Cats Mannequins

Mannequins inside the New London Theatre.
Tantomile with Casey, our mascot Coricopat- such a gentleman! Tantomile's tail was stolen, so cori's was given to her. Skimbleshanks- gorgeous colouring on the unitard. Jellylorum, with Casey taking a ride!

Mannequins from the Waxworks museum in Blackpool.
Rumour says that these are the original london costumes. hmm. Well, maybe bits of them are?
Let's play a game. Guess the character, then hover over the picture to find out who it is! :)
info.
Mistoffolees, how'd you guess? A VERY Fluffy Deutoronomy ok, so the sign's a giveaway, but Gus. I've never seen that style of makeup before? Waiter! there's a toad in my Cats! Bombalurina, 'The Red Queen', APPARENTLY. I rather like her face, but the mannequin body worries me... well, Cats DO like feather boas... generally to kill tho, not to wear! Another angle on Bomby. Ever tried washing tfeather boa? Ever tried NOT washing a dance unitard? Rum Tum Tugger, with a BIIIIIIG wig! i do like his face as well. Nice Kitty, come here I'll make you a nice costume... Close-up on Gus Deut looks totally insane. those are feathers on Misto's chest, and peering over the fence is MUNGOJERRIE? When was Mungo mainly black?
Now, humour me here?
Compare with Here for original london cast Cats photographs. I don't recognise any of these pieces. I'm not an expert on 80s Cats costumes, but I am fairly confident that this is not a display of early london Cats!
