okay i just saw cats in düsseldorf from the front row, here are the tuggoffelees moments i picked up on (& still remember):
they did the 1998 version of rum tum tugger with misto saying the "terrible bore" line but not quite as annoyed as he is in 1998, after that misto mostly hung out on the trunk in the back but oh he was Watching™️
literally can't remember anything else from act 1 lmao my memory is awful, but i'm pretty sure they Looked™️ at each other a couple of times
during jellicle ball they had that 1998 moment where misto is at the front of that three-cat-dance-line yk what i mean and tugger walks right up and looks at him
they spent the entirety of gus the theater cat chilling in the back, misto on a pipe and tugger on the oven (i could only see his shoes most of the time sadly), and they looked at each other every few seconds, basically having a silent conversation through gestures while also eyefucking each other
hung out in the back on the tire during skimbleshanks as well, but when they got up to retrieve the parts for the train, tugger climbed off first and misto kinda ruffled the back of his mane?? idk it was very cute
okay and mr mistoffelees (the song) had EVERYTHING lmao, rainbow lights (charmed by misto), the rainbow jacket (& tugger taking it off for him), AND the very rainbow colored band, and misto made an effort to really pull it around him and tugger and not just in a straight line like he sometimes does
after he pulled out the band they interlocked arms and walked across the stage, and they also did that cute flappy finger touch thing they sometimes do? and the whole "misto whispering in tugger's ear" thing in the end. and (unrelated to tuggoffellees but very important to me personally): misto's dance solo was NOT that god awful broadway revival choreography. thank god.
conclusion: appropriately gay. i'm satisfied.
