was thinking last night about the concept of a multilingual production of cats and its really just an absolute vibe

like. moment of happiness sung in German, skimbleshanks in Spanish, and gumbie cat in English are my unshakeable choices, but I was also considering mistoffelees in japanese and memory in french. and also the idea of jellicle songs being split so every line is a different language is just soooo good

#alternatively! memory in an alternating rota of languages for each performance of this hypothetical production #this is half based on what I think sounds good and half just the affection I have for different versions ghdncfj #op #look. I saw grease on holiday one time and it was in 4 different languages and I was too young to follow it but it was GREAT #its been aaages since I listened to or watched any non english/german productions vjdncjf gotta get back on it #wanna listen to it in italian again. and japanese (beloved). #also I dont think Ive ever heard it in chinese? an oversight #also gotta listen to it in dutch again. had VERY low opinion of that translation fjdncnf #even my dutch friend who is also a translator thought it was bad lmao
