If Tugger makes his fanclub happy, the feeling is definitely mutual. He's just so delighted to be here at the ball with these guys!

Des Flanagan as Tugger, Edward Smith as Admetus, Savannah Lind as Rumpelteazer, Claudia Hastings as Victoria, Ella Fitzpatrick as Jemima, and Charlie Follows as Bill Bailey. Australia tour, 28 December 2025 (my footage).

I know Platoria is considered basically canon in the Broadway revival but have you considered: Victoria has two hands? and they're currently being held by two cute young guys??

and they can all stan Tugger together. 😌

(Skimble, however, doesn't understand their love. Skimble thinks when it's time for Serious Jellicle Ball business, Victoria has to choose the Serious Boi. 😔 why must she choose, skimble, she's so happy here!)

Marisa Gorst in her Victoria debut, Samuel Buchanan as Plato, Brendan Moran as Tumblebrutus, and Hank Santos as Tugger. US tour 6, October 2022.

Plato’s Pickup Lines (6/?): Bill Bailey

.... or Tumblebrutus, according to Nick.

In which Nicholas Li continues to have more luck using pick-up lines on fellow Aussies than any other members of his cast.

Matthew Levick as Bill Bailey; Vienna revival, 25 May 2022.

More pick-up lines under the tag!

(Also, Alonzo is right there. Can't make out whether it's Riccardo or George from this angle but either way, Nick is making us wait as regards hitting on either of his two main partners in chaos. Or maybe just avoiding them altogether for fear they'll upstage him...!)

Please look at these doofus boys getting ready for their Big Tough Dance. And especially look at Tumble, under Plato's excited encouragement. He's gonna be BIG and TOUGH with the BIG BOYS!

Plato said 'hey you should join us!' Tumble went stomping over to Tugger with his BIG BOY STOMPY FEET to check if it was okay with him demand admission to the Big Boys Club get a fist bump! yay! Then he turned back to Plato to say OMG EXCITED WIGGLE! Then proceeded to prove how big and mature he is with some MUSCLE POSES which Plato was definitely not giggling at.

And Plato's hand staying on Tumblebrutus' shoulder until they hear their cue! He feels your excitement, smol friend! (and might be encouraging you to keep it in check just a tiny bit.)

Oasis cast 11, 23 October 2021. Joshua Donald as Tumblebrutus, Nick Woodford as Tugger, and Ryan Lay as Plato.

Admetus has no time for Bill Bailey, or for Rumpelteazer, or to play with Gus' cloak like Alonzo. He, like Carbuckety behind him, is practising for his modelling career. Then they will retire together to admire each other's technique.

Aaron Lynch as Admetus, Kade Hughes as Bill Bailey, Dominique Hamilton as Rumpelteazer, Jal Joshua as Carbuckety, Karlis Zaid as Gus, and Fletcher Dobinson as Alonzo; 2020 Asia tour, 25 April 2021.
