If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

every character that gets a song in act two of CATS, with the exception of Macavity, aren't seen until act two. granted, the actors playing them are seen, but they don't get into full character drag until their song in act two...

I thought of the reverse of this -- Vittorio in Sweet Charity ONLY shows up in the first act.

There's got to be a few though in Candide who don't show up till the second act....

Everyone in the Noah story in Children of Eden.

Everyone in The Lady and the Tiger and Passionella in The Apple Tree.


King Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar.

How about Liat in South Pacific? (I'm not sure about that one).

Edward in The King and I.

Sally Simpson in Tommy.

jacobtsf- wally womper is usually played by the same actor as twimble so he technically is there in act one.

i don't think adult nala counts since she's the adult version of an act one character

"Karpathy appears in the last scene of Act One in "My Fair Lady."

Oops, you are right. For some reason I keep thinking that Act 1 ends with "I Could Have Danced..."
