Imagine having to sing Memory every night. It must be so demanding, vocally and emotionally.

Wow, that backstory is completely different than what I had in my head! I always thought Grizabella was an ex "glamour cat" who was abandoned by her owners when she started to get old and lost her prize-winning looks. And even at her old age was still wondering why they left her and how she will survive another night on the streets all alone.

She was a glamour cat, but not in that kind of sense.

If you listen to the lyrics of all the different memories (There is different lyrics to the song throughout the movie) it’s actually really sad and it brings me to tears thinking about this little old cat wandering the streets alone and not having anyone to love her 😭😢

gonna be honestly, I never got any of that backstory from the actual musical.

@sof_t_4 жыл бұрын
The story in the musical actually leaves Grizabella's past up to interpretation and the story given here is Mamie's take on it - what she believes the character to be when she plays her.

I had no idea about Grizabella's backstory! So interesting! Also, Mamie is possibly one of my favourite Grizabellas :D
@sserakaecho7 жыл бұрын
I love her but I kind of dislike Grizabella's new look. I got used to seeing Elaine Paige's version, y'know- the curly and frizzy fur/hair, the rags and all that jazz. But new things are always worth the try. Mamie is gorgeous by the way!

@DarkandWild26 жыл бұрын
I think this is one of two things: either Andrew Lloyd Webber's interpretation of the character, in which case I would love to hear his other ones, or Mamie Parris' own; Elaine Paige gave a similar character study and didn't mention Grizabella's relationship with Macavity, so it may or may not be canon. Either way, I love all the cats in "Cats" very much and am always happy to hear a new actor's idea of what their cat's story is.

They don’t trim the lace on wigs for theatre- it helps to keep the wig in top shape for as long as possible and have it (hopefully) work for many actors

@Marianne_L7 жыл бұрын
Gillian Lynne mentioned that it was Demeter that had a bad relationship with Macavity, but that it was likely Bombalurina was also involved with him at some point too. Which makes sense considering how they sing together.
@baileybieganek24467 жыл бұрын
Marianne Lamb yeah Demeter was another option of course. I just find bombalurina more...sexy I guess? I dunno 😂

Yeah she has a much more obvious sexuality about her ahaha
@Chishannicon7 жыл бұрын
I heard from a former cast member that Demeter was actually raped by Macavity and that's why she freaks out more than anyone else when he is near.

What happened to older women playing grizz?
@grannysgonerabid74254 жыл бұрын
Well, Elaine Paige was 32 in 1981 and Betty Buckley was 35 in 1983 when they originated the roles in London and New York. I think Leona Lewis was 31. Not sure Mamie's age, so not sure what you mean by "older women." Early/mid thirties seems to be the age. I think Nicole Scherzinger was the oldest when she took the role at 36 in 2014.

It's so the company doesn't have to waste money on several makeup artists. Also, I think it's better for the performers to learn on their own.
