From Cats (1998): Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS, the most famous musical of all time, first exploded onto the West End stage in 1981. 'Memory', one of its many classic songs, became an instant worldwide hit. Since then CATS has smashed records and conquered the world. Using the latest technology, all the excitement, thrill, romance and intimacy of this theatrical legend has been captured on screen. Breathtaking visuals and full digital sound (that has been completely re-recorded with a seventy piece orchestra) will leave you deep into the mysterious world of CATS as you've never seen it before -- more intoxicating and magical than you could possibly imagine. With a star cast including Elaine Paige and Sir John Mills.

I have seen CATS live nine times... and they have *never* failed to cast at least one coloratura 'kicker' soprano who could hold that last high note.

And she's in the opening number too. Anyone know who the high first was in this cast?

Hello long time fans, I'm a more new fan like literally watched, like idk why but cats was something that I never heard of and when the gross movie came out I was like "oh God, they must of really destroyed the musical, bet the live is better " but still I never got to watching it until after school this year and didn't know it was turning 40 this year, So it was in a way very lucky for me cause I saw the channels broken up Playlist of the musical but I'm so EXCITED for the Friday's showing! I hope you allll accept me and a new fan of the is beautiful Broadway musical :3

What's the source of these interview clips?

@EntrancedG 3 жыл бұрын

They were made during the filming of the 1998 home movie version. When I was a kid I had a two-disc DVD featuring the musical on one disc and these interviews on another. Besides this interview with ALW, there is an entire 30-minute behind-the-scenes feature and additional interviews with Gillain, Trevor, Cameron, and another older gentleman whose name I am forgetting.

@@EntrancedG so they were shot for the DVD, rather than being lifted onto the DVD from a TV show as they originally appeared to me. Got it, thanks.

So this makes three musicals where he was inspired by books (not counting the Biblical ones like Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). The other two being Phantom of the Opera and Starlight Express (which was inspired by his love of The Railway Series)

Did you know that originally, Andrew Lloyd Webber wanted an actress who's both as classical a prima ballerina as Victoria and as lyrical a prima donna as Jemima, aka Syllabub? Well Francisca Hayward as Victoria is not only both, but has a similar backstory to Grizabella, many thanks to the 2019 musical film. This doesn't mean, however, that I don't still like both Victoria and Jemima, aka Syllabub the best.
