#FAV NON REPLICA ACTUALLY IT LOOKS SO FUN

everyone shut up i’m switching back into cats mode because of the circus cats at paramount theater

Any fav productions of cats both replica and non replica

i have not actually watched that many different productions yet but out of what i have seen i am OBSESSED with pac nyc cats!!! i am weirdly compelled by the non-cat characterizations present in these versions of the characters and i kind love how the reduced cast all equally shares the spotlight. a lot of people i think were turned off by tugger looking kind of “boring” but i think in context it totally works cause he’s still got a lot of personality intact. also fascinated by this ones mungo&teazer. barely suppressed urge now to always sing that song in a jersey accent. plus the matching pink & green and green & pic fits… and the way they walk through the crowd reaching for audience members bags before going “oh oopsies ^w^”

OH OH OH AND I LOOOOOOVE MACAVITY AS APART OF THE COMMUNITY. SO MUCH. after old deut is taken in by the police macavity himself comes back onto the stage and bustopher tells him what happened and then HE HIMSELF sings that last “macavity’s not there” and it BREAKS MY HEART. and then the excitement when old deut is brought back is so cute. i love pac nyc macavity with all my heart.

& generally the costuming is just really good fun and creative. i love all of it. i love munk’s fur coat that resembles his replica counterpart’s fuzzy arm warmers. i love gus’s entire opulence fit. jenny victoria and tumble’s fits for the labels category. and of course i love the unapologetically blackness and queerness of it all. theres a unique sound present just from letting the actors express themselves with their voice (thinking specifically about garnet william’s bombalurina and the spanish section in skimbleshanks). its just good i like it.

✨when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, then tag 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)✨

Tagged by @kangofu-cb , thanks! And yes I have been putting it off because it's very open-ended and I didn't know how to pick. Decisions are not my strong point.

So I am just going to use the next 5 songs on the playlist I have on my phone. Unless they're weird. Or embarrassing. Or I just don't vibe with them right now.

1. Pink Floyd - Cymbaline. My mum is a huge Pink Floyd fan, so they were a key part of the soundtrack of my childhood. This is probably not one of their songs that I'd mention if someone was to ask me for some favs, but it's fairly chill and a little eerie, which I do enjoy. Also it mentions Doctor Strange for no real reason.

2. Divine Comedy - I Like. Divine Comedy are always fun, and this one is particularly bouncy. Can be a bit repetitive though, best when you're mostly concentrating on something else.

3. Scouting for Girls - I Wish I Was James Bond. I watched a lot of Bond in my youth, with my brother. Did I ever wish to be him? Not really, it looked like a lot of hassle tbh. I did like it when he made things blow up though. See also: my love of superhero films.

4. The Dolman - Witches Woe. I saw these guys a couple of weeks back at the Pirate Festival. They played a gig on the deck of a replica of Drake's Golden Hind as the sun set, which was very atmospheric. I bought one of their albums in the wake of it but haven't listened to it much so can't say anything else about this song. It's pirate-esque folk rock though, hard to go wrong.

5. Deftones - Change (In The House of Flies). It is a truth universally acknowledged that while the 2002 movie of Queen of the Damned wasn't that great, the soundtrack was an absolute banger. As such I have had various songs from it on my general playlist since, well. Since 2002, probably, idk, I just dump all the songs I like in one list, hit shuffle, and only take them out when they start to annoy me. If they never annoy me, they just stay there forever. I suspect that has become obvious over the course of this list.

I will not be tagging ten people, as that is far more than I interact with on here, given my wallflower status. And especially once I take out the ones CB already tagged. So let's just tag @isabellehemlock @ramsaybaggins @tanouska @bizarrelittlemew and anyone who saw this post and was hoping I'd tag them.
