From 31 July 1986 newspaper article: Saturday night's performance (26 July 1986) was the last for some of the cast. From this week, the line-up includes six new names - Michael Grummet as Munkustrap, Christopher Hall as Mistoffelees, Renee Isaacs as Victoria, Lorry Dercole as Tumblebrutus and Sean Hingston as Rumpus Cat.

From a 17 January 1987 newspaper review: Of the original principals, only John Wood as Old Deuteronomy and Grant Smith as Bustopher Jones and Gus the Theatre Cat remain, both still giving notable performances. Kerry Woods has taken over as Grizabella the Glamour Cat, and provides a well sung performance without quite the touch of underlying pathos that Debbie Byrne was able to impart. Peter Lowrey is now a vigorous Rum Tum Tugger although missing a little of the dynamism that Jeff Phillips was originally able to bring to the role. It is doubtful if any other performer in Australia could equal the athleticism of the first Mr Mistoffelees, David Atkins, but Christopher Hull gives a fine and nimble performance in this role. The new Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie, Laura Hamilton and Hilton Jones, are excellent.
