Pounce: I’ll make it up to you, Lecky, I promise. Listen, if there’s ever a night where you can’t sleep, I’ll come to your room and sing “Kumbaya.”

Electra: Pounce, I don’t know what to say. Yes, I do.

Electra: Don’t ever do that.

Protector Bomba and Skimbledad! Two great tastes that go perfectly together.

During the second Macavity scare - if you look closely in the bottom right of the first gif, you can see Alex Snova's Admetus cowering and nicely framed by some junk at the foot of the stage. So no blame can be attached to him this time!

Vienna revival, 19 June 2022. Birgit Arquin as Bombalurina, Gerben Grimmius as Skimbleshanks, Tommie Luyben as Carbuckety, Susannah Murphy as Electra, and Denise Jastraunig as Jellylorum. Filmed by @falasta.

kittens!

Emily Casey as Cassandra, Mukeni Nel as Carbuckety, George Hankers as Mungojerrie, Rafe Watts as Munkustrap...

... Anina Pletscher as Electra, plus Mukeni again...

... and Anina covering Victoria! Plus Xavier Pellin's back, as Mistoffelees.

Photographs by Hayden Baum (Skimbleshanks) in the Asia tour, throughout February 2022 (X). The photo of Anina as Victoria must be the 18th or 19th of February, since those are the only dates so far on which she's covered Victoria.

George and Electra for day 4!

Georgie and Lettie uwu

everybody! I have a very important announcement!

You know how 2021 US tour Skimbledots (Chris Salvaggio and Michelle Carter) refer to each other as 'work wife/husband'?

Well, guess who else does.

Kelly Donah and Max Craven! (Over domestic shopping lists, no less.)

US tour Mungoteazer confirmed!

Also, incidentally, it's not just US tour Skimbledots: there's a pattern throughout the whole of the Broadway revival and subsequent tour(s) of the 'canon couples' referring to each other this way. Skimbledots is the big one for husband/wifing each other, and Demestrap does it a bit too—I particularly remember Dan Hoy (2019 Munk) saying that for each of his Demeters. Platoria is another major canon couple, though since it's more of a budding romance they don't tend to use marriage words so much.

With that background, 'work husband' implies that Mungoteazer has a similar canonical status as Demestrap and (particularly) Skimbledots: they are an established couple within the timeline of the show, and the actors probably get that as a direction when creating their characters.

And just for fun: Aaron Albano (swing then Skimbleshanks on Broadway) listed three tracks as his 'couple tracks' with fellow swing Francesca Granell: Mungoteazer, Skimbledots, and Pouncilectra.

Pouncival: surgery is just like stabbing people to life

Electra: please never become a surgeon

[totallyaccuratecats]

Pouncival: If I cut off my leg and swing it at your head, am I hitting you or kicking you ?

Electra: You'll probably end up mentally scarring me more than anything

[totallyaccuratecats]

Coricopat: Babe, let's slow dance.

Carbucketty: *does the Macarana at 1/4 speed*

Electra: Babe, do you wanna slow dance?

Electra and Pouncival: *both doing the Macarana at 1/4 speed*

Jemima and Tumble: *actually slow dancing*

[totallyaccuratecats]

Pounce: there's nowhere for you to sit.

Electra: *gestures to three empty spots*

Pounce: but there's nowhere for you to sit!

Electra: there are multiple places for me to sit.

Pounce: but there's nowhere for you to sit!

Electra:

Electra: you want me to sit on your lap, don't you?

Pounce, pulling Electra onto his lap: it was painfully obvious

[totallyaccuratecats]

Pouncival, sculling a redbull mixed with coffee: So if you add orange juice and egg and cook it, would it taste like orange juice or egg? You know what?! Let's go downstairs and try

Jelly, grabbing the cup: Pounce... Love its 3am I don't think you should-

Electra, from behind Pouncival with the eggs and juice: Let him speak Miss Jelly. This is science of the up most importance

Jelly, sighing: Why do I even try anymore

[totallyaccuratecats]

Electra: I want Mac and Cheese but I see nothing but greed.

Pouncival: all I did was eat a bit of your cheese

Electra: NO SHIT WHY ELSE WOULD YOU THINK I'M FUCKING BE MAD AT YOU POUNCE??!

Jemima gives George and Electra her blessing - resulting in two fine healthy babies! That's a bit creepy, Jemima, but we appreciate it.

Sharrod Williams and Lili Froelich, with Arianna Rosario's Sillabub.

Broadway revival George/Electra (alright, they'd call it Pouncival/Electra) for day 13 of Jellicle ships month: Electra day!
