Sillabub, portrayed in London as Jemima, is considered to be the youngest kitten. Like the other kittens, such as Victoria and Etcetera, she is mostly seen kneeling or crawling around the stage and other cats. Sillabub sings parts in Memory, and the actress who plays her usually has a beautiful, high voice. Along with Victoria, Sillabub helps to welcome Grizabella back into the tribe when the others won't accept her. Her name is a mixture of "silly" and "Beezlebub" which means "the devil". So, naturally, Jemima (which means "little dove") in the London cast is usually more innocent and gentle than Sillabub in the Broadway cast, who is more mischievous and troublesome. Like most of the queens and female kittens, Sillabub hangs all over Rum Tum Tugger whenever he appears. In some casts, you can see her off to the side with Alonzo whenever Cassandra isn't around. In other casts she's seen with Tumblebrutus or Pouncival. Some think she would be a perfectly cute with Mistoffelees. It all depends on the cast you see and what you interpret. |
