More Ben the Theatre Cat! Though sadly, no Benstopher.

Deuteronomy here is Andrew Dunne—it was the fact that Karlis (Gus) and Brad (Deut) were off at the same time that meant Ben got to play Gus, since Andrew is first cover for both. Tugger is Dan Partridge.

Last week, Benjamin Colley (booth swing on the 2020 Asia tour) got to go on as Tugger for what he expected to be the last time, as the end of his contract approaches. He posted an instragram selfie with the caption "I guess this is goodbye, old friend" (a quote from Into the Woods).

But yesterday (1 May 2021) he unexpectedly got a chance to go on for the only one of his cover roles he's never done before (due to the persistent good health of Karlis Zaid): Gus the Theatre Cat!

He is a very long wiggly Gus.

Also Alice Batt as Jellylorum, Rafe Watts as Munkustrap, Dan Partridge as Tugger, and Hayden Baum as Skimbleshanks.
