Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who played Munkustrap in the original London production?

Answer: Jeff Shankley

Paul Nicholas was Rum Tum Tugger, Wayne Sleep was Quaxo and Brian Blessed was Old Deutoronomy. Brian Blessed has done several other things like Sir Morris in 'The Big Knights', isn't it cute?

2. Munkustrap takes care of the physical protection of the tribe and is the leader after Old Deutoronomy. Who is after Munkustrap?

Answer: Alonzo

During the Macavity fight when Munkustrap gets hurt Alonzo is taking over. After him comes Mungojerrie, but it seems like he's not really brave enough for getting into a proper fight, or perhaps he doesn't want to because he works for Macavity. Actually, Jellylorum is the last person to hit Macavity before he escapes.

3. Munkustrap has a younger brother. Who is he?

Answer: Rum Tum Tugger

You can never really know about such stuff, but it's for sure that Munkustrap is Rum Tum Tugger's older, more respectable brother. Munkustrap is rumoured to be Old Deutoronomy's son or grandson, which is probably why he has the role as a protector.

4. Of these, who is Munkustrap into the most?

Answer: Victoria

That's a bit of a hard one. I believe he likes Victoria very much without really being in love with him. He likes Jemima too, but not as much I suppose. Actually, he likes everyone in the tribe and has no actual enemies.

5. In the London production and the video, in how many songs does Munkustrap have solos?

Answer: 7

'Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats', 'The Invitation to the Jellicle Ball', 'The Old Gumbie Cat', 'Old Deutoronomy', 'The Awful Battle of The Pekes and The Pollicles', 'Growltiger's Last Stand' and 'The Heaviside Layer' (when Old Deutoronomy is about to announce who's going to the Heaviside Layer).

In 'Growltiger's Last Stand' he appears as Grumbuskin and not himself, but it's always the same person to play these two. He doesn't have a solo in 'The Jellicle Ball' but sings 'Jellicle cats develop slowly' with Admetus and Plato.

6. On May 11 2002, 'Cats' closed down at the New London Theatre after 21 years. Who was the very last person to play Munkustrap?

Answer: Jack Rebaldi

He also did the part in 1998 and some time before.

7. Before the last person to play Munkustrap when the London production closed down, who played Munkustrap?

Answer: David Ashley

I don't really know whether to say he played it, because he was off all the time due to injuries, but officially he did the part and did about 800 marvellous performances.

8. Michael Gruber was Munkustrap in the video. What state does he come from?

Answer: Ohio

Jacob Brent is from North Carolina.

9. Who was Munkustrap in the original Broadway production?

Answer: Harry Groener

Ken Page was Old Deutoronomy here, he also did the part in the video, 16 years later.

10. Who of these has NOT played Munkustrap?

Answer: Drew Varley

Michael Gruber did the part on Broadway and in the video. John Partridge was Munkustrap in Hamburg, and Jason Gardiner has played one million roles in 'Cats' like Alonzo (video and London), Munkustrap (US), Rum Tum Tugger (US) and Victor (London). Drew Varley was Mungojerrie in the video and in London as well.
