#and while the vest seems to fit somewhat snugly on kris' shoulders on paweł it seems to be looser

[per-the-jellicle-magician]

Shout-out to Cats Warsaw costume department for trying so hard to make Alonzo and Michał's Munk look bigger than Kris' Misto, while at the same time trying to make Misto look smaller than them

All that while the 3 actors were the same built and around the same height

And for somehow somewhat succeeding

#my theory as to why warsaw misto wears a vest is to make his shoulders look smaller #i think similar thought may have went into the wig also cuz hey they got smaller guys to play misto and poof #wig is suddenly the narrow style warsaw prefers #and while some other characters wigs changed slightly in colour and shape in the 3 years warsaw was running #only misto got change like that #i don't know the life expectancy of a costume but i would guess that misto's vest was the same the entire time #like they made however many for kris and then just used them for everyone after him #my resoning being it looks identical and they most likely didn't have the budget to remake parts of costumes for 2007 run #only costume they for sure remade was bomba's and probably victor's and it shows #cats was on for only like 3 months and only 4-6 times a week and they were making phantom which cost a lot more tan cats #there's a slight chance they could have been using kris's whole costume sans wig for paweł #i have no proof of that besides it looks absolutely identical and also in some photos seems to be just slightly too big for paweł #chest and arm areas just look slightly baggy #and while the vest seems to fit somewhat snugly on kris' shoulders on paweł it seems to be looser #just loose theories #gotta make more research before i make actual post about it #cats the musical #cats warsaw #munkustrap #alonzo cats #mistoffelees #warsaw guy talks
