Etcetera

Etcetera is the hyperactive kitten. For the most part, Victoria, Jemima and Electra are all pretty dignified...but this crazy bundle of energy has no inhibitions! She is absolutely crazy for the Rum Tum Tugger and may be the Pouncival equivalent in imitating Bombalurina...(? Not sure about that...) Anyway...she may be Victoria's or Electra's sister, and she may be Jellylorum's daughter.
Like Pouncival, most people find Etcetera cute, and I find her kind of annoying, but that's just me...she's absolutely energetic and crazy and probably a lot of fun to play.

Useful Facts About the Role:

Etcetera does little singing, but a lot of squealing, and is in all the big dance numbers.

Electra

Well...there isn't really much to say about Electra. She's probably Etcetera's or Jemima's sister, I don't know...she's a very quiet, background kitten, especially in comparison with her hyperactive friend. Like all the kittens, she is a Rum Tum Tugger fan, but less crazy over him. She seems to have a good relationship with Munkustrap. He may be her father, or just a friend.

Useful Facts About the Role

Electra is mainly an ensemble dance role.

Pouncival

Pouncival, also known as Carbucketty, is a playful tom kitten. He admires the Rum Tum Tugger very much and tries to be like him. He seems to find Bombalurina very attractive...he repeatedly comes on to her during the Jellicle Ball and the Rum Tum Tugger's song. Most people find this cute, I find it kind of weird...while the Rum Tum Tugger is seducing the kittens Bombalurina is sort of standing there suffering, and Pouncival thrusts his butt in her face like "Hey, don't waste your time with him, I'm here" and Bombalurina pushes him away "get away from me".

Pouncival's best friend is Tumblebrutus. He is also friends with Plato...in the movie they kind of have this "bro" thing going where they parallel the female kittens' Rum Tum Tugger fan club, but they want to be him instead of to be his mate.

Pouncival is one of the kittens who is not initially prejudiced against Grizabella, but is eventually turned against her. In the background at the beginning of "Grizabella, the Glamour Cat" you can see Plato and Tumblebrutus pushing him. I guess he first bullies Grizabella on a dare or something, but after a while he really gets into it and is the principal cause of her misery, which I find hard to forgive.

Useful Facts About the Role

Pouncival does no solo singing...on the other hand he does a lot of dancing and acrobatic tricks. If you don't like the serious performing as much as playing around, this might be a good role for you.
