Plato (Gerry Pérez) and Electra (Carla Remes), Mexico 2013! Besties - definitely platonic here.

Mexico revival Electra is such a wonderful character because they're canonically queer, either in their gender or sexuality or both. They dance the 'boy' dances in the Jellicle ball, they move with the boys more often than with the girls when the blocking is split by gender lines, and join the Bustopher Jones 'boys club' line-up. Plus they're part of the Raffish Crew - including swooning over Griddlebone just like the boys!

Plus their costume looks like this - which just goes really hard either with the 'electrifying' or with 'frost patterns' - and I think that's beautiful.

Mexico Electra is valid as hell.

Plato having to be all the male kittens at once in 'Song of the Jellicles' because Pouncival and Tumble are both off. Fortunately this swing (Adam Margilewski) knows all those tracks...

And hey, Alonzo gets to finish his line for once without being interrupted by a baby!

Tumblebrutus and Electra come onstage for Act II and immediately get into a cuddle-fight - much to Plato’s distress. He is an earnest young protector and can’t let anything happen to them!

(Meanwhile, Skimbleshanks is just out of shot, looking sternly around to make sure everything’s safe and not giving the wrestling kittens a second glance.)

Nils Haberstroh as Tumblebrutus and (probably) Jo Lucy Rackham as Electra; Plato may be Adam Margilewski or Ross McDermott. German tent tour, Mannheim 2011.
