Cassandra
|
|
One of the more mysterious of the Jellicles, sleek, slender Cassandra is also one of the most beautiful. The trouble is, this queen seems to know it. It seems she prefers to be the center of attention whenever possible—especially when Munkustrap is near (next time you watch the video, count the times she shows off for him. It's like... a lot.) Her nature is rather haughty (well, she IS as Siamese, after all) and she remains cool and graceful throughout the play. She makes sure everyone knows that she indeed was "there when the Pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx" and constantly shows off her "moonlit eyes." | |
| Cassandra's moment of glory comes in act two when Mistoffelees chooses her to be his magical assistant. Together, they restore their beloved Old Deuteronomy to the Jellicle Community, and all is well with the world. Cassandra's unique costume is yet another element which distinguishes her from her fellow Jellicles. She wears neither arm nor leg warmers, and her tail is not made of fluffy yarn, but is actually a rather thick braid. Yes, some feel she's snooty; yes, some claim she's stuck-up; yes, she wears enough mascara to cause a national shortage—but her beauty cannot be denied, and all in all, Cassandra is a lovable member of the Jellicle society. |
