    the muscle detail on the rumpus cat weirded me out, along with the..everything else, heh

    but yeah i much prefer growltiger! it also let a bunch of characters goof around as pirates, which was super fun for me to watch.

    recently andrew lloyd webber became the first since rodgers & hammerstein to have four broadway shows running at the same time-- CATS, school of rock, phantom of the opera, and sunset blvd i believe! so big congrats to him, that's cool as hell

    I kind of like the Subtle Baddie feel they're going for now, the old one just seems Really Edgelord
    And I really like that they didn't go the Black Cats Are All Evil route, like, no. stop. overdone. black cats are Good And Wonderful

    BLACK CATS ARE SWEET AND WHOLESOME, I LOVE THEM ALL

    and on that note: i am really glad they made misto a protagonist?? it would've been easy to make the canon black cat named after mephistopheles evil, but they didn't and it makes me happy

    I was so tickled by that
    sweet lil kitty with the Big Bad Name is ACTUALLY adorable and wonderful and also The Biggest Little Shit

    and then you have macavity who sounds like a bad trip to the dentist and a half

    my one gripe is misto is hardly ever played as he's described (all black) in the song, he's almost always a tuxedo cat. it gives me dissonance when the song describes him one way and yet... there he is on stage looking very different

    I mean I get why they do it—theatricality! Magicians in tuxedos! it makes him stand out!—but that was always a gripe of mine too
    I Like the tuxedo outfit, because it makes him stand out
    BUT THE SONG IS WRONG OR THE OUTFIT IS WRONG GOSH DANGIT.

    (I eventually got my brain to shhhh by going "well they say 'he is black from the ears to the tip of his tail' which doesn't specify front or back and his BACK is all black so HAH")

    yeah, they do it because an all-black costume would be SUPER hard to see on stage and for the reasons mentioned above

    and the tux is super cute. i love it

    but this torments me ;-;
