olivia the 2016 revival have a lot of interactions between them as well

c’est cool mec I love hate

Julia Bonora ?

I haven't seen anyone point out that he says "I only like what I find for myself" and doesn't pay attention to Bomba when she dance in front of him, but goes actually searching for Misto lmao I love this

YESS

also 0:38 and misto’s bashful little dance at 3:08 then he shows off, almost like he was embarrassed to be flirted with in front of munkustrap lmao

I like how the revival has this dynamic where Misto seems to look up to Tugger, and gives off like this healthy senior-junior relationship which makes Tugger introducing Misto later seem like a "you got this kid" kind of gesture

I have only one thing to say: AAAWWWWWNNNNNT

That’s just so damn cute!!

I missed it, time stamp?

Time?

yes i love this ship too

*SCREECH*

Katydid-99 fused them all together to get the ultimate tugger

Jason had the crap Tugger

Look who i've found in the wild

@@Misto8990 Hello Misto! How are you? :3

@@electrathejelliclekitten8063 pretty good i'm gonna tell yall some new lore just wait a lil🙂

Best name ever gone, because in 2019 and 2020 we can’t have anything remotely sexy or sexualized

I thought the exact same thing. Sam Lips is an AMAZING singer and that makes up for it, but ugghhhhh there is no flavor in this "updated" choreography.

@@itssj974 I was just so happy to see Misto dancing with RTT and being part of his fan group I can forgive the lack of thrusting 🤣 Also he's got a great physique, OMG ❤

@@galacticsnufferpuss6851 Honestly though, you're absolutely right lmaooo

@@ambervictoria11 i honestly get it. the 80s and 90s musicals seemed y’know. they toned it down but it isnt as good.

Tugger: *dancing with Demeter* Mungojerrie: ok this is my chance Tugger: *goes straight to assaulting another cat* Mungojerrie: ok uh... Misto you can have this one

i think its Ricky Ubeda, from what ive looked up Sam Lips was only a cover for Tugger and this was during the time of the revival.

i think that was actually ricky's understudy cus the way ricky did his face makeup was different from the misto in this

Neither Ricky nor his understudy: Ricky had left by this stage. That looks to me like Zachary Downer (catsmusical.fandom.com/wiki/Zachary_Downer ) - and if so, it's the only footage I've seen of him!

“Heterosexual” 😂😂😂😂 best part of the comment

GOD THANK YOU SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT! god when Tyler shooed the queens away I was like "seriously foot stomping and whining what are you four?" It was irritating and I don't want to sound rude because I have no skill in performing whatsoever but like you said I much prefer this more aggressive tugger

I like both tbh

I find Sam’s version to be more aggressive and angry rather than the 1998 version who was more cocky and arrogant, relishing in the love of his fans, and only shutting Etcetera up when she was being too extra. Here he feels like an ass for telling his friends and family to move, cuz throughout the musical you can see how much he cares for them, he respects old Deuteronomy, Mistofolees and Munkustrap,

no, but it’s very popular among the fandom

@@gretchenshopadoodledoo8126 No

Not gonna lie, your description of Tyler's Tugger is exactly the reason why I love his Tugger a lot. I mean no doubt John will forever be _the_ Rum Tum Tugger, but I have seen so many performances after his that were just soo boring and were either having too much diva attitude, are honestly even gayer than Tyler's, lacked any sex appeal and enthusiasm, and/or were Rapper Tugger. Watching Sam and Tyler's performance was honestly a breath of fresh air and I'll explain why. I watched the new choreography with Sam's portrayal first, and honestly he was just an amazing RTT. He just had that vibe about him being a bad boy that was akin to John's. The cool "I don't give a shit" sex appeal that makes it understandable why females would desire him. Not to mention he also had that deeper smooth voice that contrasts a lot of RTTs. But if I had to say a problem I had with his performance, it's actually because of the choreography of the Broadway show just does not match well with the performance he gives. If he had portrayed the Tugger with the original choreo, then Sam would be way higher on my favorite RTT list. But since that not the case, him dancing will sometimes look out of place because it feels like his character would not do that. As for Tyler's, I absolutely love his performance because the choreo he was given completely made sense with the character he portrayed. And the way he did portray it was so exhiliratingly enthusiastic that you just immediately fall in love with his excitement alone for being mischief and a goof. The reason why I love Tyler's RTT is that he just made it his own. He knows he could not be John so he did what he could and just gave a Tugger that has his own identity that still has the basics laid out but just also adds a lot more excitement and childlike sense of fun because RTT is living the best life. And yeah, Tyler is an excellent dancer and that in his performance, he's always moving in dance and has so much swagger that he rarely just walks around unlike a lot of RTTs. He has a different kind of sex appeal because of that and it makes it understandable to me why he is attractive to the female cats. Sam does have that sex appeal that is like John's, but the choreo just did not fit his cool bad boy performance when it's more for active fun Tugger. But either way, he still did amazing and it and brought back a version of RTT that I thought I would never see again, and that's straight (and very slightly gay) sexy Tugger. He's definitely my 3rd favorite performance after John and Tyler.

@@MeepMayCry you do know that John partridge is also gay

@@MeepMayCry definitely agree. I love Tyler’s singing but I really hate his whiny moments, everything else is an A+ in my book. And Sam is great, but I agree the choreo fell flat for me, it didn’t have enough swagger in it that Tyler gave.

4mos late but I am pretty certain that Mistoffelees is Zachary Downer here. Ricky's a bit bouncier with his Misto, but Zachary did a great job stepping into the role after Ricky left too!

i honestly agree though,, the new ones just don't hit the spot like John Partridge does.

i agree, in the 1998 version, she doesn’t really interact with tugger

Jazlyn Hilker yeah, and the original choreographer said the phrase “the man was wonderful when he made love to me but i hated him”

Crazycat ZG3 i’m pretty sure thats in reference to macavity, because that part in during ‘macavity’

Jazlyn Hilker oh

Munkustrap: Am I a joke to you?

Don't you know where to find a bootleg? :( *cries in latinoamerica*

Amber B but there’s so much new tuggoffelees 🥺

Really? I personally loved the new take on such an iconic number!

@@lilyflower50099 i liked the tuggoffelees more as subtle but this is cool too lol but im not a fan of much else and they made him kinda agressive

Or you can tell from the description, which literally says it's the 2017 Broadway Revival.

@@princenaemon i already know about that -3-

Well, consider that the original one you're hearing from a soundtrack that was recorded in a professional recording studio, which used multiple takes and had the luxury of editing to find the best ones. And the actor singing was literally just standing in a booth opposed to trying to dance at the same time.

Wow you think this is bad see the 2019 movie one. That one is worse. At least this one respected the music and kept the momentum going.
