About What exactly is a fanlisting? TFL.org says, ''A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not official) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting the fans.' CATS According to Wikipedia, CATS is a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and other poems by T. S. Eliot. Although it has never been critically acclaimed, CATS is one of the most popular musicals of all time having been performed around the world in numerous productions (the show has been translated into over 20 languages). Jennyanydots, The Old Gumbie Cat Jennyanydots first appeared in T.S. Eliot's poem "The Old Gumbie Cat". Described as a tabby cat with tiger stripes and leopard spots, Jennyanydots is very fat because she appears lazy and sleeps all day. But at night she rules the house, teaching mice and rats household duties and even attempting to civilize the cockroaches. When Andrew Lloyd Webber made a musical based on the book of poems, the poem was set to music to create the song "The Old Gumbie Cat." In London, the song was originally sung by Quaxo with Bombalurina and Jellylorum in the chorus. In Broadway and current productions it is sung by Munkustrap and Demeter is part of the chorus. At the end there is a long tap sequence where Jennyanydots shows off her dancing skills. Jennyanydots is very motherly, and tends to look after the kittens when Grizabella comes around. She is friends with Jellylorum, particularly in the video, and usually seems to have affections towards Skimbleshanks. She also greatly admires Bustopher Jones, and the feelings may be mutual; he tosses a flower to her at the end of his own song, most of which Jennyanydots sings herself. Jennyanydots is a no-nonsense Cat and plays a large part in the show. Poem The Old Gumbie Cat by T.S. EliotThree Cheers! Name: Three Cheers!
I do not own or have anything to do with CATS. It's a copyright of T.S. Eliot and The Really Useful Group. This is simply a fanlisting for their wonderful character Jennyanydots as well as her trademark song! Credits Header picture: Felina's Jellicle World
