One thing I love about almost every replica production design other than the UK-based ones is the variety of shapes in the wigs. OG Vienna, Hamburg, Broadway and tours, OG (and revival) Mexico, OG Amsterdam, Australasia pre-revival: in many cases, especially where the lighting is poor or the colour has faded, I can tell a cat by their silhouette more easily than by their markings or colour.

Sharon Case, head of wigs, described it this way in 2009 (2007–10 Australasia tour):

"Whether they're fluffy, whether they're very neat and well-groomed, if their ears are up or down, if they're an angry cat, a happy cat... everything is told in the way we style the wigs."

But here's one poignant effect of that...

Earlier on in the same video, Sam Marks described his character Alonzo: "He's a very regal, arrogant... a very powerful sort of cat."

However, Alonzo's ears in the Australasian designs almost always look uneven, as if he's holding one up and one down.

The actual degree to which they're styled differently varies, but even if they're styled so as to be almost symmetrical in shape, the positioning of the patches always makes it look as if he carries one higher than the other.

Which, despite the regal arrogance, and despite his physical power... lends itself so beautifully to that word, uncertain.

Vagabond

[Verse] There’s a new girl in town She walks the river alone She hums a little melody That sings like old radios I think it’s Joey I’ve heard A city light full of sparks A pilgrim a collector With a suitcase full of hearts [Chorus] Oh oh oh She’s a vagabond A vagabond Running through the west from the cold east A vagabond A vagabond Running through a hurricane of memories[Verse] A runaway from…
