Jacob Brent's soft "presto!" in Cats 1998, reblog if you agree

I love this stupid little musical 🙂‍↕️ (from the Cats (1998) Musical btw)

My fav cat is Rum Tum Tugger :D

Rum tum tugger is a curious cat

If you offer him a girl he would prefer the young magical cat who called him a terrible bore

at the jellicle ball. straight up rum tum tugging it. and by “it”… haha. well. lets justr say. mister mistoffelees.

Some jellicles I drew at work do u like them

Misto's expression when the baby tomcats roll in during Bustopher Jones is everything.

I am also loving Asparagus'(?) smile here, he looks ready to cause a little mischief too.

That’s it. That’s their entire ship dynamic.

this shot from cats 98 always sends me bc you have two(2) female characters in frame whose Whole Thing is to be s‌exy and then you have misto there effortlessly out-thotting them both. equality.

khajiit au the third... mistoffelees! the caravan's most expensively dressed member first and highly treasured necromancer second. here's some simple roadside wisdom: it's best to stay on good terms with the guy who's more likely than not pledged his soul to the daedra.

couldn't decide on the color scheme so purple version's under the cut!

cats ... but they're gay and in love

Some Little Moments from Zurich Misto's Big Number

Early in his number, in his exuberance, he gets a little too close for comfort for one of the older cats (I think they look like one of the older cats anyway).

More under the "Keep Reading" thing because there's a lot of gifs here.

Yes, ya gotta gif the classic Misto and Tugger dance duet, because it's so fun! Though, is it just me or does Tugger look like he's leaning down to look at...something? The first few times I watched this, I thought he was checking out Misto's butt, though it is just as possible he's looking at Victoria, who is right there and goes up to him.

Wriggly pew pew fingers! I can imagine him doing this with a cheeky grin (think like some of the expressions Jacob Brent's Misto gets in the '98 stage film.) I *think* it might be Alonzo there? (Feel free to correct me on the cats by the way, because it's hard to tell in this 3-pixel bootleg!)

Immediately before he turns to pose to the audience, Misto first points at Tugger to acknowledge his part in this, and I think it's such a cute and sweet little moment.

Spinnies with the cloth! I LOVE this, but also check how quickly he stops doing it and snaps out of it, quickly looking around as if to check anyone saw. Misto you're fine, you're allowed to spin with capes. If you have a cape or a swirling blanket, you must do spinnies.

Plato(?) making that HUGE LEAP off the set gets me every time, lol--his flailing arms, the way he jumps so high and then makes a loud THUD on the ground when he lands.

His little stim with the blanket after revealing Old Deut is also a little moment I love as well--it's like he's still a little unsure/anxious (this is during Tugger's slow, gentle part of "Oh well I never..."

Near the very end, when everyone else is welcoming Old D back, Misto runs back to where Tugger is to do some more dancing and spinnies. But watch Tugger: his little head tilt he does at Misto like "you got this! Go for it!"

Oh damn, there are CATS PEOPLE on tumblr! I should have known. Have a redraw of this ancient piece from like 1999!

If the Queen's Thief and Lord of the Rings were where I fledged my artistic wings, Cats was where I first hatched. After the 1998 film came out on VHS, my parents never knew peace again. Pages and pages of art. Fan fiction. Face paint. I was Jemima for like four Halloweens straight. I could dance the entire choreography of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. My bff and I had headcanons and ships before we knew what those things were. The Internet was only just beginning in those days, and when I found an Angelfire page dedicated to Jacob Brent... people, let me tell you, I didn't sleep for weeks. Now he's on Instagram! I just looked him up! He's living his best life and I'm so glad!

In seventh grade, when my bff and I learned Cats was going off Broadway and we'd never get to see it, our moms told us that if we earned the money ourselves, they'd take us to see it. And we did! I saw the final Broadway cast at the Winter Garden Theater! We crashed the stage door and freaked out over Julius Sermonia (Misto) and Stephen Bienskie (Tugger)!

Anyway, rifling through old art to find this marker-and-printer-paper piece sure was a trip. Do you want more cringey redraws? Because do I have some material.

Do you think Tugger changed/ added a new verse to Mistoffelees' song after his debut at the Jellical ball? I can see him adding a new verse like this:

"And one year ago, with his SENSATIONAL paws

He snatched Old Deuteronomy back, from Macavity's claws!

When we all sang-"

So Fergus Logan's "Terrible Bore" Line is chef's kiss, but wait, there's more!

We all love Fergus Logan's delivery of the "terrible bore" line from the 1995 live recording of Rum Tum Tugger as part of the UK tour.

Naturally I had to see if he did anything else in the back, and check what he does right after the terrible bore line (apologies for the awful quality - did it with the snip tool, so it's basically a pixel that's vaguely Fergustoffelees shaped:

And then there's a little hand claw that's already pretty fantastic on its own:

But wait, there's more - put it into its context during it (right before Bomba's line, when Tugger does that Leg Shake Thing) and it's even better:

👀👀

Jacob Brent's Mistoffelees appreciation weekend

Because it's my blog and I can ;) (Also, his is probably my favourite Misto!) So enjoy a bunch of gifs of him being adorable as Misto.

First, the classic, and adorably soft "Presto!"

His jump of excitement during the Jellicle Ball dance at seeing his friends is super cute 11/10. He is seratonin personified! Feeling sad? Just look at this gif for a few seconds. See! You're smiling now! :D

The adorable smile he shares with Victoria is absolutely one of my fave little moments! Both their smiles are SO pretty and my bisexual heart is full at the adorableness and the pretty in one gif:

I still dream of one day seeing a special edition of the 1998 Cats film come out because his conjuring turns deserve to be SEEN (as do the whole of the Teazer and Jerrie song!)

That proud look while wiggling his fingers like that after bringing back Old Duet is SUCH a Misto moment:

As if he isn't already a super sparkly little cat, he has to go and pull a ribbon caked in glitter out of a bucket and I'm HERE for it:

Then there's this little hand wind thing he does and he's SO HAPPY:

There's something about the way he kitten crawls to the front of the stage that I love - it's so cat like and the little slide at the end is super cute:

Look, Misto just SUPER LOVES Bustopher Jones, okay?

"Tugger, I got this. Watch me."

"please!!!!! listen to me............and don't scoff!!!!!!!!!!! this guys cool as fuck and he will save grandpa!!!!!!!!" - rum tum tugger
