Sorting Misto Portrayals Into Categories Because I Do This With Literally Everything wtf
So, most Mistos can be placed in six vague groups
Showman Misto:
Sings a lot
Takes charge of his own number early on
Memorable and fun to watch, but lacking an arc
Example: Timothy Scott (Original Broadway Cast)
Tugger’s BF Misto:
Confident when backed up by Tugger
Doesn’t have the usual disdain for Tugger
Seriously, his character revolves around Tugger
Example: Ricky Ubeda (Broadway Revival)
Note: Ricky is the only example of this type of Misto I’ve seen, but it felt like it needed its own category. Could be considered a variant of Showman Misto.
Character Arc Misto:
Only sings a little or not at all, though he’s usually not mute
Young and trying to prove himself, doesn’t lack confidence outside of general inexperience
Lets Tugger lead his number and doesn’t direct him, unless it’s at the very end
Example: Jacob Brent (1998 VHS, among others)
Vague and Aloof Misto:
Mute
Leads his own number, not lacking confidence, but also not singing any of it
It’s hard to tell what his motivations are: He’s mysterious
Example: Valentin Baraian (Vienna 1983-1990)
Note: This is the most likely type to be cryptid, though Cryptid Misto is an aesthetic that can be applied to any type, really.
Shy Misto:
Mute
Young and insecure, prone to making mistakes
Not taken seriously by most older characters until near the end
Example: Lindsay Chambers (1992 Zurich, among others)
Note: Laurie Davidson is a sort of speaking variation of this, but the movie’s too different from the play for anyone to match up with anything.
Munk’s Assistant Misto:
Sings Gumbie Cat
Clearly an adult, on equal footing with Munkustrap
Too present in the tribe to hide his powers. For this reason, this version is rarely used
Example: Victor Ullate Roche (Madrid 2003-2004)
Note: This was probably the first type of Misto to ever exist, because Misto sang Gumbie Cat originally, creating a sense that Munk and Misto were passing leadership back and forth. I haven’t paid enough attention to the Original London Cast to be certain that Wayne Sleep fits the type, outside of singing Gumbie Cat. The character has evolved away from this and the Madrid production might be the only later production to use it.
None of these Mistos are bad. I have a preference for Character Arc Misto, but Misto is not required to have an arc and other types can be fun. Each version plays a different role, and they all have strengths and weaknesses. The only one that doesn’t entirely work is Tugger’s BF Misto, because of how much Misto becomes a satellite character. But, this version of Misto is much newer than the others, so the bugs haven’t been worked out yet. It’s a new Misto prototype.

Day 17 of Jellicle Ships month - Bombalurina
Now, we all know Bombalurina. But I will add this: she shouldn’t be reduced to just “the sexy one”.
She shows strong protective qualities, devotion, and warmth: in the 1998 movie she shows visible sympathy when Mistoffelees is embarrassed by Munkustrap’s glare in ‘the Gumbie Cat’, for example, and she can often be seen petting the kittens in the background. And, of course, one of her three words is “generous”.
Relationships
Her most obvious and strongest relationships are with Demeter, Tugger, and (offstage) with Macavity: the first could be familial or romantic, the second could be romantic or flirty friends (possibly with benefits, the third is almost explicitly sexual but not particularly romantic. The decade-long fifth US tour (Troika, 2001–2012) included a regular bit of business to end the curtain call: a very suggestive little exchange between Tugger and Bombalurina, where it’s made quite clear who’s in charge in that relationship!
In many productions (such as Madrid 2003) she has a strong relationship with Munkustrap—I seem to recall Jack Rebaldi saying that he was playing Munkustrap there as yearning after her but being too busy leading the tribe to let himself make a move. In the 1998 movie she pairs up with Pouncival at the Jellicle ball, but this is not common.
Her manner of mentioning Griddlebone in Macavity’s song might be read as her having a crush on Griddlebone (either as a fictional character or a real cat).
In many Broadway-based productions, since Alonzo dances with Demeter during Bombalurina’s dance at the ball, Bombalurina dances either with Munkustrap or with Plato (who seems closer to her age in the Broadway tradition than Plato/Admetus in the London tradition). Alonzo is another cat with whom she often flirts: in the 2020 Asia tour, for example, Fletcher Dobinson’s Alonzo and Suzie Melloy’s Bombalurina usually end the curtain call sequence with a playful little dance competition. Suzie (who was also Bombalurina in the 2017 Asia tour) has suggested that Electra is her daughter—either by Macavity or Alonzo.
When it comes to familial headcanons, she is also a strong candidate for Jemima’s mother, though not currently so popular in fandom as Demeter.

Another addition to my CATS programme and brochure collection is this CATS London programme from February 1999. I would have loved for there to be more photos in here, but these are likely in the companion brochure, which I do not own (yet).
The cast here includes some familiar faces from CATS (1998) like Veerle as Jemima (my favourite Jemi) and Beth Robson, who was the dance captain and assistant choreographer, and was an on set swing (she covered Jennyanydots for that one short reprise of 'Grizabella the Glamour Cat').
Also featured is Jack Rebaldi who played Munkustrap on and off in London from 1997 to 2001, and then decided that he might as well do Berlin (2002-2003), Madrid (2003-2004), Dusseldorf (2005), the German Tour (2005-2006), and the German Tent Tour (2010) as well. Because why the hell not when you can speak and sing in at least three different languages (I have been told that he actual speaks six different languages) well enough to perform, and are just generally taller than everyone else? Everytime you look at the cover of CATS (1998) with the cast photo, that is Jack as Munk (Veerle is also on that cover as Jemima).
There are also many other cast members in this programme who were a part of other previous and future productions of CATS, such as Antwerp 1996 and the UK tours.
As I have said before, these are snapshots into CATS history, and I am glad to own them!

DEATHSTARS were formed in Strömstad, Sweden in 2000 – born of a variety of influences ranging from black and death metal, to rock ’n’ roll and industrial. They’ve released four full-length studio albums to date; Synthetic Generation (2003), Termination Bliss (2006), Night Electric Night (2009), and The Perfect Cult (2014). The band has stated that Synthetic Generation was a bit of an experiment and challenge, the members all having come from underground extreme metal bands, which was more familiar territory at that point. Termination Bliss garnered the group immediate attention, the band touring with Cradle Of Filth in 2006 in its wake - whilst follow-up Night Electric Night launched them internationally, lauding them enormous praise and landing them a tour with Rammstein in arenas throughout Europe. Latest album The Perfect Cult saw them continue their impeccable run – welcoming their first ever North American tour, and sadly the departure of Cat Casino, who has now returned to the fold.

Comparing Score to Bootlegs and 1998
So, a few days ago, I found the vocal score for Cats. The entire damn show. For bits that don’t have vocals, some instrumental tracks are provided as well.
Upon further inspection, the score is the revised version created for the 2003 UK Tour, which has been used for most replica productions since, not counting the London and Broadway Revivals and their spin-off tours. The Grizabella Reprise is included only as an instrumental segment and Firebird is missing from the Jellicle Ball score.
In my Bootleg/Pro-Shot collection, there are four productions that use this score:
Madrid Pro-Shot from 2004
Moscow Bootleg (might be pro-shot idk) from 2005
German Tent Tour Bootleg from 2011
UK Tour Bootleg from 2013
These four have elements in common with each other that other productions lack. Also, since the newer score is London-based, the mostly London-based 1998 film sometimes matches up to it. I don’t know what changed between the London production and the 2003 score, because I don’t have a full bootleg of that production. I’ve heard rumors that one or even two might exist, but I don’t have them. If you have one and want to read more essays comparing it to other things, please tell me.
Anyway, all my bootlegs from before 2003 are Broadway-based and not easy to compare to this score.
What I mainly want to talk about here are four characters: Electra, Etcetera, George, and Victor. Their tracks are included in the score, but I’ve yet to find a show that uses this score and includes more than one of them. Madrid and German both include Electra, and Moscow includes George. That’s it. No Etcetera (boo!) and no Victor. I actually haven’t seen any show that includes Victor.
So, when these characters aren’t around, where do their tracks go? They seem to consistently go to the same characters, so there’s probably some official plan in place. The 2003 UK Tour itself, the one the score was revised for, didn’t use all these characters. Since the 1998 film cut Victor, we can also look at where his track theoretically goes there.
So, for now, and I might write more about this later, I’m focusing on the two songs where nearly every character gets at least one line: Jellicle Songs and Song of the Jellicles.
Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats:
The official tracks are as follows:
Blind When You’re Born: Munkustrap
See in The Dark: Demeter
Look at a King: Skimbleshanks
Sit on His Throne: Asparagus (German reverses Skimble and Gus’ lines)
Worse Than Your Bark: Tugger
Cock of the Walk: Alonzo
Walking Alone: Grizabella “Babygriz”
Land on Your Feet: Jellylorum
Storm in the Air: Coricopat and Tantomile (Just Coricopat pre-2003)
Lost in the Street: Jemima/Sillabub
Heaviside Layer: Old Deuteronomy
Places Far Distant: Coricopat and Tantomile (Just Tantomile pre-2003)
Candle: Jennyanydots and Victoria (Not all productions include Victoria on this line)
Book and Bell: Victor, Electra, and Bill Bailey/Tumblebrutus
Whittington’s Friend: Bombalurina
Pied Piper’s Assistant: Rumpleteazer
Heaven and Hell: Mistoffelees
Mean Minx: Mungojerrie
Lean Lynx: Carbucketty/Pouncival
Keen to Be Seen: Etcetera
Sphinx: Cassandra
George doesn’t usually get an opening line, so there’s not much to say about him, but there is stuff to say about the other three.
Book and Bell is usually given to Plato/Admetus, who otherwise wouldn’t have an opening line. I’ll talk more about this in a moment.
The 1998 film lacked Victor, leaving only Electra and Tumble to say the line. But, Tumble, played by a London Mistoffelees was given Heaven and Hell, so Electra said the line alone.
Theoretically, Madrid and German could’ve given Electra this line. But, they gave her Keen to Be Seen. When Electra is present, but Etcetera isn’t, Electra gets Etcetera’s track, including her opening line, as well as swinging on the trapeze. Tumblebrutus could’ve said Book and Bell alone here, but they gave the line to Plato anyway, possibly just to stay consistent with the other productions.
Speaking of Keen to Be Seen, it’s usually the line of whoever swings on the trapeze, or whoever would if the trapeze wasn’t cut, as it often is from tours. If both Etcetera and Electra are absent, Bill Bailey/Tumblebrutus gets this role and, usually, this line. This is the case in the UK Tour. However, Moscow gave the line to George, who didn’t swing on the trapeze. I guess if a production includes one one of The Four, that one gets this line. If none of The Four are there, it’s Tumble’s line.
Song of the Jellicles:
It’s Electra’s turn to sit out and not get a line. George gets one instead. Now, instead of a long recap of who gets what line, I’ll focus more on the “interesting bits”
“Jellicle cats are black and white/Rather small” is listed as George/Alonzo. However, both Moscow and 1998, which include George, have Alonzo say the line alone. Maybe they just preferred it this way. The only production I’ve seen where this line isn’t purely Alonzo’s is Zurich, which gives it Plato instead. A lot of Alonzo’s track in Zurich is given to Plato, for some reason.
Airs and Graces is Victor/Misto, but because nobody ever includes Victor, Misto always says the line alone.
“Jellicle cats develop slowly” is said by Munk/Admetus/George. In productions that don’t include George, Alonzo takes his place. Despite having George, Moscow gives this bit to Alonzo anyway. Moscow rarely ever actually uses George for anything, to the point that one wonders why they bothered to include him at all.
Alonzo: Jellicle cats are black-
Victoria/Teazer/Etcetera: And white!
When Etcetera’s not there, she’s replaced by Jemima/Sillabub. Out of the two productions to include Electra, only Madrid includes her in this line. Victoria is a white cat, Teazer and Etcetera have light color schemes, and even Jemima has a white chest, but Electra has little to no white on her, so I don’t think she’s a good fit for the line.
Bill Bailey/Skimble/Victor: Jellicle cats, as we said, are small.
The UK Tour had Bill Bailey and Skimble say the line with no replacement for Victor. Madrid and Moscow also didn’t replace Victor, and they swapped Bill Bailey for Pouncival. My notes on the German Tent Tour say that it was Skimble and Electra in that one, but I’m not actually sure of that. 1998 replaces Victor with Misto.
Alonzo/Misto/Carbucketty: We will practice a caper or two in the hall
This one includes no removed characters, but it’s worth pointing out, because Alonzo almost never says this line. 1998 starts up its Jellicle Ball pattern of replacing Pouncival with Tumblebrutus, and includes Skimble instead of Alonzo. Most productions just use Misto and Carbucketty/Pouncival. Madrid swaps Alonzo with Tumblebrutus and has both tom kittens involved.
So, that’s all I have for now. I still think they should bring Etcetera back.
