Rum Tum Tugger

Bio: Here he is, ladies.  The Kitty Casanova-The Rum Tum Tugger.  He's the curious beast we all know and love.  Probably one of the most iconic characters from the production; I have been told he was supposed to be a fusion of Elvis Presley and Mick Jagger...in cat form.  He's always hogging the spotlight, whether he intends to or not.  He loves to party and do whatever he wants.  In a way, he's a rebel against society.  He dares to be different.  He flirts with practically every queen in the production, though he does seem to have a particular soft spot for Bombalurina.  He also has a serious side, and he will show it more often than you'd think (which is probably never if you don't know him very well).  Watch out for those heart-melting pelvic thrusts!

My Theory: Tugger is the younger brother of Munkustrap and son of Old Deuteronomy.  He eventually mates with Bombalurina.  Eventually.
