Out of all the munkustrap's. Michael is the best version of him. His voice and personality really suited the character perfectly ..The make up was amazing as well

Emma Garcia a lot of broadway and circus performers have to do their own make up for this very reason actually. It makes the the character feel more personal to the performer

Munkustrap is by far the best character in Cats. and Gruber's voice is perfect for it! I've always loved the part where he sings about "The jellicle choice", as in the end of this video. Too bad my favourite part begins just after that part :) "for waiting up there is the Heaviside layer full of wonders..."

I saw him in CATS on Broadway as a little girl (11), Jacob Brent was also in the cast...I was OBSESSED with Michael Gruber...and Jacob Brent, but mostly Michael, having watched the VHS 5x a day, every day. Munkustrap was always my favorite. When I walked into the theatre and saw his name, I started to cry. My parents got us (my 3 siblings, my parents and myself) great seats- second row center orchestra on the aisle. Towards the end, probably Mr. Mistoffelees, he came into the audience and went right up to me. I held on to him so tightly, to the point where he had to say "sweetheart, I have to go finish the show". Afterwards, at the stage door, I was so excited to meet him, I cried my little heart out and hugged him, while he signed other people's playbills on top of my head. Later, I would meet him again after Swing! on Broadway AND after a performance of White Christmas on tour in Boston. He is the NICEST man.

he is an amazing munkustrap, in fact i dont think they could ever replace any one the video cast, ya know, like i can never see any one else as these characters, and the way he put the makeup on so confidently, ha i could never do that, one thing i will say, he should keep his hair longer. BEST MUNKUS EVER!!! (oh p.s. does he have twitter?? i'm not sure if he does but if he does then can you send me a link, i would really like to follow him) xx

Michael Gruber's omnibus artistry is so consummate, it overwhelms -- whether talking, moving, singing, dancing, and now drawing on his own cat face ... distnctively precise, exact, clear, cool, deft, sure, commanding, with-it (even OMNISCIENT) -- the cat we trust, the Pillar of the Cat Community ! A joy forever.
