hey

hey guys remember that t4t Bombastrap couple of pics from Zurich where Bomba and Munk actors swapped costumes and did each other's faces

(Grant Newsome as Bomba and Ursula Lysser as Munk, obvs 1992).

well, now we have the Demecavity equivalent! Although only the makeup.

Helen Turner and Adam Hearn, Oasis cast 16 (X).

(Okay so he was Coricopat and covering Mac, but who's quibbling.)

OP I have great news for you about the 2025 Australia tour!

(Also Rumpelteazer and Jemima, of all cats, immediately rush to look after Alonzo when he goes down and also also when it comes to the moment when everyone stands up to face Macavity down as a group, you know who leads that movement? Demeter. Demeter is standing there protecting Carbuckety and snarling right in Macavity's face YOU GO GIRL GET HIM!)

it has come to my attention (thank you so much @hysterical-cats) that in moscow 2005 bombalurina tries to protect munkustrap by covering him with her own body when he falls. and i will never be normal again

Alex Snova as Macavity (2/3)

(1/3: abducting Deuteronomy) | (3/3: the fight)

Other Macavitys fling out their hand at her eyes to make Demeter swoon. Not this one. This one goes for the full-body seduction route. Does he even need magic anymore, for her?

She comes forward to him, fighting or fascinated. And then Bombalurina and Munkustrap have to join forces to get her away.

Vienna revival, 21 June 2022: Snova's last cover of Admetus/Macavity (an unscheduled mid-show swing-on!), with Anneke Brunekreeft as Demeter, Florian Fetterle as Munkustrap, and Birgit Arquin as Bombalurina.

Alex Snova as Macavity (1/3)

(2/3: seduction) | (3/3: the fight)

you warned them, you warned them, but everyone is frozen... except Rumpelteazer, who is a survivor, and who plays silly and cute and joyful but she gives herself away here: she knows. she immediately turns away and crouches, hiding her eyes...!

... and then copies the others, falling to the ground to camouflage herself.

While you, Demeter, get the special treatment. Not just a brief freezing in place for you but a personalised seductive swoon.

(Snova, sir. Your eyes. 'I'll be back for you later!')

"getting a lot of Macavity vibes from this" says girl who only thinks about Macavity all day

(Munkustrap, meanwhile, has heard of dramatic zooms but didn't realise it's meant to be the camera that does it, not you.)

Tyler Hanes, on Demeter and Bombalurina's relationship with Macavity:

(After Tyler refers to Demeter as 'Munk's girl':)

Host: I always thought [Demeter] was in an abusive relationship with Macavity

Tyler, immediately: Oh, she is. She totally is. You've got her who's like, dealing with trauma, then you've got Bombalurina who got off on it. You've got the two extremes of abuse right there.

'The Wrong Cat Died' podcast, February 2020. Tyler Hanes was Tugger for the whole run of the Broadway revival.

Kim Fauré understood the assignment...!

Broadway revival, 13 August 2016. The quote is from choreographer Gillian Lynne's instructions to Sharon Lee-Hill (OG London Demeter) when she was teaching her the number.

This man was wonderful when he made love to me...

... but I hated him.
