BREAKDOWN
On just one special night of the year, all Jellicle cats meet at the Jellicle Ball where Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, makes the Jellicle choice and announces which of them will go up to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
MUNKUSTRAP (Male)
The son of Old Deuteronomy, who takes the lead in his absence. Sings 'Old Deuteronomy' and 'The Pekes and the Pollicles'. For this role we require an excellent baritone singer with a commanding presence. Very good movement skills required. Playing age 25 - 35?Ideally over 6' tall.
RUM TUM TUGGER (Male)
A charismatic and anarchic character. He is notoriously hard to please and sets himself apart from others by trying to be different. He always does the opposite of what is expected of him. Rum Tum Tugger is deviously self-centered and relishes in being so. MUST have strong dance. Funk and street styles a plus. Playing age 18 - 35
MR MISTOFFELEES (Male)?
Mr Mistoffelees is the magician - impish, with an expansive personality. Must be a phenomenal and exciting principal dancer with outstanding classical technique as well as contemporary and hip hop familiarity. Gymnastic skills and tricks a plus. Good high baritone vocals. Playing age 20 – 32. Ideally under 5' 8
