Victoria

Victoria is a principal dancer in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats. She, along with Jemima, represents the spirit of the elegance and beauty of Cats.

Personality
Victoria is a beautiful young kitten. She seems to be one of the sweetest cats, along with Jemima. Her movements are very graceful, elegant and timid, although she is not shy around the Rum Tum Tugger. Due to the real-world feline genetics that dictate that blue eyed white cats are usually deaf, some fans speculate that she is deaf, this is supported by the fact she did not have a mic in the London production. Despite all of this, some fans consider her character a bit conceited. She can sometimes be playful.

Appearance
Victoria is a pure white kitten. She wears a sparkly pink collar that offsets her pale markings. she also is a very beautiful white cat.

Practically speaking, putting a pure white costume under stage lighting washes out all the costume details so while the impression given is pure white, she is actually fairly detailed. She has light gold, tan or grey markings on her costume. She has a pink or black nose, or even dark copper markings on the sides of her face.

Role

 * "Strong dancer with good ballet training"

Victoria is the principal ballerina in the show. While she doesn't sing, she features heavily in the dance numbers, while also playing a chorus role during the character numbers. She dances with Mr Mistoffelees as he sings the Invitation to the Jellicle Ball. During the Ball, in one of the more mature scenes in the show, we see Victoria's first mating dance with Plato. While Jemima has the revelation of what Grizabella is suffering, Victoria is the second to accept, but first to touch Grizabella. their efforts bringing her back into the tribe.

Victoria and Jemima are often put together and perform at showcases to represent the two sides of the show; Victoria standing for grace, beauty, and elegence, and Jemima standing for innocence, emotion and playfulness.

Andrew Lloyd Webber has said that originally they wanted one actress who was both the beautiful solo dancer that is Victoria, and the sweet-voiced soprano that is Jemima. However when they couldn't cast a dancer with a strong enough voice, the concept of the female kitten was split into the two roles.

Victoria, the White Cat, is often used to represent the "spirit" of the musical. On the last night of the original London production, a young girl dressed as Victoria danced, representing the next life of the musical. When the Broadway production of Phantom of the Opera overtook Cats as the longest running Broadway show, it was Victoria who appeared on-stage at Phantom.
