The swing boys of the 2021 US tour living up to vision of Dame Gillian Lynne: Kieran Macdonald as Tumblebrutus, Connor Orion Bermingham as Alonzo, and Brian Nelson as Coricopat.

(They're in Denver at the moment and struggling with the altitude, so apparently this is what happened when you get oxygen-deprived kitties. Video below the cut! 26 May 2022.)

oh, and look who's here:

[jellicle-home-for-jellicle-ships]

"It takes a village" Alonzo, "just let it all hang loose" Coricopat, and their mutually incomprehensible hair care regimes.

(Or, you know, George Maniadis and Jan-Eike Majert getting ready for their post-lockdown premier, Vienna revival 14 December 2021.)

Alonzo, to Coricopat: would you say you're independent?

Corico: *looks at Tantomile who nods*

Corico: yes

Suzie Melloy had her baby!

Suzie, who was Bombalurina in the 2017 and 2020 Asia tours, didn't join the 2022 Taiwan leg of the tour on account of being eight months pregnant at the time when the others were flying into Taipei.

And now she's had her baby!

Plus some comments from castmates (Tyler is Victoria, Rafe is Munkustrap, and Ben (Almon) Colley was a Rafe/Munk cover):

I won't repost the photos here, but if you want a couple of newborn Bomba baby photos, there are two on her instagram (and I'm sure there'll be more to come): X X.

Meanwhile here's her Bomba a year ago today (28 Feb 2021)....

With Fletcher Dobinson's Alonzo, and Aaron Lynch's Coricopat playing their little love triangle game in the curtain call! (Source. Dan Partridge is Tugger and Emily Casey is Demeter.)

Tired Plonzopat collapsed on the bed and playing fifty(ish) questions, because Admetus still has energy, curse him.

Nicholas Li as Admetus, George Maniadis as Alonzo, and Riccardo Sinisi covering Coricopat, Vienna revival. Transcript below the cut.

N: Welcome to fifty questions here in Cats! What is your favourite colour, guys?

G: Blue.

R: Black.

N: What is your favourite makeup in Cats?

G: ... none.

R: Rum Tum Tugger.

N: Favourite part in the show?

G: Act II.

R: Uh... *to George incredulously* oh my god come on... Mr Mistoffelees??

N: Mr Mistoffelees, amazing. And what is the best part in this dressing room?

G: My station.

R: When George show his arse.

N: *dismissively* He always shows us his arse. What is your least favourite part of the show?

G: When I'm really tired.

R: I don't know that. Tours. [the fugal section of the Jellicle Ball where Alonzo, Carbucketty, and Mistoffelees are competing]

[All three talk over each other for a moment]

N: And final question, what is your favourite day to perform?

G: ... Tuesday?

R: Mmmm .... Friday?

N: Not quite fifty questions but we made it there! Yay!

Sorry, did you say something? I got distracted by the adorableness of Phillip Deceus' Alonzo.

(2019 US tour. Plus PJ DiGaetano as Coricopat, Arianna Rosario as Sillabub, Alexa Racioppi as Demeter, and Brett Lockley as George/Pouncival.)

When Coricopat is covered by Thalia or Caitlin, we get a very elegant pair of lady twins.

When Tantomile is covered by Taylor, we get... sillytime boys. They managed to stay dignified for the actual bow, but then...

1. What was meant to be an elegant single sweep of the arms turns into a windmill.

2. Ooh, Taylormile spots The Pipe! Sometimes Coricopat and Bill Bailey and George squabble over who gets to sit on the pipe! Taylor sits on the pipe. Will this start anything?

3. They’re a terrible influence on Jemima and Bill Bailey.

4 and bonus 5. Aaroncopat loses all his bones. Alonzo... doesn’t want to know. He is above all this.

2020 Asia tour, 26 February 2021. Aaron Lynch as Coricopat and Taylor Scanlan as Tantomile; plus Fletcher Dobinson as Alonzo, Anina Pletscher as Jemima, Kade Hughes as Bill Bailey, and Emily Casey as Cassandra.

Sweet Alonzopat!

Strut, strut, fashion Jellicle...!

2020 Asia tour: Tyler Lotzof as Victoria, Aaron Lynch dying of laughter, Emily Casey laughing at them both.

Below the cut: Fletcher Dobinson's much less sfw version of the fashion strut, still with Aaron's enthusiastic endorsement.

Actually, I think he might be wearing Aaron's tail.

Also Ellie Nunan (Jennyanydots), Dominique Hamilton too busy doing her Rumpelteazer makeup to watch the fashion show - and Suzie Melloy (Bombalurina) filming. Wearing her lovely kimono, as we can just glimpse in the mirror.

It’s nice that they’ve learned to get along.

More Bombalonzo for Bombalurina day: Alonzo claims his dance partner from Coricopat and he and Bombalurina challenge each other with a few dance moves!

Fletcher Dobinson and Suzie Melloy, plus Aaron Lynch as Coricopat; 2020 Asia tour, 8 and 9 May 2021.

In which Alonzo would like to remind Coricopat that he believes the lady is engaged to him for this dance, thank you very much.

A tense stand-off between two elegant male animals, in which Coricopat goes up onto his toes to use that extra inch of height to full effect, and Alonzo is the one to look away first! But he totally meant to do that. He was just... heading downstage, to do some wiggling.

2020 Asia tour, 27 February 2021 (2pm): Aaron Lynch as Coricopat, Suzie Melloy as Bombalurina, and Fletcher Dobinson as Alonzo.

Bonus below the cut: when it happened again in the evening performance, Alonzo decided Not To Engage.

(From two different sources, since neither showed it all.)

(source, source.)

Fortunately by the next day they’d learned to share.

Tantomile and Coricopat, Wichita 2007

Played by Paige Williams and David Caamano! (Here with their Siamese costumes over their unitards.)

Paige out of costume above; below, each of them with Plato (Taurean Everett), and Coricopat with Alonzo (Todd Allen Walker).
