Casa Manana friend opening night review (AND some me-comments)

This is the best review of CATS ever. So many shows, this is my favorite. I have been laughing nonstop.

I haven’t seen the show!

But I wanted to point out that Korie Lee Blossey is a national treasure. This is his first show since Genie when he was injured, and he’s looking GREAT—but mostly the kindness. “The Moments of Happiness” is my favorite song by far. This year, I’m blessed to have two extraordinary actors (Korie Lee Blossey and Will Mann (Hadestown/Oklahoma)) play him. I mentioned that I will absolutely cry because I always do, but I might cry a little extra with healing tears.

And Korie, bless him, SANG “Moments of Happiness” for me.

I cried. Hard. Those were healing tears. I am grateful.

Jackson Dunlap is an incredibly talented actor and HE MADE THE CHOO CHOO canon! Macavity’s villain origin story was that train!

And now for just some clarification (and a request for kindness towards the theatre and ourselves). There was a little more than I thought...

-We only found out today that we were credited for costume design, hair & wig design, and make up design. We had no clue. We thought it was a rental. We had absolutely no input for the cowboy attire. We don't know which song pieces, if any, will be used. It was very kind of the theatre to laud our work but I feel for whoever pulled those pieces and hope people recognize that because we would never want to take credit away from someone.

-We did NOT make that Grizzabella wig. We sent a different one.

-There was some miscommunication with wig styling that we noticed. Although it wasn't our job (to our knowledge... again we thought we were just doing a rental), we reached out last night and I did a speed run tutorial on how to restyle a wig, intentionally using a very damaged wig. You all are welcome to watch, it's on Instagram. Easy peasy--especially if you'd like to ever purchase or adopt one of our to-be-retired wigs and practice.

So... here comes my ask. It's a big one...

*I am humbly requesting kindness and patience from the fandom since I know some people have thoughts on wigs. I am NOT asking for fake reviews, to be clear. Just kindness in one area I'll explain.

Miscommunication happens, things in general happen. Most of the wigs had a great start for today, and through the run they will get better and better. Misto was given tied ears but you know what? Go for it. Why not? Deut has rolled ears but you know what? Go for it.

If there are promo pics/video with wigs that look like they need some love, please understand that they were shipped unstyled deliberately because of the amount of damage that happens in shipping--if we sprayed PERFECTLY for a production like that, it'd cause the designer way more work which we didn't want to do--AND we weren't sure if they were wearing cowboy hats, which would need a very different styling.

These wigs are top notch, have HEAVY endurance, and I'm sure they'll show more with the run as it goes on but we WILL show work at The Fulton, I promise, so you can see what happens. The Fulton pics with make up are with unstyled, out-of-the-box wigs so that's a PERFECT example of what happens in shipping, and what happens in just 5-15 minutes of styling. :)

And seriously, yes, I absolutely KNOW what some people think about wigs so this is a lot to ask for with trust and kindness. These actors are so incredibly talented, and production worked very, very, very hard at this. Absolutely have your opinions of the show--I want to be clear I am NOT asking for fake reviews, goodness no! I'm just asking for wigs to consider a little kindness and patience. Already, it was night and day with some of the wigs and I promise they will get BETTER and BETTER.

-You can see @cryptidvoidwritings's Rumpleteazer warmers... but there's no picture yet of MACAVITY! And a... surprise! When there are, we can share more. My friend came in clutch so hard, and I have been so, so, so very grateful. We are going to work together still, and I'm hoping she's game to design a few chorus cats with me. :)

So TL;DR, if you are in Texas (I know the state's huge), this is an AMAZING cast... so stacked. And my friend WOULD say if she didn't care for it. I love this review so much, genuinely. I love to laugh. I love enthusiasm. I love the love for it.

If you see Casa Manana, or The Fulton, and you have it in you to write up anything with your thoughts of the show, I'd love to see them!

Thank you for your incredible support. It means a ton!

And again the ton of designer things... you can look at my recent posts from this week, past month. I didn't know until today, because of social media!
