Jellylorum is often played as a sort of Aunt for the tribe. She helps Munkustrap protecting the kittens and cares that they don't touch Grizabella when she comes.
She introduces Gus, the theater cat, to us. She is fond of him and conforts him when he sadly evoques the time he was a young cat-actor.
Jellylorum is more or less old according to the different productions. In some productions, she seems to be a rather old queen (eg : London), in others she looks much younger and seems to be just a little bit older than Bombalurina or Demeter (eg : Japan or USA).
The performer portraying Jellylorum is also playing Griddlebone, adding the Griddlebone costume above her own.
Jellylorum's costume is usually white or light brown with like brown, yellow, grey and sometimes orange stripes. Her make-up is white around her mouth and eyes and the rest is mostly yellow or light brown. Her wig is of the same colours that her costume, with also some black.
