Jo Gibb Q&A

 

Q: Do you believe Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are brother and sister or mates? This is purely your opinion. It varies from fan to fan. I know some people would like to know what you think.
A: I definitely think they are brother and sister because there is (I am sorry to say) no sexual innuendo between them like there is between Plato and Victoria.

 

Q: Why does Femi Taylor's costume change several times during the show?
A: Femi is a swing. If you look many of the other swings have changed. I really have no idea why though.

 

Q: What was it like working with Andrew Lloyd Webber? Like, what was he like? Was he strict or mean or really nice or what?
A: Andrew is a brilliant person to work with. He is strict because he likes perfection but also he is a great laugh.

Q: What was the overall best part about working with all the other cast members? And who was your favorite person to work with?
A: It was just great all the time they were such a laugh. Drew Varley was the best to work with because we have a social life together.

Q: On "The Pekes and the Pollicles", there are a few points where it looks like Victoria is played by Jo Bingham instead of Phyllida. What's the deal there?
A: She is played by Jo Bingham because we were rushing on that scene and we did it last and we couldn't wait till Victoria got better for the retakes.

 

Q: Who on the cover of the video actually is in the video? They don't look the same.
A: Only one is from the video and that is Jemima (Veerle Casteleyn). It is or was a recent cast picture of the West End.

Q: What was your daily schedule like each day?
A: Get up at 6:00 eat breakfast. Travel to Adelphi Theatre, got there by 7:30. Straight into make-up and costume, that finished about 8:45 then start rehearsals until 6:00.
