who wants some protective loomy Munkustrap in your day?

Trick question, we all do. (Especially Admetus who is cowering adorably against Jellylorum.)

And now, prepare for the Leggies of Power.

... and a little somebody to zoom through those leggies.

Alexander Auler, with Nicholas Li as Admetus, Anastasia Bertinshaw as Jemima, and Rory Six as Deuteronomy.

Vienna revival, 24 June 2022; filmed by @falasta and @cryptidvoidwritings, and giffed with permission.

Annemarie Rosano (Jellylorum) and Brayden Newby (Plato) having a sweet little background moment—as interpreted for us by Annemarie! (X)

(Meanwhile, Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer present themselves for attention, which brings Alonzo running over to back Munkustrap up. Cute little Alonzoffelees and Mungoteazer moments, plus Coricomile sliding winningly over to Demebomba for pets and tidying.)

2019 US tour: Alonzo is Adam Vanek and Alex Dorf is Munkustrap; and I think we have Tion Gaston as Mistoffelees, Justin Geiss as Mungojerrie, and Rose Iannaccone as Rumpelteazer.

You know that old joke (especially in 2019) about how the Jellicle tribe is mostly just one big Munkuharem? (Munkustrap can have all the ships.)

In Mexico 2013 he is a bit possessive. And we all know that his legs are Legs of Jellicle Protection.

In the top photo, it's Plato, Tantomile, Tugger, and Munkustrap; in the second, Plato, Jellylorum, Tugger, Cassandra, and Munkustrap.

It's nice that Plato and Tugger are constants!

So far as I can tell: Gerry Pérez as Plato; Marco Salazar as Munkustrap; Edgar Cañas as Tugger; Olivia Bucio as Jellylorum; Alejandra Munguia as Tantomile; Fernanda Patiño as Cassandra.

And when Bombalurina and Munkustrap are distracted...

... Jelly can run after the baby protectors to keep them out of trouble!

(2021 US tour; 2 January 2022.)

Screaming and crying and Bombastrap is just so good and especially with Protector!Bomba as a hc that I tend to always have but even if that isn't subscribed to its hard to deny that she's a protective figure for cats like demeter and jemibub and hhnnnngggghhhhhhh they shoulder their weights TOGETHER and they let their facades down around EACH OTHER and they KNOW the other will have their back in any kind of situation like they could have just had a fight and they still wouldn't even think to doubt the other would back them up and dhsjfbskfjsofjdbfodSGJUSUDUC

I defy anybody to say that Mexico revival Plato is not Macavity's son....

.... or just Macavity in (very poor) disguise.

1: 2013, Gerry Pérez as Plato, with Olivia Bucio as Jellylorum and Marco Salazar as Munkustrap.

2 and 3: 2018: Erny Cruz as Plato, plus Marco Salazar as Munkustrap, Tanya Valenzuela as Bombalurina, and Sonia Monroy as Etcetera.

All these headcanons about who is Macavity's children and no one ever makes the case for Plato/Admetus even though they should
