Personality[]
Grizabella is very lonely and haunted. She desperately wants to be accepted and adored again, but she has fallen from grace and is no longer accepted by the tribe. But despite being shunned repeatedly, she does not give up. Grizabella is a strong-willed survivor.
Jennifer Hudson said of her character: "She comes with a weight and heaviness to her. I feel like when you get to see part of the story, you will want to know more of it. And when you hear her, you feel her. Just talking about it, I'm shaken by it."
Appearance[]
Grizabella has a scratch, a scar above her eye, which is a huge part of her character as well.
