I'm having huge issues identifying the characters in Warsaw, do you have a list of which characters are kittens?

Hi! Figuring out who is who in Warsaw is always hard in the beginning XD

Kittens are: Victoria, Dyzio [Quaxo], Fraszka, Sierściuch, Turbo Ptyś, Menello Bianco/Filutek, Brali Daley, Bili Daley, I Tak Daley [Etcetera], Klaps [Tumblebrutus], Elektra [Electra], Mamrotka, Promyczek [Jemima], Victor and Kara Kotek [Carbucketty], with the last 3 being more on the teen side

As for their looks, most of them are here:

(Character pointed as Raptus Zuch [the Rumpus Cat] here is Tumble)

In the left photo Kara Kotek, in the right Victor

Mamrotka (left) and Turbo Ptyś (right)

And Bili Daley

Hope this helps!!!

A list of named swings and such

So. I know one of these already exists. BUT. I'm doing another. because i can

Old London Swings (pre-Revival, mostly late 80s and the 90s) Greycat/Hysperia/NBQ (nameless brown queen)- Greycat was sometimes known as NBQ, it depended on her costume, which ranged from grey to tan. Hysperia is a different cat who has sometimes been called NBQ by fans even though she isn't Greycat/NBQ AJ- "Almost Jemima". Female kitten Tabbygirl- more mature queen (usually covered adult roles) Patches- male kitten, often resembles Admetus Calico- male or female Caramel- male, looks very similar to Victor Victor- originated here but used in productions worldwide

Post-revival London Swings Electra (also Lightning Ellectra) George Pouncival Victor

Early Broadway Swings (80s and 90s) Spike- young male George- young male AJ- young female Greycat- female Carbucketty- male kitten, later cut when Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer became actual cats and not trash puppets Babygriz's design was also used as a swing

US Tour Swing Spike- different design. male.

China 2012 Grumbuskin Jemima Oliva Murad Quaxo Noilly Prat Latter four have since been used in other productions

Gothenburg 2006 Isis Ramses Garbo Shakespeare Tintomara Agustus Moses Savannah

Warsaw 2004 Fraszka Fantasia Sierściuch Zyleta/Kocik Le Miau Angelika Mamrotka Turbo Ptys Menello Bianco Kara Kotek

Tecklenburg 2015 Rocketta Eris Barnaby Buttons Bonzo Mab

Thunerseespiele 2017 Ishtar Luna Roxy

2009 Italian Tour Caligola Paride

Helsinki 1986 Aprilli Gilbert Lilli Marina Meijuli Grumbuskin/Rokkonen Russu Sibylla

Oslo 1985 Kvesesta Potefar Godnattakatt

The Named Swings Some of these are full ensemble characters in certain productions but when other productions cut that character or use an alternative, that name is often used for a swing. Admetus- when he's replaced by Plato, Admetus is sometimes used by a male/female swing Augustus Autumn Bill Bailey Carbucketty Electra Etcetera Exotica- first used to create a cameo for Femi Taylor (who played Tantomile in the OLC I'm pretty sure) in the 1998 film but has since been used for swings in large productions George- male kitten Jemima- female kitten Jonathan- male Murad- young male Noilly Prat- young female Olivia- young female Peter Quaxo- young male Victor- kind of an elderly male? his performer usually covers the older roles like Gus and Old Deuteronomy There's also a swing Babygriz in the current UK Tour

And now the mindfuck that is alternatives: Bill Bailey/Tumblebrutus- Bill Bailey originated in the original London production. Tumblebrutus was used instead of him on Broadway and in the 1998 film (the latter to maintain international something or other). In the 98 film it was Bill Bailey under the name Tumblebrutus. Carbucketty/Pouncival- Carbucketty originated in the original London production. As with Bill Bailey/Tumblebrutus, Pouncival was used instead of his London counterpart on Broadway and in the 1998 film. In the 98 film it was Carbucketty under the name Pouncival. Pouncival/George- the 2014 London Palladium production included a third male kitten aside from Carbucketty and Bil Bailey named Pouncival, who's design was actually much closer to the original London George character than to Carbucketty.

Quaxo/Mistoffelees- Big mindfuck! In UK-style productions, the performer is credited as Quaxo up until his song, where he is revealed to be The Magical Mr. Mistoffelees. This is usually explained as Mr. Mistoffelees being Quaxo's stage name. However, in some productions they're completely different cats, with Quaxo using a totally different design. Also, as Quaxo/Misto used to dance a tap dance duel against Jennyanydots while dressed as the lead beetle. Because of this, all pre-revival London productions attached the name Quaxo to the lead tap dancing beetle regardles of whether or not it was played by Mistoffelees. Plato/Admetus- Even bigger mindfuck! Admetus was the original double for Macavity in London and I think London-based prodctions still use Admetus. Plato is the Broadway version of the same cat. The Plato you see in the 1998 film is the Admetus design. Plato's design originally had a lot of brown and grey but since the 98 film, which used the Admetus design, you get a lot of "Admetus costume and makeup but named Plato". In productions where Plato is the Macavity double, the name Admetus is sometimes used for a swing (this is common in Australian-style productions) Admetus/George- This one is purely to do with the 98 film. Frank Thompson was credited with playing the Rumpus Cat and Admetus. Fans assumed the cat who was actually using the George design was Admetus, but it is unknown if the renaling of the George design to Admetus was intentional or not. Jemima/Sillabub- Jemima originated from the original London production but was renamed Sillabub in the US and in US-based prosuctions to avoid any negative racial connotations. Since then, the name Sillabub is used more often outside of Europe, though in productions where Sillabub is used as the principle version, the name Jemima is sometimes used for a female swing. Jemima is a named swing in the China 2012 and Shiki productions.

Other names There are two names in Old Possum's that haven't been used in any production (that I know of): James and Cat Morgan. Then there's Socrates, who is exclusive to the 2019 film.

So! That's that! Wow this got long and kinda detailed. If you've any questions/additions/whatever, send them in an ask and I'll do my best to answer.

There are many, many, more unnamed swings, but this is a compiled list of named swings.

I got the majority of my information from the wiki and also from this post by @/theimpossiblescheme.

I also bring you: a comprehensive guide to Cats Chorzów characters!

3 cats I have been unable to identify yet: Dyzio (Quaxo), Klaps (Tumblebrutus) and Sierściuch. All 3 are in the folder, but as I've been unable to link them to their respective names, they are labeled "Unknown" for now. Bili Dalej is also unconfirmed, as I've made that assumption only based on the fact he is grouped with Brali Dalej and I Tak Dalej (Etcetera) during the bows.

EDIT 1: As of 18.09.2022, Bili Dalej has been confirmed and Dyzio has been identified! All that's left is Klaps and Sierściuch! I also updated some photos to better ones.

I was inspired to make a list of all the swing cats I’ve come across in different productions, partially from a post @the-cat-at-the-theatre-door made. These are all the babies I was able to collect!

For the London swings, we have Greycat (who was apparently named Hysperia at one point), NBQ, AJ, Tabbygirl, Patches, a female and male version of Calico, Caramel, Victor, and the Walking Cover.

For the Broadway swings we have Spike, older versions of Greycat and NBQ and AJ, and a handful of nameless cats.

For the China 2012 production, we have Grumbuskin, Murad, Noilly Prat, Olivia, and Quaxo (the latter four have shown up in different productions such as the Australasia and World Tours).

The Gothenburg 2006 production gives us Isis, Ramses, Garbo, and Shakespeare. They also have swings named Agustus, Moses, Savannah, and Tintomara, but I was unable to find pictures of them.

The Warsaw 2004 production gives us Fraszka, Fantasia, Sierściuch, and Zyleta/Kocik le Miau. They also have swings named Angelika, Mamrotka, Turbo Ptys, Menello Bianco, and Kara Kotek, but they also don’t have pictures available.

The Tecklenburg 2015 production has a frankly ridiculous amount of swings, but the “main” ones--the ones who take bows with the main cast--have been named Rocketta, Eris, Barnaby, Buttons, Bonzo, and Mab (shout-out to @rumplteazer for coming up with them!). The rest are just part of the circus background chorus.

From the Thunerseespiele 2017 production, we have Ishtar, Luna, Roxy (based on a hashtag suggestion from the actress’s Instagram), and another handful of unnamed swings.

The 2003 World Tour gave us Jonathan.

And the 2009 Italian Tour gave us Caligola, as well as an unpictured swing named Paride who apparently resembles Asparagus with a Cassandra-style rolled wig.

If anyone knows of another other swings I was unable to find, or if anyone can find pictures of the others I mentioned, feel free to add on!

#cats the musical #swing cats #I have the awful feeling this isn't even a comprehensive list--curse my love of minor characters. XD #But yeah I hope everyone enjoys this! <3

Tuggerlurina Week Day 6: Anything with kittens

I wrote a little thing, once again it's all Warsaw so i'm using their Polish names. Tam is Tugger and other cats mentioned, in order of appearence, are : Skimble, Munk, Misto, Jelly, Victoria, Quaxo, Tumble and two Warsaw og kittens

@jelliclekay Hope you enjoy!

Bombalurina was looking for Tam, but to no avail. She knew he was somewhere in the studio, she even knew when exactly he came back thanks to Semaforro, but not where he was now. Finally, she decided to seek Myszołap, as the protector and also his brother, he of all cats should know where Tam was. She found him on a pile of boxes, talking with Mefistofeliks and Galaretka.

"He's spending time with his fan club" Feliks smiled at her.

"He's babysitting" Myszołap explained and pointed her to a particularly sunny corner of the yard. Surprise must have shown on her face because he continued with a shrug: "He didn't want to help us clean up after last night's storm, so he got to entertain the little ones as we cleaned". He smiled and his companions laughed a little.

Bombalurina thanked him and walked in the direction he gave her. She expected to hear the usual kitten squeals and shouts, but there was silence, only noises coming from where she came from and a distant buzz of traffic. Finally, she reached an old bench standing next to a wall and seeing Tam's long tail hanging from it, she jumped on it. She wasn't prepared for the sight that greeted her.

"Don't you dare say anything" Tam mumbled as he laid on the bench under a colourful pile of the clan's kittens, all of them soundly asleep. Bomba could see little Wiktoria curled up on his shoulders, Dyzio and other gray and yellow kittens clinging to his side. Klaps impressed her the most as he laid spread out over Tam's back, his tail falling on the triplets who wedged themselves between Tam and the bench's back.

"I wasn't about to" she smiled, laying down herself and pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "It's a wonder they find your back comfortable. How did you even get them to lay down?"

"Using my good looks and charm" Tam smiled and returned her kiss, just before getting hit by Klaps' flailing paw. He briefly glared backed at the kitten, now even more spread out on his back. "Why, do you want to join us?" he smiled at her again.

"Maybe I do" she smiled back, nuzzled his cheek and pressed herself to him as much as the mass of kittens allowed her to. It was nice, laying together in the sun, heat and kittens' slow breaths slowly lulling her to sleep.

Until she felt something warm and heavy settle on her back and side. She opened her eyes to see Mamrotka and Sierściuch, now using her as a pillow. How they got there from the rest of the pile without making a big ruckus she couldn't fathom. She could feel Tam grin without looking at him.

"Don't you dare say anything" she whispered, which made his grin even wider.

"Welcome to the club sweetheart" he kissed her cheek. She rolled her eyes as she settled back for a nap. It was a good nap, at least before they got woken up by a swarm of now rested kittens running off to cause mischief or whatever else they did.

"Does it always end like this?" Bomba grumbled, still half asleep.

"Yeah, unless it's only Wikuś, she just lights herself away" Tam mumbled in response, before reaching for her and pulling her closer. She had no idea what he meant, but it didn't matter now. Hopefully no one would interrupt their nap now.

#i know it's little late but shhh XD #inspiration strikes at midnight and all that jazz XD #cats the musical #cats warsaw #ram tam tamek #rum tum tugger #bombalurina #tuggerlurina #tuggerlurina week #jellicle cats

In the interest of clarifying things—because I’ve done such a slapdash job of it in the past—the following characters are swing cats:

Greycat, NBQ, AJ, Tabbygirl, Calico, Caramel, Victor, Walking Cover (London)

Spike (Broadway)

Grumbuskin (China)

Murad, Noilly Prat, Olivia, Quaxo (China, Australasia, World Tour)

Jonathan (World Tour)

Kvesesta, Potefar, Godnattakatt (Oslo)

And the following characters (to the best of my knowledge) are original ensemble cats:

Isis, Ramses, Garbo, Savannah, Moses, Agustus, Shakespeare (Gothenburg)

Fraszka, Fantasia, Sierściuch, Kocik Le Miau, Mamrotka, Turbo Ptys, Menello Bianco/Filutek (Warsaw)

Caligola, Paride (Italian Tour)

Gilbert, Rumpus Cat (Japan)

Aprilli, Lilli, Marina, Meijuli, Russu, Sibylla (Helsinki)

Yocasta (Santiago)

I hope this helps at all--if I’ve gotten anything wrong on this, let me know so I can correct the list!

#cats the musical #swing cats #I'm relying a lot of the wiki for this but I know the wiki needs regular editing so *it* can stay up to date... :P
