Original London Production: Anita Pashley
Original Broadway Production: N/A
Video Production: Leah Sue Morland
Age: Kitten

Personality: Electra, one of the four female kittens, spends her time with Etcetera, Jemima, and Victoria. Electra is young and energetic but is sometimes a bit shy. She partakes in all of the Jellicle songs and dances, and, like the rest of her friends, is in love with the Rum Tum Tugger. Electra often mimics her fellow Cats and fits in well with the Tribe.

Song or Dance Solos: None

Name: (Greek) shining; brilliant. Legendary princess who saved the life of her brother Orestes and led the Greeks in the Trojan war.

Additional notes: Sometimes Electra and Etcetera are listed as members of the original London cast, and sometimes their names are absent. This is due to the fact that in the original London production, the cast included two nameless female kittens. Early into the musical’s run, the kittens were given the names Electra and Etcetera. In retrospect, some CATS fans refer to the originally nameless kittens as their later-assigned names, explaining the character’s presence--or lack of presence--on the Original London cast list.
