Cats Warsaw first reaction thoughts part three: Memory through Macavity fight

Memory:

- I really do love this actress’s voice, I can’t find literally any flaws in her performance

- I feel like Griz needs to look more messed up. the costumes in this are definitely grunge-influenced, so Grizabella doesn’t look particularly ratty or anything compared to anyone else. Rub some dirt on that lady!

- I feel like they’re really playing up the “old Deut and Griz have a history”. That’s alright but it tends to have weird connotations when you think about it for a while.

Moments of Happiness:

- Deuteronomy has such a rich timbre, he’s singing the hell out of this song.

- wait why did I never notice the Skimbleshanks leitmotif in the middle of this song before— what does that mean??

- when they all start singing Memory is a really beautiful moment, the staging of all the cats spread out across the two levels makes it feel like a really personal moment for everyone involved

- the entire pit deserves a raise of 1,000,000 dollars each. Particularly the principal violinist but I don’t pick favorites

Gus the Theater Cat:

- there is a sack on the ground. What is in the sack. The sack says Gus on it. What is going on, is that the growltiger costume inside the sack? Jellylorum gestures to it on the “firefrorefiddle” line but she might not have said that?

- Jellylorum is giving CEO and I am living for it

- GUS IS SO PATHETIC OH NO I LOVE HIM. His costume is fantastic, I love the big collar, honestly that paired with the long wig he kind of looks like Broadway revival Grizabella, haha.

- it’s wrong to stereotype. That being said this Gus is gay as hell.

- all the kittens gathering round listening to him!!!!!!! My heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Growltiger’s Last Stand:

- this set!!!! I want to personally congratulate the designers and build crew because I am so impressed with all the moving parts! The boat is really transportive (no pun intended). In addition, the use of the cyc throughout the show has been really clever.

- Yknow it sucks that this number is racist because musically it’s so good—

- GRIDDLEBONE. QUEEN. Channeling Ariana Grande with that hair

- it’s really thoughtful to have translated subtitles for In Tepida Notte. I love this section once again why did the number have to be super racist :(

- who is the cat doing this narration? Normally isn’t it just the whole ensemble doing it?

- the transition back to the theater setting was flawless!

- oh my god Gus holding the costume and Jelly comforting him— I’m tearing up 😭😭😭

Skimbleshanks:

- what an entrance!!

- wow they really took the tempo up, it’s good though

- whoops I assumed that Skimble was ensemble Gus— oopsie

- loving the “human scenery”, it’s not coming off as tacky or unprofessional at all! /gen

- Skimble is proof that mullets can be professional

- the ensemble hanging off the fence is giving Matilda

- OMG THE FENCES ARW A TRAIN I’m so obsessed with everything this set pulls off

Macavity:

- damn Macavity stole Misto’s entrance. The whole kidnapping was very smooth!

- Demeter has very good movement, I’m impressed how even she’s keeping her voice while she dances

- Bombalurina… 😳

- these cats are lesbians but that’s not news

- the final chorus is giving Chicago and I’m living for it. Wow I only have two sentence structures huh.

- these singers are seriously talented.

Macavity Fight:

- I can’t see shit :/

- ugh they did the Demeter jump rope

- all the tumbling is seriously impressive!

- not a fan of the lighting, liked everything else!

- everything was really smooth

The epic conclusion in the next part!
