Olivia

Olivia is a common on-stage chorus/swing character in Australian and Asian productions, seeming to originate in the World Tour in 2001 in order to gain more female chorus names. Her name however, does not appear in "The Naming of Cats". Olivia is known as an ensemble and dancing character.

Personality[]

As an onstage swing, Olivia has few opportunities to establish her personality, but she is seen to be friendly, welcoming, and sweet natured. She usually appears to be a young adult cat, not as hyperactive as the kittens.

Appearance[]

Olivia's costume design appears to be the same as the design which was used in the Tent Tour for chorus Jemima, a take on John Napier's chorus kitten design nicknamed "AJ", "Almost Jemima".

She is a pale tabby and white cat, with long, soft stripes and distinctive ginger fluff mixed in with darker fluff on her shoulders. She varies from a fawn base to more grey tone, depending on production.

Role[]

Olivia is a chorus cat, an onstage swing. This means she does not have any featured moments, as the performer understudies six or more other roles, and the character is cut when doing so. She dances in large ensemble numbers and sings chorus.

She seems to usually be the adult female swing, covering roles such as Grizabella, Demeter, Jennyanydots etc.
