Mistoffelees
Mistoffelees is a shy, young magical cat. The first idea of
Mistoffelees was written by T.S. Eliot in his
book of poems about cats. This book is called
Old Possums Book Of Practical Cats. Andrew Lloyd
Webber took it from there years later. He made
the poems in Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats in to
songs for a musical he called CATS. Mistoffelees
was a big part of the musical because of his
magical powers. In the ALW Productions of
CATS Mistoffelees saves the leader of the Jellicles and
preforms many mistical tricks along the way.
Mistoffelees has become a big favoriate of CATS fans.
He is quiet and secretive at the same time as being
seen as loving and kind. Mistoffelees is also admired
by the rest of cats. The Rum Tum Tugger
sings of his magical powers while the chorus
is echoed by the rest of the cast. Misto is a cute
young cat with black fur and a little black bow tie.
The role is a bit of a hard one to play because
of the nature of the dancing. The tom who plays
Misto does numerous toe touches and vigerous dance routines.
