Bombalurina is a queen in the musical CATS. She is probably one of the most popular. Her most famours feature must be
her ability to flirt and to please toms.
She is red, ad has ether strips or scratch mark like markings on her. She has a white chest and a white patch on her
back. Her leg warmers are usually black with ether grey or white. Her wig is usually red with black and sometimes white.
She is the sexy queen of the Jellicle tribe. The one who drives all the toms wild. She loves dancing and making a big
enterance (As shown in the Jellicle Ball). She loves being center of attention. At times she can act a bit imature as in flirting
to much, but also can be a very mature young adult queen.
Her close friend is Demeter. It is very uncommon to see them apart. Some beleive them to be sisters, but they aren't.
People say they look so simliar but how does red and gold look similar? Bombalurina has a long wig and Demeter has a shorter
wig. Just because they have similar costumes peices (gloves for ex.) doesn't mean their related. Same with Jemima.
Her personality is like, "Actions are now, I'll worry about the future when it comes." She seems to live life to the
fullest. She can be sassy, but still nice. Inside she has a sweet heart (I'm assuming)
It's pretty obivous she has a thing for the Tugger. In every production she and the Tugger flirt during his song. Her
mates variey by preformance though. The Tugger has been her mate before though. (It was quite a shock!)
Her singing voice is always prefered low. Her dancing level is needed to be quite high because of the different dances
she is required to do.
The songs she has a main role in are:
- The old Gumbie Cat
- The Rum Tum Tugger
- Grizabella: the Glamour Cat
- Bustopher Jones
- The Jellicle Ball
- Macavity: The mystery Cat
She is in every song (as most of the characters) but those are the main ones.
Some fans beleive that she and Macavity had a 'thing' which is very possible. While singing his song, she doesn't seem
to fear him, but admire him or possibly want him.
As for Demeter, she was thoguht to be raped, and there is very good evidence for this. In the specail features of CATS,
Gyllian Lynn was working with Aeva May and she said, "The man was wonderful when he made love to me, but i hated him." and
showed her how to move her hand. That could be evidence of rape or a past relationship that didn't work out.
