Hey, peeps. Jillylou here. This idea popped into my head while I was writing You Love Me That Much: what would be different if I actually owned Cats. Granted, I'm only going to say what would be different prior to the video. And as much as I would like to, I'm not going to go down my list of favorite couples and say "Tom A and Queen B would be together" 10 times.

Here we go!

-Victoria would open the mating dance with Mistoffelees, instead of Plato.

-Bombalurina would dance with Rum Tum Tugger in the mating dance, instead of Pouncival.

-Munkustrap and Demeter would actually participate in the mating dance. With each other.

(...Okay, that's kind of breaking the rules. Moving on.)

-Tugger would hush Etcetera's squeal by stuffing his tail in her mouth. (Some live productions actually do this!)

-Jacob Brent (Misto) would actually do The Conjuring Turn. (Stupid RUG editing system...)

-I would take most of those spikes off Jemima's collar. (She could get hurt, the poor thing!)

-At the end of "Journey to the Heavyside Layer", Grizabella would come back down and be all rejuvenated and pretty. If on stage, this would be nearly impossible (because of the makeup), but on film, completely doable.

-During the dance that Bomba leads in the Jellicle Ball, Alonzo and Admetus would switch places, and Plato would be replaced with Mungojerrie, while Coricopat was replaced with Plato.

-In the fight scene with Macavity, Jerrie would get a little longer of a fight with him, about a little shorter than the length of Lonzo's fight.

-Misto wouldn't wear that light-up over-coat thingamajig in the first of his number. I really don't find it that flattering. He would just be his sparkly self. Also, he would have his old, fluffy white-tipped tail instead of that scrawny one.

-I would coat the spikes on Tugger's collar with glitter. I can't tell if he already has glitter on his spikes or not, but I'm going to assume not. And if it is...the more glitter the merrier! But gold glitter, so it doesn't look tacky. Just...rock star. *epic hand gesture*

-Bomba's makeup would be altered so she doesn't have such a pudding mouth.

-I would give the Pekes other than Rumpleteazer some screen time. ('Cause let's face it, she's the only one we see!)

-I would consider not using the Bustopher Jones number at all. No offense to you BJ fans, and I really like seeing Jennyanydots being all fan-girly, but I just don't find him entertaining. No, scratch that, I would still keep that number, but I would consider recasting BJ. (Misto has some really adorkable moments in that number!)

-I would paint a tiny little # before the 1 on the TSE1 license plate. (TSE: Numbah One!)

-Pre-Old Deuteronomy wouldn't look like he's wearing an apron.

-Susan Jane Tanner (Jellylorum) would be recast with Bonnie Simmons, who played her on Broadway.

-Jenny's makeup would be altered so that it looks (for lack of a better word) prettier. (In her own number, she's as cute as a ladybug, but in her normal attire, her makeup just isn't all that great. I would definitely take that "beauty mark" off.)

-Victoria's makeup would stay consistent throughout the whole movie, instead of constantly switching back and forth between all-white and beige-outline.

-Misto would still do his "terrible bore" line, but he would dance in the ensemble of "Rum Tum Tugger".

-During "Gus: the Theater Cat", there would be a small part dedicated to his Growltiger performance, kind of like the Firefrorfiddle (sp?) thing. There would still be no "Growltiger's Last Stand", but a vision of Griddlebone would come out as well as FFF.

:D Later
