Posted: 5/1/13 at 4:33pmJust looks like a cheap regional theatre knock-off of the original.
#3New Cats Makeup Design - Thoughts?
Posted: 5/1/13 at 4:39pmIt doesn't look cheap to me. Nothing about CATS is sacred in my book, so let the designer have his/her way!
#4New Cats Makeup Design - Thoughts?
Posted: 5/1/13 at 4:58pmWell... I'm a CATS purist, specially when it comes to costumes, makeup, and coreography but I got to admit I like this makeup desing slightly better than the original, it just needs to be executed better.

Posted: 5/1/13 at 5:05pmIt looks a bit more simple than the original, but I like it for the most part.

It looks a lot more cartoony and child-like, which was the original intent of the poems. If that is the direction of the entire production, then I'm all for it.

Why are you asking for opinions if you are just going to disagree with the first person who doesn't like it?
It looks like your make up person doesn't know what they are doing.

Very intriguing. The makeup looks quite good....hopefully the actress has a more mature sounding voice to fit this look (sometimes the Grizz's.....Grizzi..not sure the plural........have VERY young sounding voices which takes a bit away from the character, I think)
Thanks for posting. If you have any other pics of the cast, please post.
I am sure many of us would like to see.

The costumes & makeup have changed from nearly every single professional production. This isn't exactly groundbreaking territory here.

Posted: 5/1/13 at 7:50pmMa-Anne is incredible. I am thrilled she is playing this role. I think the make up looks great.

Have you considered counseling?

I thought there was going to be a dramatic difference from the way you were acting... Glad to see I was wrong LOL
Nice to see Ma-Anne... especially as Grizza

No, Namo, I haven't. Well, not for that anyway.
I'm not ashamed to say CATS is one of my favorite musicals, and I think its genius and iconic aesthetic should remain true to the original concept.

Posted: 5/1/13 at 10:07pmAnyone else think she looks like Carol Kane?

Posted: 5/29/13 at 5:19pmIt looks good for the most part, but I am not liking Old Deuteronomy's costume at all.
#20New Cats Makeup Design - Thoughts?
Posted: 5/29/13 at 5:31pmI think the makeup looks fine if what you're after is less of a cat look, and more human.

I like Victoria's wig, but the Rum Tum Tugger and Macavity are a little underwhelming. In general, they all look a bit too clean for me.

Posted: 5/29/13 at 5:49pmIt looks like the same as every other production of Cats...

I think there is certainly room to reinvent the makeup, set(s), costumes, etc.
This isn't really a reinvention, so much as a slight modification, to me.

Posted: 5/29/13 at 5:57pmTo me it's more of a simplification than a reinvention. Except for Grizabella's.

Posted: 5/29/13 at 7:40pmTugger's costume looks to simple- his mane should be bigger and wilder, he looks like a groomed Housecat not a stray wild one

What a wonderful interview with Ma-Anne, BwayTo/Alan. Keep up the good work!

Posted: 5/29/13 at 8:26pmThanks for the link. I am less thrilled with the Grizz makeup than before. She kinda looks more like the Witch from Into the Woods. And Deut looks more Sasquachy or Monkey-y than Catish.
