Not ‘the Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore’ but 'der Rum Tum Tugger bringt Bewegung ins Haus’: the Rum Tum Tugger brings energy/movement into the house. Ie, he gets the party started. 👀 Allow Mistoffelees to show you how.
You’ve messed up a perfectly good Cassandra is what you did, look at her, she’s forgotten her dignity.
… Mistoffelees never said he didn’t like the energy.
Bonus: vibing
Vienna revival: Stephen Martin Allan as Mistoffelees and Dominik Hees as Tugger, with George Maniadis as Admetus and Anneka Dacres as Cassandra. First three gifs are 23 June 2022, filmed by @cryptidvoidwritings and @falasta; the last one is from 6 May 2022, filmed by @thunderwhenhepurrs.
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore!
... you touch the Mistoffelees? You bap him on the shoulder and expect him to fawn over you like one of your fan club? Oh! Dramatic hissy fits for Tugger!!
Alex Snova as Tugger and Riccardo Sinisi as Mistoffelees; Vienna revival, March 2022.
@etchif That’s a great point! Although each of the three Vienna Mistoffelees for whom we have footage interprets that line differently.
Riccardo’s Mistoffelees above is sarcastic and does not approve of this particular party atmosphere, thank you very much, he is much offend.
Matt Levick’s Mistoffelees is much baby and confuse? maybe a bit worried? what mood is this that Tugger has brought to the house? how to cope with everyone suddenly going wild?? his voice is uncertain too, it’s adorable. help tugger is paying him attention, he’ll just run over here and panic a bit.
(With Dominik Hees as Tugger, 24 May 2022, footage by @falasta and @cryptidvoidwritings)
But Stephen Martin Allan? oh yep, he is definitely feeling The Mood in The House. He’s sassy about it - looks around at what everyone’s doing, gestures to The Shenanigans, delivers the line with some bite - but he’s into it. (That little smirk at the end after Tugger baps him and does a hip thrust - curse you, spotlight washout.)
(With Dominik’s Tugger, George Maniadis as Admetus and Anneka Dacres as Cassandra, 23 June 2022, @cryptidvoidwritings and @falasta again.)
And after delivering the line…. well. Speak with your hips, boy.
(6 May 2022, footage by @thunderwhenhepurrs)
Admetus is Looking Disrespectfully (but that counts as respectful, for Jellicles).

(Plato just wants him to have fun, ok?)
At least Tumblebrutus is willing to come and sit with him for a bit. (And tease him.)
Jack Duff as Skimbleshanks, Lewis Rimmer as Plato, Cory Betts as Pouncival, and Bennett Ryan as Tumblebrutus; Oasis cast 13, May 2023 (X).
Plato has acquired a Ball! And a brief Tugger attention.
Also some fellow Tugger stans!
(Meanwhile, guess who has to pick up after him.)
Lewis Rimmer as Plato, Jarrad Green as Tugger, Grace Crugnale as Cassandra, Cory Betts as Pouncival, and Sam Bateson as Mistoffelees. Oasis cast 13, May 2023 (X)
Plato indulging in a little bit of sexy thigh-clawing as he watches Tugger entertain his fans. 👀
Skimbleshanks, of course, is not at all interested. That’s why he hasn’t blinked in five minutes.
Lewis Rimmer as Plato, Jack Duff as Skimbleshanks, Emily Ormistion as Bombalutina, Jarrad Green as Tugger, and Anna Sofia McGuire as Rumpelteazer; Oasis cast 13, May 2023 (X).
Plato just thinks Skimbleshanks should stop pouting and get with the sexy funtimes of Tugger’s song! 🍑
