Prologue: Jellicle Songs
This song is sung in a whisper and begins the musical with a tense build up. The choreography for the song is people slowly gathering on stage with us all wandering round the space which visually looks good. Hopefully, a smoke machine will be used during this song to create an even more eerie atmosphere. This song hasn't been fully developed so far as in movement.
The Naming Of the Cats
The Invitation To The Jellicle Ball
This song is the song i helped choreographed, I begin by walking down the cat walk i go to stage left and hand out invitations then to stage right and do the same when i sing my last line 'Jellicle's Come To the Jellicle Ball' i throw my remaining invitations in the air. Once i have done that everyone rushes to pick them up but pause to listen to Munkustrap. When the music changes and is the outro everyone thanks Munkustrap for the invite and wander back to work.
The Gumbie Cat
This was choreographed by Beth, this is a jolly up beat song. The motif for the song is Jennyanydot's getting the models in shape, she makes them walk up and down the cat walk and practice. Jennyanydot's rushes around the stage finding items of clothes for the models to wear to walk down the cat walk with but nothing seems to be going right. Then all the girls come on stage and start tap dancing. This is further explained in my gumbie cat post.
Rum Tum Tugger
At the beginning of the song all the woman stop and stare at Rum Tug Tugger and look love struck. We then have a set dance routine. In the middle of the song Bombalarina and Rum Tum Tugger have a small duet where Rum Tum Tugger holds Bombalarina but drops her to the fall as he is so self obsessed, and loves the lime light. When the song fades out and Rum Tum Tugger sings about it, we all drop to the fall but Bombalarina continues fan-girling over him so he shuts her mouse, then a black out happens and the song finishes.
Grizabella, The Glamour Cat
I'm not in this song so haven't been rehearsing it, however i do know from watching bits that Grizabella is looking back into the past of what sort of model she used to be and as she reminisces her fellow colleagues and friends join in with sympathy that she is not wanted as a model due to her age.
Bustopher Jones
In this song our choreography can be very be very literal, which fits in with the style of what song it is. In the middle of the song Josh begins singing by imitating Bustopher Jones and then other characters become involved with this imitating. The motif of this dance is the models and staff employees taking the mick out of a manager in the fashion house.
Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer
This is again a song i am not involved in but the motif for this dance is that Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are thieves in the fashion house. However, they do work their but they take all the unused models clothes for themselves.
Old Deuteronomy
The Battle Of the Pekes and the Pollicles
This song involves the year 12s. The motif for this dance is the reporters and paparazi coming together to try get information about the Jellicle Ball, the year 12s are the reporters and paparazi. They have a small set routine which has dramatic pauses and pose holds in it. In this song the paparrazi will have over the top cameras as props.
The Jellicle Ball
This song is the party held at the fashion house, this song as a slow build up involving whispering which connotates as background noise from a party, then suddenly this burst of music and the party comes to life.
Memory
Act 2
Moments Of Happiness
At the beginning of the this song is it song by my character Quaxo and Bombalarina, we are acting hungover after the party of the Jellicle Ball.
Gus The Theatre Cat
In that the beginning of this song we are in a triangle with the point at the top of the cat walk, cherkhana sings and we slowly gather both sides of the cat walk while making a path for them to walk under, then there is some simple movements. Later on in the song we get in partners and ball room dance, after this we gather in the centre and listen to them singing in sympathy.
