Grizabella

Grizabella is referred to as "the glamour cat". She supposedly left the Jellicle cats a while ago wanting to see the real world and be a star.

She now comes back to the Jellicle cats all old and worn out. Most of the older cats who knew her before, scratch and claw at Grizabella for leaving. The kittens try to touch her and know her but the elders pull them away.

During her song, "Memory", she is trying to reach out for help. No one, not even Old Deuteronomy, would listen.

Spoilers Ahead!
In "Memory Reprise", a white kitten listens and reaches out. Grizabella is chosen to be reborn and come back to a different Jellicle life. She walks with Old Deuteronomy and gets raised up with a hand from the great beyond.
