Demelonzo

Demelonzo is the fandom pairing of Demeter and Alonzo.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Demeter and Alonzo were implied to be a couple in most worldwide productions, with Alonzo protecting Demeter by fighting off Macavity when he tries to kidnap her. In these productions, Demeter will typically comfort Alonzo after he is hurt from the fight.

In this staging tradition, Alonzo is 'golden Alonzo' (bronze/brown and black rather than the black and white London design), and takes a larger part of the fight than Munkustrap does, as Munkustrap gets knocked out earlier than in the London tradition. (See here for an example from Hamburg 1999).

Following the release of the 1998 film which paired Demeter with Munkustrap instead, the use of this pairing in replica productions has declined. With the adoption of London designs and staging by the Australasia productions and, especially, the Broadway revival (which implies Demeter/Munkustrap instead), there are now no longer any replica productions worldwide which foreground Demelonzo as a couple.
