... or he used to. Oops.

Mistoffelees and Skimbleshanks???

[junkyard-gifs]

Mistoffelees is swanning across the stage, elegant and the centre of attention—

—until he's rudely interrupted. Well, only one thing to do: recruit Skimble's help and steal that attention right back.

... well, it definitely worked on Alonzo. 😳

Riccardo Sinisi as Mistoffelees, George Maniadis as Alonzo, Tommie Luyben as Skimbleshanks, and Alexander Auler as Munkustrap. Vienna revival, March 2022.

Or maybe he and Misto should join in.

Guess who got to do the Misto thing again?

Kieran Macdonald!

Backstage banter with the boys! All three are swings: Riccardo Sinisi covering Mistoffelees, Florian Fetterle covering Munkustrap, and Tommie Luyben covering Skimbleshanks.

RS (preening his wig): Look at this, I look like an Asian Geisha. FF (sarcastically): Sure.

RS (laughing): Florian's complaining about his costume. FF: Nooooo! RS: Look at you, pretty boy. Here's also another pretty boy. Oh my god, is this a cat or Shirley Temple?

Vienna revival, 15/01/22; from Riccardo's insta stories.
