One thing I love about this musical is that they don't need to "stretch-the-truth" to make it awesome. What I mean is, the cats still act a lot like cats. Tugger is one of the most bad-ass cats here, but if you listen to the song he lists things all cats could do; and many owners can attest that cats are picky in this way.
4 majorly cute and hot at the same time parts to this musical that are my favorites, this one, the magical Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, and Grizabella's memory.
It's always been my understanding that Tugger looks a lot like Macavity, and that's why Demeter hates him. Another popular theory is simply that she hates his vain, self-important personality and just wants nothing to do with him for that reason.
My school theatre did a production of this. The two best acts were Rum Tum Tugger and Grizzabella. I happen to know the guy who played Rum Tum Tugger. Told him he was amazing. Now I just gotta find the girl who played Grizzabella and tell her that I'm jealous.... That girl's voice is to die for.
kinda wierd lol and my teacher paused it and these was her words "Ok so nobody be inmature because the rum tum tugger is a little like Micheal Jackson.Micheal Jackson might of even got his moves from him.Yesterday i had to turn it off because A day first block were laughing" lol
Lads night out, had a few to drink. For some reason picking men we would 'theoretically' turn gay for. Wasn't surprised when i didn't have to explain who the Tugger was.
this here is my childhood summed up in a broadway <3 i think i replayed the vhs soo many times it barely works anymore, thank goodness forthe invention of dvd's lol
Misto seems to be the only younger tom who does want to act like Tugger. Cute! lol Btw I LOVE Tugger's face when Misto pops up beside him and calls him boring xD
My favorite part is at :56 when Tugger points at Jemima and the face she makes, and also Misto's expression after he sings "The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible boy"
It's funny, because I went to see this show live when there was a performance of it in my town, and during the musical interlude of this song, he actually jumped off the stage and started dancing with one of the women in the front row!
@Bunnieboo41 Not a day goes by, when I don't wonder the same thing. xD I've had the silliest crush on this character ever since I was five and got CATS on VHS.
@Bunnieboo41 Nowhere XD If I remember correctly he did win Inside Soap Awards' Sexiest Man award in 2009....at least according to Wikipedia. Just because he's gay doesn't mean he isn't freakin' hot!!! Which....he very much is.....yummmmm ;)
All of these females like rtt except demeter,the older females, and the older males. But the rest of the them love him including cassandra and bombalurina
