a little moment of connection between Demeter and Tantomile

Petra Ilse Dam's Tantomile seems to understand Demeter very well—among other things, she picks up immediately on her unease about fake Deuteronomy, and reacts with aggression towards him.

(alternatively: Demeter realising she has no chance at getting between Coricopat and Tantomile and their twinsync.)

Jo Lucy Rackham covering Demeter, and Rhys Batten as Coricopat.

Vienna revival, 24/06/2022, filmed by @cryptidvoidwritings and @falasta.

(And if you're looking for that other ship in the background, it's giffed over here.)

“Since we only have a week left” GEORGE WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO HURT ME????

At least he takes us on a backstage tour at intermission, first. (June 18, 2022)

Featuring: Munkustrap (Alexander Auler) massaging Mr Mistoffelees (Riccardo Sinisi) with one of those machines because “he needs a good treatment” 🥺; Platometus (Nicholas Li) on his phone; Lucius Wolter chilling; Tugger (Dominic Hees) en deshabille; Carbucketty (Tommie Luyben) and Skimbleshanks (Gerben Grimmius whom Gigi by, apparently, everyone🥺) facing down some issues with the mic; Rhys Batten (apparently between costumes - you barely see it because George backs out immediately and Rhys is in profile, but he is in the buff if you are sensitive to that); Deuteronomy (Rory Six) having a break; and Tugger attempting to give the camera a big tonguey kiss, as Tuggers are wont to do.

Azriel Beach Vacation headcanons

A/n: @princess-tulip-writes and I were talking about this and now this exists lol. I will now be thinking about this for the rest of my vacation

Warnings: some smut (18+ only)

You and Az would rent an ocean side cottage next in the Summer Court

It was a surprise vacation from Az, you both deserved some time off and you were surprised it was his idea

But he was willing to relax for you

When you winnow to the cottage he picks you up bridal style and carries you in

It’s the cutest little place (Az is good at picking vacation spots bc he’s very detail oriented and a perfectionist)

There’s a large parlor area that opens into the kitchen

There’s even a big balcony/deck area with chairs to lay out on with a view of your private beach

When you get there it’s late afternoon so you take time to unpack and go out to dinner in the little town nearby

He took you to a cute little seafood place and then for ice cream after

On your way back to the cottage you guys walk along the beach holding hands

Looking out at the water and the sun setting over it, it looked so inviting. You gave Azriel a smirk and started stripping

“Baby! What are you doing!” He’d laugh out as you raced down to the water naked.

You dove in and popped your head up giggling at him asking, “Are going to join me?”

Az rips his clothes off and swims out to you as fast as he can, pulling you into him. You wrap your legs around his waist and he picks you up, he unfurls his wings to shield you with them

As he sways you in the water you play with the hairs on the nape of his neck. You feel his hardened length causing you to smirk at him

You pull him to your lips, tongues battening for dominance. You stick your hand underwater and stroke him. He moans into the kiss as you tease your entrance with the head of his cock

Azriel grabs your wrist, pulling your hand away from him. He slides into you making you drop your head back and moan. He bottoms out and starts thrusting in and out of you

You reach your highs together, slumping in his arms as he cuddles you closer. A few minutes later Azriel winnows you to the outdoor shower at your cottage

You and Azriel take turns washing each other. There was a need beneath the loving touches. Azriel pulls your back flush to his chest

He runs his fingers over your nipples and squeezes your tits. You arch into him at the arousal that rushes through you. Az pivots so you place your hands on the wall

“So good for me baby.” He groans in your ear as he fucks into you from behind, reaching around to rub your clit

You spent your week mostly on the beach

You would take walks and you even convinced Az to build a sand castle with you

You know that TikTok trend where girls give their bfs a shovel at the beach and they just dig holes. I feel like Az (Cass and Rhys) would do that

(if they we’re together they would compete for who can dig the bigger hole)

Your bathing suits would all be blue and he definitely picked them out. He also picks tie bikinis for you

“They’re easier to take off baby” he’d tell you with a wink

He loves when you wear his shade of blue he’s obsessed with how you look in it

You like it too bc when he’s away it’s like he’s with you

Azriel is crazy about you putting on sunscreen

He doesn’t want you to burn because he knows that all burns, small or large, hurt and Az hates when your in pain

You love when he rubs it in on your back. He massages you a little too making sure your covered

Covers you with his wings and makes you sit under the umbrella to take a break from the sun. His shadows can tell when you’re too hot and when you need a break

“Gotta keep you cool baby. I wouldn’t forgive myself if you got a burn.” And he’d kiss your forehead making sure you had cold water

There was one day you guys took a break from the beach to chill out home

You decided to tan out on the deck naked. “I don’t want tan lines Azzie.” “Will rub my tanning oil in Az?”

He happily rubs the oil on you. You start out laying on your stomach. He pays special attention to your ass, rubbing and squeezing while kissing up your spine

Az sits with you outside reading on a lounge chair

When you turn to lay on your back you pretend not to notice him watching you

You prop yourself on your elbows teasing him like you’re going to spread your legs to give him a view of your soaking core

A low growl escapes Azriel’s throat as he lowers himself to his knees in front of you

You smirk as he grabs your legs pulling you to the edge of your chaise lounger pushing your thighs apart

He spreads your slick through your folds and licks a stripe up your cunt

You tug at his hair as his tongue fucks you. Your orgasm comes up fast. He can tell your close as your walls flutter around his tongue

Az starts sucking on your clit bringing you over the edge. He licks you through your orgasm

He rubs at your thighs as you sit up. You wrap your legs around his waist and he picks you to bring you inside

He says your going in for a break, “you looked like you were overheating.” “Oh, yeah”

When vacation is over your sad and you pout asking him to stay for one more day

He doesn’t like saying no to you but promises you’ll come back leaving a kiss on your temple

George Maniadis playing Alonzo: rolling eyes, shaking head, startled little backward skitter-hop when Tugger drops Bomba, pouts his way over to complain to Munkustrap and Skimble afterward

(6 May 2022)

(24 June 2022)

George Maniadis playing Admetus: big open beam, absolute delight, checking them both out from head to foot... still the startled skitter-hop though

(23 June 2022)

(Meanwhile, Riccardo Sinisi playing Alonzo: delicate leggie of utter disdain.)

Vienna revival; May footage by @thunderwhenhepurrs, June footage by @cryptidvoidwritings and @falasta. Nicholas Li is Admetus in May and on 24 June. Bombalurina is Birgit Arquin on 24 June and Petra Ilse Dam in the other two cases. In all three performances, Tugger is Dominik Hees, Coricopat is Rhys Batten, and Munkustrap is Alexander Auler.

Please have this very important video of Riccardo Sinisi during his very last curtain call dancing in the Cats Vienna revival (June 24, 2022)

Also featuring Matthew Levick in his last performance as Mr Mistoffelees. His dad, at least, was there that night and I’m so happy because the got such applause at the end of the number and it was so well deserved.

Cats Vienna, 24.04.2022

So, just a little bit of writing for today. Just some things I noticed.

I thought it was really fun today. I went with @peterpandiedtoday and the people behind us were fans too, so it was like the inofficial Cats Vienna Fan Club sitting together XD Also: it was full! That may surprise some but I went to shows where the audience was less than 50% full, especially when we had many Corona cases in Austria back in February and March and the actors seemed to really love that they could play infront of a full house again! This show deserves it because it’s amazing!

Some notes for today: First time for me seeing Rhys Batten as Coricopat. Didn’t focus much on him so I can’t say much about his performence tbh.

Also first time seeing Jo Lucy Rackham as Jenny and she was so much fun in this role too (I’ve seen her as Demeter, Rumpleteazer and Carbucketty, she is the super swing!) She seemed very much into the role.

Also first time seeing Denise Jastraunig as Grizabella. She has an amazing voice.

Also first time seeing Alex Snova as Munkustrap. He had some fun parts too, but because he mostly coveres Tugger he seemed a little confused during the Old Deut. song cause usually he sings the other part.

Some small notes:

Chorus Gus/Bustopher kissed (?) Misto’s hand at the beginning when Misto passed him while he was sitting on the pipe in the background. He took the “Küss die Hand” literally. (Short note: At the end of the Bustopher Jones song he says “Küss die Hand” which is a austrian or viennese greeting. Honestly don’t know if Germans use it too. It’s quite old an hardly used today. Some older men from the upper class still use it to great women. The whole phrase is: “Küss die Hand, schöne Frau” (Kiss your hand, beautiful woman, that sound so weird in english, lol). I think the phrase fits the character of Bustopher Jones very well.

Said it before, say it again, Jo was an amazing Jennyanydots. She played her admiration and adoration for Bustopher very well. She also tried to physically hold Tugger back when he made fun of Munkustrap at the beginning of the Pekes and Pollicles.

Munkustrap seemed very angry at Demeter (Giulia Vazzoler) today when she tried to touch Grizabella. Also Demeter spend a lot of time on the side of the Stage looking after Grizabella, then she went to the front of the stage and looked into the audience with sad eyes, while all the Bustopher Jones Chaos started. She seemed quite sad and Tantomile (Anneke Brunekreeft, who played Demeter quite often too and understands her character very well) touched her head two or three times to cheer her up(?) or to focus her attention on Bustopher, but she only turned around when Carbucketty an Bill Baily misbehaved. She also started to smile and sing after that again.

Also when Grizabella came on the stage for the second time, Demeter seems very sad. She stood on the right end of the stage and looked at her/reached out to her. Misto hugged/nuzzeled her leg. That’s also something I saw for the first time.

Vienna also does this short Macavity song before the Jellicle Ball. It is sung by Jenny, Jelly, Bomba and Demeter and while Jenny and Jelly always sound scared, Bomba (Birigit Arquin) sounds very serious. She sounds like a mother who wants to scare her children with a horror story if they misbehave: Like: Kittens, if you don’t behave, Macavity will come and get you. Watch out! Bomba is clearly not scared of Macavity, I would say.

I enjoyed Tugger (Dominik Hees) a lot today. He was very fun. I always like how he looks out for Old Deut. Today he was also very flirty. During his number, when Electra started to scream very loud, Bomba nearly looked offended or shocked.

During the Jellicle Ball there is this section after Big Boys dance Part I, where they ladies dance in a V formation and today Tugger just danced behind Electra (that’s usually not a part of the choreo) and then he went up to another queen (I forgot who) to flirt with her.

Still love the ball, especially the second part after the cuddle pile.

Today I’m jumping: Pekes and Pollicles was also fun. Carbucketty (Johnny Randall) plays the main Pollicle and at the beginning he was distracted by Victoria and Electra, who sit with Old Deut. in the background and Mungojerrie had to remind him where his place was. Also Rumpleteazer (Anna Carina Buchegger) looked very happy when she won the bark battle. On one part when Munkustrap was singing about the british he acted like he was drinking tea, which made me laugh because it’s such a stereotype. At one part he also went up to Cassandra and told her part of the story and she nodded with great interest.

SECOND ACT

Skimbleshanks was played by Gerben Grimmius and in Vienna he is my favourite Skimbleactor. Today he acted out some of the song lyrics which was very enjoyable, he really acted like an old condactor (?) who wanted to know if the passangers wanted their tea weak or strong (back at the tea, also, don’t put whisky in your cat’s tea ... wait don’t give your cat tea at alll!!!!! thou now that I think of it my cat likes the smell of Camomile Tea and sometimes tries to drink it. Don’t let you cat drink you camomile tea either, especially if it’s hot and you still want to drink it. It’s not poisonous to cats but still ...)

Also want to write a little bit about Demeter/Macavity: For me it’s really hard to read the relationship between them because it’s always played a little bit different. I came to the conclusion that while Demeter doesn’t like Macavity, maybe even despises him, she doesn’t seem scared. Also: At the same time she also seems to be drawn to him subconsciously. She sometimes reaches out to him in a similar fashion as she reaches out to Griz.

When Macavity grabs her, Tantomile sometimes tries to hold her back. After she is freed from him, she is usually next to Bomba, with Bomba ignoring her and hissing and clawing at Mac.

After Mac extuingished the lights today a small girl infront of me asked her mum: Is it real? And her mum said: No. which made my laugh way too hard. I hope I didn’t disturb anybody around me, because it’s a rather serious scene.

I want to write something about Misto’s (Stephen Martin Allan) number too but somehow my head is a little bit empty. Tugger was quite fun during this number today. Sometimes he seems bored or not interested in Misto’s Solo dance but today he played it a little more enthusiastic. He also played with Skimble’s tail in the background and Skimble was not amused. Next time I go I have to focus a little bit more on Misto because he has so many small cute interactions with various characters during this number (with Gus, Rumple and Mungo, Vic, Electra ...) and one time I want to write a little more abt. them.

Today Bill Baily really wanted to be chosen as his magic assistent and Munk and Demeter also pointed at him so Misto would notice him but he still chose Cassandra at the end. All three of them looked so disapointed.

What was also funny: After he brought Old Deut back he danced happily and wiggeled around (Allan Misto wiggles a lot) and nearly forgot Cassandra, then suddenly rememberd her and reached his hand out for her, she came back on stage and they bowed together.

Also Tugger was so much hyping him up at the end he nearly looked shocked.

And at the end a short rant: Nicholas Li is an absolutly amazing Admetus/Macavity and the main reason why I like the character as much as I do today. He is also always the first on stage for bows so people sometimes forget to clap for him. They sometimes don’t seem to see that the applaus for all the single characters has started and on some evenings he got hardly any cheers at all (the first one or two times I watched the show I also overlooked him, so no blame on anybody). Most people also don’t know that he also plays Macavity. So now I made it my personal duty whenever I go to clap and cheer as loud for him as I dare because he deserves all the applaus as much as the others.
