Cats premièred in 1981, and was a catalyst in the 1980s Lycra Revolution. Early cast photos show a rapid development in techniques used in Cats costumes, from the Original London Cast wearing commercial patterned suits with experimental paints, to early productions trying to solve the problems presented by the dance-heavy show.

  • Cats premièred in 1981, and was a catalyst in the 1980s Lycra Revolution. Early cast photos show a rapid development in techniques used in Cats costumes, from the Original London Cast wearing commercial patterned suits with experimental paints, to early productions trying to solve the problems presented by the dance-heavy show. One of the biggest problems is in dressing - getting the costumes on and off. A back seam zipper is common in commercial unitards, however this has distinct disadvantages in a dance-heavy show - the back zip doesn't stretch and move with the performer, and when a zip fails it takes time and patience to repair and would leave the performer unable to go onstage until it is fixed. The solution was to use the shoulder seams as the opening, using either poppers or hooks and eyes to fasten the neckline. These fastenings are then generally disguised by the shoulder "Fluffies", however on characters like Cassandra the fastenings are often more apparent.
