Victoria
'Familiar with candle--'
Victoria is a pure white kitten, the only self-colour in the show, and therefore very easy to spot. She used to be my favourite cat, but now, though I'd still list her on my top five, she's not my complete favourite. She's a kitten during most of the show, but during the middle, she 'loses her innocence,' to quote a bazillion people, and becomes an adult. She's Plato's mate in the video, but I've heard something about Tumblebrutus, so I really don't know. Victoria & Mistoffelees have been said to be together by trillions of people, and I'm a huge fan of this relationship. (I REALLY don't like Plato because of this.) Victoria has been said to be one of the youngest kittens, but she's rarely portrayed as such. She is the one that dances the invatation to the Jellicle Ball (with Mr. Mistoffelees), and she also is the first to accept Grizabella back into the tribe. She doesn't sing much, but she's a terrific dancer.
Actress' who've played her: Susan Soetart (London), Missy Lay Zimmer (B'way), Phyllida Crowley Smith (video), Emma Harris (London) |
