Favourite dance moves from some members of the 2025 Australia tour cast. Leigh Archer (Jennyanydots), Lucy Maunder (Jelllylorum), Des Flanagan (Tugger), Gabriyel Thomas (Grizabella), and Jarrod Draper (Munkustrap).
I'm not sure what dance move Des is talking about (Gumbie tap maybe?), but here's the one Jarrod refers to, when he's dancing next to Cassandra (though the Cassandra here isn't his bestie Chaska but cover Thalia Smith).
Very nice munkuwiggle. 😌
Video posted 25/11/25, when they were just moving into their Melbourne theatre, but filmed in Perth (source). Gif from my footage of 15 Jan 2026.
Munkustrap and Cassandra showing off their moves. 😌
Incidentally, Jarrod Draper (Munk) listed the sideways shimmy in that second gif as his favourite dance move in the show - because he gets to dance beside his best friend Chaska as Cassandra! Here, however, Cassandra is covered by Thalia Smith.

what sounds do munku and rumple make when they're having sex?
Together or separately? Because that makes a difference...!
Well, not so much with Teazer. Whoever she's with, she's much the same: noisy, giggly, talks a lot during (though not as much as Jerrie). Not dirty talk in any conventional sense, mostly just babbling. And also sometimes completely irrelevant thoughts or conversations, which some partners might find exasperating (or endearing).
Munk differs a lot according to who he's with, because the dynamics are so different and he adapts himself to the needs of that particular cat (or cats—Jellicles do polyamory, of course).
With Jerrie and Teazer, though they aren't children (obviously, if we're talking about sex), they still feel like cats he's responsible for and has to care for (and manage!). So there'd be a mix of tenderness and bossyness, a 'let me take charge of this / take care of you' attitude: soft growls and pantings and a lot of purring and praise. He'd put himself in charge of finding her limits and minding them for her.
Similarly with the other young cats—though some, like Pounce, I can see getting off more on being dominated or the size difference, so that would probably drag out a deeper register in Munk's voice, more rumbles from the chest and low groans and heavy possessing breathing close against the skin. Endearments too: baby boy, kitten, sweetheart, my boy, and so on.
With cats like Bomba or Cassandra (or, to a certain extent, Alonzo) he trusts them more to set their own limits and to look after themselves and him, so he relaxes a bit more. He's still not particularly loud but the sounds he makes are higher up in his chest and throat and mouth, pleased hums and chuckles and soft long moans.
Demeter would be similar but I think he'd be more tender and gentle with her. As for Mistoffelees, depending on which version of him you've got in your head, the dynamic could be just about any of the above!
With Tugger it's either a growly half-serious struggle for dominance, or something relaxed and playful, with laughter and eye-rolls and huffs of exasperation and fondness, and snatches of converstaion because Tugger is a talker, easing gradually into deep satisfied groans toward the end (and grumbles if Tugger's being particularly obnoxious or teasing).
And then with Skimbleshanks (and sometimes Bomba) you'd get the rare version of Munk who knows how to sub... and that's another set of noises entirely. 👀
