Ideal Cast

[Pouncival]

Because I can. And ABT agreed it would be fun.

I'm including named swings, and deciding some of who covers who. I am ignoring time periods. I want the best, even if they are too old, or in one sad case, dead.

[Tumblebrutus]

I wish I could do this but I don't know enough actors...

Gino Emnes as Tugger is pretty near top of my list.
Jason Wise is the only Tumblebrutus. Okay, okay, so Andrew Walters was great too.
Chaz Wolcott as Mistoffelees without question. Also did like Adrian Ricks.
Joseph London as Old D.
Nathan Morgan as Growltiger-- I don't think anyone could top his buttcrack scratching.

Damn. Just realised I liked to the wrong thing for Cindy Belliot. This is her. THe other one was the original cast.

[Tumblebrutus]

And apparently, I wrote Nathan Lane... not Nathan Morgan.

[kamaria]

I wish I knew more about different productions and cast! Alas, all I have to go by is the DVD, and also I saw the Copenhagen production in 2002, but don't really remember anything from it, except that the costumes are one of my all-time favourites!

[Quaxo]

I really like the Alonzo make-up in the Copenhagen show! It's super awesome!

[Mungojerrie]

Its a toss up between Gino Emnes and John O'Hara for Tugger.
As for Misto, I loooved Chaz in Troika, but I also have a sweetspot for Jacob Brent.
