... There's one strange thing my brain does - it's very bad at facial recognition, so please forgive it - which is that whenever I see a photo / brief moment of footage of Roberto's Munkustrap, my first instinct is to identify it as Jack Rebaldi's. It corrects itself less than second later, and I'm still trying to work out what it is, because they aren't acutally that alike. Generation of Munkustrap makeup/wig, to a certain extent, though Jack's is quite distinctive... possibly also something about visual quality of film as it ages, or lighting for the shots? I don't know! As soon as I actually focus on the facial features I know who it is, but stilll... first instinct is always off.
No, that's Cindy Belliot, who opened this revival tour as Sillabub (Jemima). Veerle was a swing but later took over Sillabub from Cindy when the tour got extended but Cindy left early to do Bubbling Brown Sugar.
There's a fair amount of footage out there from this tour with Veerle covering Electra too, if you're looking for her! But Cindy is also a gorgeous Jemima.

0:27 yep, that's definitely _not_ Veerle (even though she was in this production)
