I can't believe I forgot to post that the production of Cats that I am in (as Etcetera) has opened!
If you are in the Minnesota region come see the Heritage Theatre Company's production of Cats May 2nd-18th Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm in the Maplewood Community Center right off of White Bear Avenue.
For tickets and more information go to this website

I hope you'll come:)
A bunch of us made our own costumes and I'll post pictures of them later (many of the audience thought they were rentals they looked so good), but come see for yourself;)

Skimbleshanks!! |

Hey kittens!
I go to Northern Kentucky University- and this spring semester we are putting on Cats- and I must admit, it's the show of a lifetime. I didn't realize until now that I am incredibly obsessed with this musical- and even though I practiced and trained for the past year to make it into the show, sadly I didn't- but I did make most of the costumes and did most of the makeup!
(side note- Skimbleshanks doesn't have his little shoes on in one picture, and some other pieces of costumes were missing- most of these pictures were taken at dress rehearsal while we were furiously sewing... hee!)
Here are some pictures from our production, which is currently running. I am so proud of the entire cast and crew- I hope you enjoy the pictures, and please, tell me what you think!!
( More this way!!! )

For those of you who have done Cats or built costumes, which unitards would you recommend or to avoid? I'm in a community theatre producion (Etcetera/Electra) and we have to provide our own unitard (which they will paint/dye) and I'm trying to find the least expensive option (as we also need to buy makeup and wigs too)...
Feedback would be great!

Mister Mistoffelees // CATS |

Well, when I first turned up here in December, I was planning for my audition for Cats!
I really wanted the part of Etcetera, but I only got chorus. I was heartbroken at first, but now I'm happy because I can be my own cat. (For the record, my character is Bumblejuju. Hehehehe. :3 I know some people look down at OCs but... It's for the stage, gimme a break)
So I decided to fill you in on how it's going! We don't have costumes or anything yet, so I can't really give you any super cool pictures.
Our cast is... quite different if you're used to the movie, like me. For instance...
Our Munkustrap, Mungojerrie, and Macavity are all played by girls. Our Rumpus Cat was too, but our teacher cut Pekes and the Pollicles out because he thinks it's Andrew Lloyd-Webber's "worst song ever"... (Something I can't agree with him on)
Our Tugger's personality is perfect! He's only 5'5" though! Hahaha. He thrusts right in my face at one point... (-squeals to herself-) Our Skimbleshanks is definitely perfect, though. He's really adorable and acts JUST like him!
In ours, the main singers are Munkustrap, Skimbleshanks, and Alonzo. The first of the two have extensive acting and singing experience and our Alonzo is actually releasing an album soon! All of our cast is really great, though.
Once I take some pictures of people, I'll show you guys (:

Hi there!
I'm looking for a fanfiction a friend sent me a couple of years ago. I lost it and I really want it back. Unfortunately I can't remember the title nor the author.
It's about Macavity's daughter (whose name is in the title). One day a ghost or whatever appears and makes him having sex with his own daughter. She gets pregnant, runs away and the ghost tells her what to do. I can't remember well.
And sometimes the story turns to the Jellicles where a new cat appears which happened to be Mac's daughter's best friend. She gets engaged with Tumble, I think.
Does anyone know which story I mean and where I can find it? Please?

Wake Up Call |

Hi everyone! I'm AKAtheCentimetre, I'm new 'round here.
I've been a fan of CATS for years - it was my favorite video when I was little, and I recently rediscovered it and naturally became completely obsessed again. I saw a live performance a few years ago when it was touring in Portland, Maine, but I don't know which cast it was. My favorite character has always been Munkustrap, but I love everyone and everything to do with this show!
So I'm not sure if this is allowed in this community (if it isn't, feel free to holler), but I recently started writing a human!CATS fanfic I was wondering if I could share. It might end up being very long, and I'm certainly having fun writing it! If you want to read it, here it is...
Title: The Junkyard
Rating: T (for Teen, PG/PG-13)
Summary: College junior Demeter Felina finds herself working at The Junkyard, a well-known homeless shelter in Boston. What and who she finds there will change her life forever.
Thanks!

Greetings all,
I come bearing gifts, or peace offerings, whatever its suits you to call 'em; in any case there are thirty-six of them and they're free to a good home. Credit is appreciated but not required, though I would like you to drop me a comment to let me know if you swipe some!
( You might guess my favourites pretty quick from this. )
My name is Xof, by the way (or Zof, occasionally, and sometimes referred to as Hoi You) and I'm a big fan. Recently saw the show live for the first time and my long-buried obsession is back in full force (yeow!). Personal LJ is completely locked, by the way, but feel free to drop me a hi, and if you'd like to be added just let me know, I don't bite. (No, really!)
Cheers all, hope to see you about the place =D

| Spotty seeks a new home |
[03 Jan 2008|10:58am] |
The darling catsuit "Spotty" seeks a new wearer. It is a well behaved and evenly tempered yet playful and cheeky design. It now seeks that loving caretaker that will proudly let it come out to play. It is a size large and says it will fit someone who is about 5ft6" - 5ft8". even the ones with curves will look lovely in it. Spotty is still in need of a tail and fluff, but that is on the workbench and is almost done by now.
There is an adoption fee, and those interested can contact me for a private saleprice. I promised the catsuit a good happy home. ;-)
More of "Spotty" here!

My friend (who doesn't like CATS much) and I had a conversation about bad fanfic and keeping characters... in character. And then I went on about how Etcy shouldn't ever be all depressed around Tugger!
I originally made it a much longer comic but it just wasn't funny enough to bother. So, you get the last page with Tugger/Etcy goodness. If you don't like the pairing don't grump at me. <3
I hope this is allowed!!

All Of This Past - Sarah Bettens |

Hello!
I'm new here. Well, I think it has been six months ago I started watching this community, but I actually never posted something here. So little time, so much to do, yes also useless but amusing things, but OK. Nevermind.
Short introduction: You may call me Debby, I'm 19 years old and I live in Belgium, the Dutch-speaking part. I adore Cats! :'D That's not a big surprise, I suppose...
It all started when I heard some songs and discussed it with a friend. I bought the DVD because I was interested, but also because I know the one who's playing Jemima from other productions I'd seen (I love musicals) and I wanted to see her perform in Cats! It's strange when I think of it: most people know her because of Cats and I don't.
Yeah, I love Cats from the beginning till the end and I want to see the show live before I die. I've been dying of frustration because I didn't had a chance to see the show which was touring in The Netherlands this year: exams, money, transport... There was always something wrong. It makes me angry again... But I will see it live! No matter what! In English if possible ^^
My favorite cat? It depends. At this moment it is Skimbleshanks, but I can't really tell why. Rumpleteaser, Jemima and Rum Tum Tugger (he's just amazing ^^) are my overall favorites.
Before I go, I also have some icons to post here ^^
I made them a long time ago, but because of problems with the computer, I couldn't share them until now.
All I ask is to credit and not to hotlink =)
  
All 22 are over here ^^
Merry Christmas!

So I just joined here and I'm already requesting something!
I know this has been asked before but the links are down now so,
Could someone upload the DVD version of the music? I mean don't get me wrong I love the play versions but my favorite has to be the sound of the DVD versions. Lol I'm watching my VHS right now just to hear it, I would love it even more if it could be on my mp3 player.
Any help even just a couple of songs would be lovely and will have many thanks along the way XD.

| Recordings? |
[14 Dec 2007|11:44pm] |
i'm new here...HEY!
I know its a bit strange to be asking for this straight away but...
My 6th form is putting on a performance of cats and i'm lucky enough to be put in the cast. Eep! *screams out of happiness lol*, Anyways, we've been told that we need to find a cast recording for it as they cant provide all of us with one so....
Does anybody have one? Preferably the movie or original london recording, but any will do =]
I really need the help lolzz xx
Thankies in advance xoxo =]
