George Hankers as Carbuckety, and Nathan Zach Johnson as actual George! 2022 Asia tour, 31 Jan 2023.

This was posted as an insta story by an audience member but alas I lost the record of who. Usually this would mean I wouldn't post without attribution but we do not get much content for George getting love, so. Thank you, whoever you are!

And good news everyone: the international tour swing characters are back!! And they've also had redesigns!

The UK/International tour, like the London productions, typically have a swing costume unique to each booth swing, which they can use to swing on but also use for photo days, curtain call on closing night, or for special events when they want the whole company onstage without doubling characters. The chorus versions of Deuteronomy, Grizabella, and Tugger are used for this, as well as some other named or unnamed swings.

Here we have, left to right in the back row: Connor McAllister (young Deut), Carrie Willis (baby Griz), Roan Pronk (Victor! my beloved Victor!), Daniel Timoney (chorus Tugger), and Anna Campkin (character name unknown, but she has turned up in this tour before - I've seen photos of the same character from 2017 and 2018).

Front row: Freddie Clements (George), and Kayleigh Thadani (Electra).

And here's a closer look at Victor, because I'm excited to have him back and it's a design that goes right back to Napier's originals, including a triangle patch under one eye!

George, by comparison, has very little in the way of facial markings, except for some hatching above one eyebrow and on his cheekbones. So he's lost the dark patches on both eyes and muzzle, but he's kept the greys and browns in his unitard . Here he is with Carbuckety (Joel Cooper), whose eye patch has lost the stripe pulling across the nose...

also hey look, some cute Georgibuckety:
