#much quality

Today Anneke Brunekreeft played Bomba and I LOVE HER! I mostly seen her as Demeter but also as Tantomile and I loved her in every role. The main Bomba in Vienna plays her quite cold and Brunekreeft plays her a little bit warmer (?) if that makes sense.

Jo Lucy Rackham played Demeter and she is THE ABSOLUTE SUPER SWING. Talented, brilliant, knows every role she plays so well, is so much fun. No words.

I was so happy seeing them playing Demeter and Bomba together so I focused a lot on them.

Also todays shout out to Mr. Dominik Hees. He is the main Tugger in Vienna but hardly known by fans cause he is not as active on social media. He has an absolute amazing voice and brings so much fun and love to the role.

Next shout out to Petra Ilse Dam. She mostly plays Tantomile (today too) and sometimes plays Bomba. She is absolute amazing and I love the detail she brings to the role. She is very in sync with her Coricopats but not only defiened by them. She really has her own personality.

So some notes for today:

When Munkustrap (Auler) was singing the beginning of the Old Gumbie Cat Demeter and Bomba were sitting next to each other and holding hands. It seemed like Bomba was convincing Demeter, who wasn’t sure about joining, to go with her to sing. She gladly did after a short while. Together with Jellylorum (Obermeier) they were the happiest three cats, just hyping Jenny up.

Brunekreeft Bomba has an absolute amazing chemistry with Tugger and watching them during the Rum Tum Tugger is so much fun. Also: I do not know what’s going on between Tugger and Tantomile in Vienna but she likes him quite a lot and today they shook their asses together haha.

At the end of the Rum Tum Tugger when he sings and the girls scream, Bomba pettet Carbucketty (Nathan Luke) so he firstly stayed at her side. When she started to “feel herself” as reaction to Tugger and to ignore him, he seemed offended and moved to Bill Baily to kind of judge her together with him. Bill didn’t really care thou.

When Grizabella appeared Demeter was very sad that she couldn’t touch her. Bomba collected her and hold her arm/hand. First Demeter was looking away, but after a while she looked at Bomba. When she stood up to sing, Munkustrap wanted to stop her but Bomba stood up herself and gestured him to let her sing, what he did. Later Bomba joined her. There is like a mute dialogue between Bomba and Munk, it’s like him saying don’t interact with HER, and Bomba saying, let her sing, listen to her and at the end he lets her sing and listens.

Also Sinisi played Alonzo and I love how he feels the need to protect especially Victoria (Hannah Kenna Thomas) from Grizabella. Evil old lady.

At the end of Bustopher Jones Bomba was genuinely happy for Jenny when she got the flower.

At the beginning of Pekes and Pollicles Demeter clawed at Tugger’s when he made fun of Munkustrap. She need to protecc future boyfriend.

Also before the dogs of every nation part, Mungojerrie (Jan-Eike Majert) gave Rumpleteazer (Anna Carina Buchegger) a short clap on her behind (?), when she is on her way to pop up between Munk’s legs and then chest bumps Plato (Nicholas Li). It’s such a bro move and I love it. They always do it.

I LOVE THE FUCKING JELLY BALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mungojerrie usually enjoys the Bomba section very much. He loves Bomba. After the Bomba section Tugger carries her to the tire and they have some private time while everybody just keeps dancing. Today they also kind of kissed/touched their noses afterwards which was quite cute.

Second half of the Jelly Ball. V formation girls, Teazer danced for Tugger again, he got up and danced behind Jemima (Anastasia Bertinshaw), then before Bomba joined Misto, Bucky and the queens, she walked up to Tugger and he took her face between his hands and they had a short moment (today there were a lot of Bomba and Tugger, Bomba and Demeter interactions and I loved it).

SECOND ACT

Love how Demeter and Munkustrap great each other at the beginning of the second act, they seem kind of shy but in love. Also Tugger kind of nuzzeled Misto’s (Johnny Randall) hand but he wasn’t having it.

During Gus Bombalurina cleaned Alonzo and later let him lie on her. It seemed like he politly asked and she said yes (don’t know what’s going on between Alonzo and Bomba in the Vienna Revival, but they seem to like each other very much and I support).

Also Munkustrap lies next to Old D., has a small interaction with Jemima and then moves down to Demeter to interact with her. Today they nuzzeled each other’s head and Demeter lovingly clawed Munkustrap’s back when he left to get ready for the pirate number and he enjoyed it.

Barbara Obermeier, who is the main Jelly and played her today, has one of the absolute most beautiful voices and she puts so much acting into the Gus number, emphasizing important parts and hyping Gus up in a loving way. She really knows how to not sound monotone and I love her as Griddlebone. She is so much fun, dramatic and a little bit cheeky.

Something I never wrote before: Rumpleteazer is usually very sad when Gus enters the stage to sing his number and she kind of tries to leave but Mungojerrie convinces her to stay. After his number she is also very sad and it seems like Old Deut (Rory Six) starts the Skimbleshanks number to cheer her up.

Another thing today: At the end of Gus Carbucketty was lying on Alonzo’s legs. Usually Alonzo is not so happy about the Schlimms but today he let him cuddle.

Skimbleshanks

Meghan Peploe-Williams played Cassandra today and she didn’t hesitate one second to tell on Electra. She is a fun Cassandra too, a little less proud then the main Cassandra I would say.

First Macavity appearence Mungojerrie hid behind Old Deut. Poor bebe was scared.

MACAVITY NUMBER AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry

But

Love love love it so much. Enjoy it everytime.

During the Mungojerrie and Griddlebone part Demeter touched Bomba’s sideleg hehe. I don’t know why but all in all, no matter who plays them I love this part so much. Also Bomba was really feeling the footprints at scotland yard part, Demeter killed the chicken bones (too lazy to look up the english lyrics so have some vague ones).

I love the Macavity fight it’s just everything. Jo Demeter is always reaching out to Macavity (played by the talented Li), but shocked when he grabs her arm. Tantomile tried to hold her back, Bomba and Munk came to the rescue and after Demeter was freed, Bomba crouched over her to shield her from Macavity and that was everything I could have asked for. (Yes, play into my own headcanons pspspsps).

Also love how Vicky protecc Alonzo at the end. Hehe.

Misto number: Vienna palys that gag where Misto sets Tugger’s tale on fire and Tantomile is usually the first one to take care of him after that and see if he is alright. Hees Tugger knows every part of the Misto Choreo and he immitates smaller parts in the background which is cute and fun. He also cuddles with Bomba until it’s time to hype the conjuring turns. Tantomile got her private hip show during the second verse and today Coricopat was nowhere to be seen to look offended. He only joined her when she was following Tugger.

Also Carbucketty was very bussy today playing with the red cloth he nearly forgot to rais his hand. He liked the red big thingy very much.

Today after Grizabella was reaccepted by the tribe after Demeter and Bombalurina touched her they both held hands and looked so happy. Also Electra and Victoria where holding hands / cuddeling during the heavyside layer part.
