everybody! I have a very important announcement!
You know how 2021 US tour Skimbledots (Chris Salvaggio and Michelle Carter) refer to each other as 'work wife/husband'?
Well, guess who else does.
Kelly Donah and Max Craven! (Over domestic shopping lists, no less.)
US tour Mungoteazer confirmed!
Also, incidentally, it's not just US tour Skimbledots: there's a pattern throughout the whole of the Broadway revival and subsequent tour(s) of the 'canon couples' referring to each other this way. Skimbledots is the big one for husband/wifing each other, and Demestrap does it a bit too—I particularly remember Dan Hoy (2019 Munk) saying that for each of his Demeters. Platoria is another major canon couple, though since it's more of a budding romance they don't tend to use marriage words so much.
With that background, 'work husband' implies that Mungoteazer has a similar canonical status as Demestrap and (particularly) Skimbledots: they are an established couple within the timeline of the show, and the actors probably get that as a direction when creating their characters.
And just for fun: Aaron Albano (swing then Skimbleshanks on Broadway) listed three tracks as his 'couple tracks' with fellow swing Francesca Granell: Mungoteazer, Skimbledots, and Pouncilectra.
