Tumblebrutus is most memberable because of the flips and somersaults
he executes throughout the show. He's one of Mistoffelees'
best friends it seems, and the performers' dancing abilities are nearly
matched. Tumblebrutus is a young tom who likes to jump around a bit it
seems, showing off to the bigger toms like Rum
Tum Tugger, Munkustrap, and Alonzo. In the
Broadway production, he's the one who dances with Victoria
in The Jellicle Ball's "mating dance". Some fans can see him
paired with the young queens, Victoria and Jemima,
the females he seems to hang around a lot during the show. In the London
show, Tumblebrutus is actually Bill Bailey. In the video, the Tumblebrutus
seen is wearing a Bill Bailey costume. It is in Broadway that he goes
by the name Tumblebrutus, and not Bill Bailey.
