if a Munkustrap summoned you

to twirl you around then bend you over his knee

would you have it in you to refuse or would you just be utterly hypnotised thoughts??? 😳

This look between Deuteronomy and Munkustrap...

... but then! the prospect of the Heavyside Layer being so overwhelming that Grizabella breaks away from the mystical Deuteronomy, and turns back to Munkustrap for some more grounded warmth and reassurance.

And oh, that bow... all the way to the ground, and the whole tribe bows with him.

(including foreground Carbuckety even though he was already on the floor, because he's being a Good Boy. at the moment.)

Vienna revival, 7 May 2022, filmed by @thunderwhenhepurrs.

Alexander Auler as Munkustrap, Barbara Obermeier covering Grizabella, Lucius Wolter covering Deuteronomy, Johnny Randall as Carbuckety, and Jo Lucy Rackham as Jennyanydots.

Grizabella reappears! Munkustrap and Tugger consult as to what is best to be done...

But while Tugger can vent his feeling with a spiteful hiss, Munkustrap's position is a little more uncertain.

To approach the Deuteronomy, one must get past his guardians two: the Rum Tum Tugger, and the Munkustrap.

One is Resentfully Sarcastic, the other is Earnestly Uncertain.

Carin Filipčić as Grizabella, Alex Snova as Tugger, and Alexander Auler as Munkustrap. Vienna revival, March 2022.
