#tuggstoffelees

I'M DOWN TO THE WIRE AGAIN THIS YEAR BUT!!!

some good ol' fashion tugstoffelees for @feral-cryptidz ( hi again !!! :D ) - though obviously with my standard tsundere misto flair since i can't help myself

First of all, we were stuck in the top balcony and it was super hard too see the stage, but some stuff ended up happening and we were moved down to orchestra level!! We were so close and it was literally insane. But here are some things I took notice of!!

So, firstly, Zach Bravo handed off his title as Rum Tum Tugger to Travis Anderson!! I was very sad to not see Zach (I follow him on tiktok) but Travis was amazing!!! We also had a possible understudy for Munkustrap, but understudy or not, José Raúl Mangual did awesome!

Some things I was keen to notice character wise:

Mr Mistoffelees and Jellylorum were by each other a ton!! It seemed that they had a building relationship!

During Tugger’s song, Misto was one of the few kittens fawning over Tugger, and Skimbleshanks kept on trying to shake a pawing misto off his legs!

Tugger really was not interested in Bomba at all. And Travis played him very flamboyant yet sturdy which I loved!

Mistoffelees and Tugger were next to each other during Victoria and Platos dance when they all lay down!

They had Gus sing the awefull battle of the pekes and the pollicles (he also gave the song to munka) amd them dressed as the great rumpus cat. They also changed the racist lyric to “Winsome Chinese”

Maybe 5 minutes before act 2, Old Deuteronomy came on stage and just walked around and looked at the audience! A lot of people waved (of course I did as well)

There wasnt an Electra, Ecetera, or Exotica. We were also missing an Asparagus Jr! But I had no issue with it! (The kitten group was just smaller)

The actress for Grizabella gave my goosebumps goosebumps. She was amazing!

The Deuteronomy brothers have some similarities on the way that they seek attention for Demeter and Misto. But it's kind of the opposite way.

Tugger is in charge of the performing arts, so he would constantly be bugging Misto with that.

Hey, Misto I need someone to dance to this number my kids are rehearsing we should meet and plan it out. Misto! Want to check up this sheet music?. Misto, do you have something for the next performance yet? We should totally plan it together. Misto I have some plans for the music festival but I need to check it up with you.

And some other trivial things too. A lot of "coincidences".

Misto, I have this salad that I brought but I don't want it anymore, you said you liked this, right? Misto, you wouldn't BELIEVE what happened in first period. Hey, Misto, I'm out of pencils and Munk won't lend me, wanna go with me for some more? I just so happened to find one of your favourite songs and just so happened that I learnt it, wanna listen? MISTO I FOUND A COOL ROCK IT SPARKLES.
