On stage, the Jellicle Cats purr and meow like crazy. But backstage and off set, they get themselves even crazier - with a mishmash of make up, wardrobes, sets, props and more. Here are five untold stories for you.
Make up: We agree that the cats look stunning with their lively make up, don't we? They kind of remind us of characters from the popular 1980's animated series ThunderCats - only that the Jellicles are much more colorful and fun-looking. Ever wondered who would have done all these wonderful face-painting jobs?
"The performers do their make up all by themselves," Penelope Watts, general manager of Cats' touring production team, reveals.
"Of course, we have a make up artist, but she only trains them to do the painting," Watts told The Jakarta Post.
In training, Watts says, the mask guru only paints half part of the performers' faces. "The performers then paint the other half (to practice)."
