McFayden - Bochum 2007

Kate Alexander - London 2000

Natasha Rannalls - Las Vegas 1993

Favourite song?

Probably No comeback or AC/DC.

Favourite actor?

Samantha Biddulph, Miwako Montani, or Marc McFayden.

Favourite ship?

I don’t have one yet D:

Favourite thing?

I think Wrench's costume is so cool and I love that she's different to the other characters. She's a tough bitch and she's not overly feminine. Also I love that male and female performers have played Wrench which is fun.

Something you’d change?

I would love to see more of her :(

Random headcanon?

She loves what she does and she's sort of that 'mum' friend? Like she makes sure everyone is fed and watered and she’s always concerned about her friend’s wellbeing and such.

Unpopular opinion?

She deserves more stage time like we don't know an awful lot about her. Also she's super underrated :(

Another addition to my CATS programme and brochure collection is one from the London production in November 1990.

John Partridge is Alonzo here, his second year as the character, and Steven Wayne is George/Rumpus Cat as he was in basically every other programme I own.

Steven was in the Original London Cast in 1981 as Admetus, doubled as Rumpus Cat in 1982/83 onwards, played Mungojerrie for most of 1986, and then settled in as George/Rumpus Cat from October 1986 until October 2000, all while being a dance captain. That is some dedication! Too bad he did not stay for another 18 months, where he could have closed out the Original London production in May 2002, being present the entire time in the cast.

Also featured is Samantha Biddulph, a future Tantomile for many years in London, and Beth Robson, the other dance captain with Steven, future dance captain for CATS (1998), and the next Tantomile after Samantha in London, both as Swings.

As I have said before, these programmes are insights into CATS history.

We head to the seaside with Brighton’s Josie Millard for an intimate look inside the growing female skater scene. With filmmaker Ophelia Wynne we step into the 17-year-old Brightonian’s world as she recounts her journey from stealing her brother’s unused skateboard from the garage, to falling in love with the subculture, breaking into schools after dark to skate, and hitting the streets in search of adventure.
