GRIDDLEBONE
1. What do you love about this queen?
I have to admit I haven’t watch that many production with Growtiger song (and when I do it’s always w uncomfortable feeling as an Asian and I kinda stick w non-English production lol) BUT I’m a big fan of her design! The way it’s like a big dress but still fit in with the other cats is really interesting.
2. What is your favorite version of this queen?
From the few I watched, I really like the one in Madrid 2004!
3. Who is your favorite actress that played this queen?
Gorane Markinez! She’s soooo extra and really funny!
4. What is your wlw ship with this queen?
I’ve never really thought about it BUT I remembering seeing Grizabella/Griddlebone and I’m so in with it! The idea of the two divas being like, THE celebrity couple is super interesting.
5. Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical?
You know when she’s like, laying on the big chair and just gestures dramatically? That’s always so funny to me dvjdsk
TANTOMILE
1. What do you love about this queen?
She’s so mysterious and mystical! But also when she’s in the background you can see her doing silly stuff, I love that! I remember someone saying the psychic twins are like, head so full that it cancels each other and now that’s how I think of her sdcjhk
2. What is your favorite version of this queen?
2016 Broadway Revival :)
3. Who is your favorite actress that played this queen?
Faceclaim wise I’m really fond of Kaye Brown but overall I guess I have to say Emily Tate!
4. What is your wlw ship with this queen?
Cass/Tantomile! what’s better than two queens sharing mind link with each other and spend time together. ☺️ I’m also now veryy interested in the idea of Tanto/Teazer tho 👀
5. Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical?
I really like the part where she sings “I believe it is Old Deuteronomy” and in the 2007 dutch tour where she’s like patting munkustrap’s thigh?? that’s really cute 🥺🥺
CASSANDRA
1. What do you love about this queen?
How graceful and how slick her design is! It’s so simple yet very eye-catching, all her movement stole the spotlight with how graceful she is. I also love how while she could be seen as cold, she’s really not. You can see her being protective of the kittens and even playing with them or get excited when helping Misto with his magic. :)
2. What is your favorite version of this queen?
1998!
3. Who is your favorite actress that played this queen?
Rebecca Parker
4. What is your wlw ship with this queen?
Cass/Tantomile again! But I also like Cass/Bomba and Cass/Teazer. Cass/Bomba is very powerful and Cass/Teazer with teazer trying to impress and woo the graceful queen is Very Much something I really like. 👀 👀
5. Your favorite moment of this queen in the musical?
Her dance break in the bway revival Mr. Mistoffelees! The way her whole body lights up always gets me. Also in the 1998 movie in Skimbleshanks when she, I think, eats Tumble’s flea. Didn’t expect that from her but it always make me laugh 😂
