Some excellent faces at the end of Jenny's number - as, presumably, a wild MIAAAOOOOOW is heard.
Oasis/RCCL cast 10 (2019–20): Megan Carton as Jennyanydots, Benjamin McMillan as Munkustrap, Katie Hahn as Jellylorum, Helen Turner as Demeter, and Michiel Janssens as Skimbleshanks (X).
As the two elder queens sat upon the bumper of the old TSE-1, their needles flying in and out of the canvas with a strange sort of rhythm, a young kit wandered into the clearing. The area was devoid of Jellicles except for these three. The kit sat down in front of the queens, her sharp orange eyes trained on the needle.
“Is there anything you need dear?” Jenny enquired, pausing her movements. Next to her, Jellylorum placed the mesh canvas onto her knees, setting her own needle down.
Uncharacteristically, Electra hesitated, not quickly responding with her usual bluntness.
“I-I, um...” she started, fiddling with her dark tail.
Jellylorum raised an eyebrow, noticing how Electra was avoiding eye contact. She glanced at her mate who gave her a quizzical look back.
“I-I think I like someone! A-A queen! And I-I need some help! B-Because I want t-to ask her to the Ball!” Electra blurted out.
Jenny flashed Electra a smile and patted the space in between her and Jellylorum while the dilute calico moved the needlepoint. Electra gave Jenny her own glad little grin and sat down on the bumper as well.
“Who is she, dear?” Jellylorum asked, leaning forward slightly to put her arm around the red and black and orange torbie.
“T-Tantomile...” Electra mumbled. “How am I gonna ask her though! She never talks to me!”
Over Electra’s head, Jellylorum and Jennyanydots shared a knowing look.
“Well Electra, I’m afraid I had the same predicament as you when I was your age,” Jenny started.
“Y-You did?” Electra said, raising her head slightly to look at the Gumbie Cat.
“Indeed. Jellylover here thought it would be great if she clung to her elder brother for all her kittenhood years,” Jenny fondly smiled at Jelly which caused her mate to lightly snicker.
“Jenny found it incredibly difficult to get me away from Asparagus. But do you know what she did?”
Electra shook her head.
“Well, she asked me, a few weeks before the Ball, to meet her by the tire at sunrise, alone. I, of course, agreed, having some feelings for Jenny myself. That’s when she asked me to dance with her at the Ball,” Jelly smiled at the memory and a dreamy look crossed her emerald eyes.
Jenny nudged Electra and mouthed “Love brain,”, making the kit stifle a snicker.
Jellylorum blinked several times before continuing to speak.
“What I’m suggesting, dear, is to simply ask her. Do something that will make her feel special. ”
Electra slowly nodded and a grateful smile stretched across her face.
“Thanks Auntie Jelly and Jenny!”. She gave each of the queens a quick hug before scampering away and over a few planks of wood to a separate area of the junkyard, seeming much more cheerful than she did when she first appeared.
“Jellylover, eh? That’s a new one,” Jellylorum grinned, raising her eyebrow and the ginger queen. The latter rolled her eyes and kissed Jelly’s cheek.
“You know you like it. I saw you smile,” Jenny said with a smug but friendly tone.
“I also like ‘Jellylorum’. It’s quite a nice name, isn’t it?” Jelly responded, her face breaking out into a larger beam.
“It has a certain ring to it,” Jenny bantered back, nudging her mate with her hip. Jelly laughed, the sound making Jenny feel a little more light inside, and kissed Jenny fully on the lips.
“To forever?”
“Forever,”
A warm feeling enveloped the two of them as Jelly slipped her thin arm around Jenny’s shoulders and Jenny curled her tail around her mate’s waist.
But the tender silence was short-lived, as it was broken by Jenny three seconds later.
“Forever doing what? Sewing, solving problems? Or maybe-”
“Shut up and let us have a romantic moment,” Jelly whispered.
Jenny rolled her eyes again. She liked how much Jelly enjoyed being amorous, although she believed the dilute tabby was far too much influenced by romantic novels.
Nevertheless, Jenny put her head on Jelly’s shoulder and let the feelings and the moment wash over her.
“‘I love thee with a love that shall not die, till the sun goes cold and the stars grow old’,”
Now, Michelle Carter (US tour 6 Jennyanydots) asked Cats tumblr for gifs of her number.
However, in the comments section of the same post she admired Hank Santos (Tugger)'s booty wiggles. So when I opened the video files for this boot and was clicking around to find her number, what should I find but...
A charming gentleman who will win the censorious ladies over by inviting them to a photo op with him...
... followed by an epic She touched the butt 🙀 🤩
Not Hank Santos here, but an equally fine specimen belonging to cover Luke Bernier; with Allyson Duarte as Jellylorum. 2022 US tour, March 2023.
(Several gifsets from her own number will be forthcoming! ❤️)
As it happens I made a bunch of gifs yesterday that I haven't posted yet, so... Does 'clumsy kitten' count as happy?
Jellicles wash behind their ears... ☺️
... Jellicles dry between their toes! 😧
Jenny's face! Jelly scrambling to try to catch collapsing Tumble! Electra's little giggle as she scoops him up to run off with him! And the Jenny/Electra snuggle to congratulate her for a perfect cartwheel, of course.

He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake...
Like a snake??!? 😨
Jenny and Jelly panic themselves offstage with their description of Macavity before the Song of the Jellicles. (Jelly's terrified little squeak is adorable!)

... Neither Gus nor Mungojerrie were emotionally prepared for this.
But Jenny immediately runs over to share the happiness with Jelly!
Oasis cast 11, 26 October 2021, filmed by Robyn Tempest (Grizabella) (X). Nick Woodford as Tugger and Doug Eskew as Deuteronomy; probably Brittany Tooms-Peel and Conor Ashman as Rumpelteazer and Mungojerrie, though I can't make out their faces well enough to be sure; likewise, probably Justin Michael Duval as Gus. Katie Hahn is Jellylorum, Megan Carton is Jenny, and Jacob James Whawell is Alonzo.
Liz Fallon as Jennyanydots, Lauren Mobley as Bombalurina, Jeff Sullivan as Munkustrap, Holli Paige Farr as Jellylorum, and Emily Tanner covering Demeter (X).
Ever wondered about Rumpelteazer and Jellylorum's Hogwarts house?
Rumpelteazer, of course, is the one who argues with the Sorting Hat. Transcription below the cut.
Kelly Donah as Rumpelteazer and Kayli Jamison as Jellylorum, with Alexia Waites (Tantomile) and Megan Arseneau (Jennyanydots) hovering behind. 2021 US tour, 19 January 2022.
KD: This is for Rump. Might be the same questions. ...
AW: It's the same questions! Stupid.
KD: No... correct... yeah, Ravenclaw. You know - no, Rump's a Slytherin.
MA: I feel like you're... Jelly's a Hufflepuff. Or a Gryffindor.
