Cats Warsaw Merch

Aka all the Cats Warsaw merch things that I've found, at least so far

Starting with the stuff that I actually own:

CD Album

It's a highlights album containing 14 of the songs, sang by the main singing part of the cast, which mainly results in that some parts go to different people than later on stage, including Mistoffelees' part in "Mr M" being sang by the actor playing Victor (he does sing it as Misto). Also some of the songs in their arrangements are sounding closer to OBC than to how they would later sound on stage (mainly Jellicle Ball and Mr M).

The little booklet contains some basic information about the show, the songs included and the cast, as well as a few photos from the recording of the album

It was recorded in November 2003 and published/available for purchase with the premiere of the show on Jan 10, 2004

Programme

I got actually 2 of those, from 2004 and 2007. They are almost identical (only differences are ads and a bracket indicating one of the sponsors died by 2007). The actually different things are the cast inserts, both in the cast as well as the general formatting and rehearsal photos included

More photos of the 2004 version here

Book

Once again I have 2 of those, one came to me in its original protective sleeve and i'm keeping it safely tucked away. The other one is by now ever so slightly falling apart from how many times I've read it XD

The book contains interviews with: the set, costume and make up designers, the translator and some notes from the choreographers and cast members. It also includes quite a few photos (most of them from rehearsals) as well as fragments of song lyrics, some of the character descriptions and other general information about the show and its production

It was published in November 2004

Stuff that I know about from photos

Posters

I have a few such photos from a promo event for the CD album where people could get cds and posters, get them signed and there was face painting and some other activities including learning how to be a cat or smth

Umbrellas

This premiere photo is the only one that I got

A cup and a saucer

This is the only picture I have of it, and I am honestly not sure if it was actually sold or if it was custom made, but I'm gonna count it anyway

Pens

I don't actually have a photo of any, BUT the plaque over this lady's shoulder says "Długopis KOTY" aka "Pen CATS", and at this point that's all that I got (also there are CD albums on the top shelf)

Repertoire brochure

Distributed most likely sometime in December 2003, given it advertises the premiere and all the preview shows. Cats Warsaw had in total 6 preview shows, and it also had 2 premieres

The repertoire is for January and Febuary 2004, aka the original planned run of the show

Calendar

This is the only photo I have of it, possibly for June or July page, and curiously enough the same photo can be found in the Warsaw book, on Demeter's page. This suggests at least some other portrait photos from the book were originally taken for this calendar

Not merch but I thought they should be included

Cats Warsaw documentary "Ujarzmić Koty" ("The taming of Cats")

Making of Cats Warsaw, which included some of the musical's history and the director's history with it; some interviews with the cast, mainly Damian Aleksander (Munkustrap), Ewa Lachowicz (Demeter), Grzegorz Suski (Macavity), Jakub Szydłowski and Paweł Podgórski (both Rum Tum Tugger); rehearsal, backstage and premiere footage

It had its premiere on December 20, 2004

2005 edition of the Poems (that I do own)

2005 edition of "Old Possum's" translated by Stanisław Barańczak, simply titled "Koty" ("Cats")

The only tie it has to the musical is the fact that the cover photo is a very edited fragment of a rehearsal photo featured in the middle spread of the programme mentioned in the beginning of this list

It's Tantomile plus Etcetera's leg

I’ve seen your warsaw!Misto x 98!Munk posts, do you have any more crossover-y headcanons or ships?

I do have actually a bunch of headcanons and a few other crossover ships!

My main cats au is a crossover where both tribes are in London and while their interactions used to be sparse they get more friendly after 98!Munk and Fantazja (Warsaw og) become neighbours and then friends, and also cuz happenings of the most recent Jellicle Ball. This au also includes Mefistrap aka W!Misto x 98!Munk

2 other hcs in this au:

1. Bustopher Jones and Kot Bywalec (Warsaw Bustopher) are brothers and Bywalec is the father of W!Misto and grandfather of W!Victoria. They also got a little sister who is 98 Misto and Victoria's mother. Which Makes the twins W!Misto's cousins, and also aunt and uncle to W!Vicky

2. There is only one Macavity, it's Jellicle Macavity, he kinda sorta adopted Warsaw Bomba as his sister for a time, and Warsaw Deme was briefly one of his side chicks

As for other crossover ships/aus I got:

That one mafia au i talked about a bit here where I have W!Misto and 98!Deme fake dating for a time

Had a little human WW2 set au idea that would be W!Misto x either 98! or Kilworth! Munk, with both of them being pilots

Au where the 2019!Old Deuteronomy is actually elderly Warsaw!Victoria and she is friends with 98!Old D. Similarly 2019!Gus is elderly Warsaw!Quaxo. In that au the 2019 tribe was originally made up from cats that for various reasons left the Jellicles and from cats that wanted a new tribe after the Roof Clan fell apart for reasonsTM

A little au where the Jones brothers are a thing but 98!Misto is actually Warsaw!Cassoffelees' son and was passed as 98!Victoria's brother to protect him from Macavity

Jellicle!Misto x Warsaw!Munk crack ship that I made for fun of it being the opposite of Mefistrap

The accidental 98!Alonzo x Warsaw!Cassandra that I get every now and then in my head cuz I sometimes forget that replica Cass looks completely different, and then imagine Warsaw one in her place XD

Plus few others which are all human aus of various genres, all crossovers, the most notable ones being: one that is not only Warsaw x 98 but also has Batman/DC thrown in the mix; and one fantasy one that has in total 5 different versions of Mistoffelees running around XD
