colorful cats nonrep redesign -- some info under the cut
i finally pulled together my two-year-old colorful designs--and filled in the rest of the cast--so i can finally share!
it's a bit underbaked: i don't have a setting in mind, other than perhaps a colorfully painted junkyard, but color in general would be very, very prominent in the show--with grizabella having lost all her color except for her one final pink heart, and macavity's fight sequence ideally being illuminated only by a set of sodium lamps--causing the entire stage to appear monochromatic--taking color away from all the other cats until mister mistoffelees returns it in his number.
overall the main point was to introduce bright or unnatural colors to all the cats; I really liked how mexico '18 included a bit of pink and a few bright colors in their designs, so I wanted to go a lot further with that, and use the london costume style
later on i would like to expand on the designs since i obv used the same silhouette for everyone when there SHOULD be some variation in the wig shapes and shoulder-fluffies placement, etc, but i definitely didn't have the time or energy for that this time around lol
note: the 'chorus' cats are all my pre-existing ocs except for tabbyswing!

Tecklenburg is my favorite non-replica (and maybe my favorite production ever) so I drew some of the Katzen :)

More fanart for my favorite non-rep! The pose and background were inspired by pics of the iconic Macavity pose. I love how this turned out and am very proud of it.
Please do not tag as romantic ship.

OK, but what if there's a non-replica of cats where there's only characters that names appear in the pomes. So you would have cat Morgan and Lilly LaRosa. Electra would have Jemima's role .

Some promotional images from Cats at the CPAC Musical Theatre.

Production description undercut (x)
Cats is based on T.S.Eliots 1939 poetry Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, the songs in the musical consists of Eliot's verse set to music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
On September 3, 1939, Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies announced that the country was at war with Germany, a sombre moment for a nation still reeling from the losses of World War I. Despite this, the war still felt remote to those on the home front – that is, until December 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and began advancing through Southeast Asia. Suddenly, the threat of invasion placed Australia directly in the line of fire, as was evidenced by the bombing of Darwin on February 19. Enter Melbourne, where only a quarter of street lamps were lit and even electric trains had reduced lighting. The city's "brown out" period was a response to the danger of air raids, and it had a profound impact on daily life. In this production, amidst this tumultuous time, one unique story stands out – the inhabitants of Melbourne’s Jellicle Cats and the threat of war upon them. This assemblage of cats must decide who will journey to the ‘heavyside layer’ in a process of selection for each nominated cat to be considered to be reborn into a new life. In this newly reimagined production, our "Cats" tell this tale, set against the backdrop of wartime Melbourne in 1942, with a nod to the social changes brought on by the war effort, post-war reconstruction, migration, and the reintegration of returned servicemen into the local economy. The musical features no dialogue, only music, and provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Australian history.

Rating (some of) the Il Sistina costumes!
1: Jerrie and Teazer
Tumblr media
I’m a sucker for when M+R are absolutely identical so I love these! Teazer’s (left) wig looks a little off but other than that they look fantastic! 9/10 gender
2: Macavity
Tumblr media
Not to be a 2019 hater but this is everything that Idris Elba Macavity tried to be. The drama, the camp, the mustache! it’s simultaneously very stupid looking and the coolest thing ever. T boy swag to the maxx 15/10
PS I’m in love with how there’s lights underneath his hat brim so you can see his face it’s genius
3: Jemima or Sillabub? I admit I don’t know which name is being used— both are on the wiki
Tumblr media
She’s adorable! I love that they kept the magenta and black and white color scheme but completely reinvented the pattern. She looks like a little clown (that’s a compliment I like clowns), and the bangs on the wig are especially kitten-y. 12/10
4: Skimbleshanks
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think his song costume is absolutely flawless!! Love that they took inspiration from 2019 with the tapping. I think the wig looks a little out of proportion without the muttonchops and hat, but overall his chorus costume gives the effect of an awkward teenage Skimbleshanks IMO. Song costume gets a 2000/10 chorus gets 8/10
5: Gus and Jelly
Tumblr media
The best pictures of them were together <3. Anyway I love how fluffy jelly is, she’s just all-around adorable. Best friend energy. Gus reminds me of my old cat Pepino who sadly passed away but was also a crotchety drama queen. The fabric on his coat and everything just makes him look so huggable. Both of them 12/10. As a matched set they are priceless.
6: mistoffelees
Tumblr media
I LITERALLY CANNOT SAY A SINGLE NEGATIVE THING ABOUT HIM. THE MAKEUP THE BOWTIE THE FLUFFIES again sorry for hating on 2019 but he’s doing the tuxedo and top hat correctly. ♾/10 can’t be beat
I’ve got some more but my phone is begging me not to add any more images. I’ll put them in a reblog of this 👍

i'm just saying that, as a cats fan, if i knew absolutely nothing about "ride the cyclone", i would have fully assumed that this screenshot was from a very funky local non-rep production of cats

It apparently took place from January 27 to Febuary 11 2008 in Geelong (I think in Ausralia?) according to one of the above articles.
