did i ever talk about my Cats RCCL Cast 14 experience on here? i dont remember
anyway so flashback to september 2023, i went on the oasis of the seas cruiseline for the second time and ofc i watched cats ALL three times it showed on that boat (along with dragging my family along to see it with me all three times hehe)
cats rccl cast 12 made me REALLY get back into cats so me going again made my heart fucking soar!! now i knew everything!
first night, we lined up early so we could snatch the front row and i was dead center (bc at this point my entire family knows that im actually insane about this show) and not only did i tear the fuck up during the overture, SO MANY MOMENTS happened while watching!!
first show: during naming of cats, gus and i were literally having a full on staring contest. dude was UP CLOSE to my face and my fixating ass was mouthing the poem with him. my family was fucking laughing at the whole interaction. (during this, i think tantomile was scaring my older brother lmao)
the entire first show was so great, i was literally having the time of my life and trying not to tear up. its so refreshing to see the jellicle ball in full and to see the entire mr mistoffelees dance. daniel chesnut is such an amazing misto. he encapsulates that cat so well, his dancing is amazing!!
i think it was during moments of happiness or something, rumpleteazer and mungojerrie snuck up on me. rumple rubbed her head against my knee i was fr like "AHHHH" in my head.
anyway, the first show was so amazing i was literally starstruck i did not want to leave that theater 馃槶 got noticed by misto so many times and had an overall blast. i was shaking walking out of the room
second show, we just came back from dinner so we didn't get to snatch seats and had to sit in the balcony seats but it was funny to see misto blind everyone with the bright light during skimbleshanks when they made the train.
THE THIRD SHOW HOWEVER!!
this time we sat front house left. and OH MY GOD THE INTERACTIONS DURING THIS SHOW. AGAIN DURING NAMING OF CATS. okay so this time, misto and i were having a staring contest, mouthing the poem to each other, then suddenly BOMBALURINA POPS OUT OF FREAKING NOWHERE!!! AND SHE'S UP AND CLOSE TO ME! SHE'S IN MY FACE. GIRL WAS LIKE 3CM AWAY FROM ME, ONE FOOT ON THE CHAIR. MY HEART WAS RACING. during this, misto was like 馃槼 to my cousins as they watched this whole thing happen.
during moments of happiness, mungojerrie would literally not break eye contact with my cousin, it was so fucking funny. THE WHOLE NUMBER he was staring at her. mungojerrie also like fnaf 2 jumped at us during the end of the show.
DURING MR MISTOFFELEES!! after misto made old deut appear again and he was standing at the edge of the stage waiting for tugger to show old deut who saved him, he made a lil heart shape at us and i fucking died. i deceased.
he did so again a second time!! during bows and tugger noticed us as well going like "sir who tf are you making a heart at" and haha guilty :3c
but as misto left the stage, he gave us a high five and AHHH wanted to scream and die again. we literally had the most fun that night and i miss it so much 馃槶馃槶
im in such show withdrawal right now. i miss this show so much. bootlegs and the 1998 recording isnt enough, PUT ME BACK ON THAT SHIP!!
hey, i watched your cats video (LOVED it forreal you鈥檙e so right about everything) and i was wondering if you have a folder of the productions you used clips from? there were some i haven鈥檛 seen and i鈥檇 love to see the full videos of them!
Thank you so much! Sadly a lot of the clips I used are not from full productions, but from small bits uploaded to youtube and other social media sites. The full ones that I have are the broadway revival, the last cast for the 6th US tour (both of which are really easy to find on youtube), Buenos Aires 1993 and RCCL cast 14.
Charlotte Lovell made an appreciation post for her time (so far) as Victoria in Cast 14 of the Oasis of the Seas.
Along with sharing videos from the last few months of the White Cat Solo and White Cat Lift, she also included an extended video of her impressive Ricochet.
