Very disappointing...
best movie i've ever seen.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
I just discovered this video and I'm totally addicted. Some people complain on the lack of plot... well, what could they expect seeing it is based on a book of poems, and written for a child at that.Cats is utterly enjoyable for the beauty of the songs and choreography, for the costumes and colours, for its energy, fun and gaiety. But if you're seeking intellectual stimulation, this is obviously not the show to watch, which is just fine as it is nice to watch undemanding shows like this from time to time.The funny songs, Skimbleshanks, Mungojerry and Rumpleteazer are really great fun to watch and contrast with the sad nostalgic songs. John Mill's performance is very moving and as for Elaine Paige, she is just unforgettable. The DVD is worth buying if only to just watch and re watch her singing Memory. The only performance that did not enthuse me was that of Rum Tum Tugger and his slithering hip moves.All in all, a great show I'd have loved to have seen on stage! This is great family entertainment.
I know that most others will strongly disagree with my comments, and I have waited quite some time to to express them.Very poor camera work. (Always a problem with musicals on film.) I expected far more from this cast. Despite the most welcome presence of Elaine Paige and John Mills, there are some truly disappointing performances.The intentional omission of some pieces was a deplorable decision. (As was re-working the score.)Having seen other staging and casts I am shocked at this presentation by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
This is the most wonderful Movie & Play that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Since then I have purchased the CD so I will always have it on hand when I need to see it again (and that is very Often) I wish there were more of these themes for us to see. The music is special and the dancing is spectacular. Grizabella the Glamour Cat, was outstanding and her voice so expressive that I cried.I hope that Mr Webber comes up with more of this quality of Musicals for the public, This should inspire all, that enjoy this quality of work, to seek out the best in entertainment. We all need quality and enjoyment in our live and this is without the doubt the best ever. Thank you Mr. Webber and the cast of "Cats" you were Great!!!!!
This is the most magical wonderful musical i've ever seen. I'd give it 10/10 definitely. Andrew Lloyd Webber {did the musical} is a really talented bloke making these wonderful poems to music! The songs are memorable and great. My favourite cast are the video cast specially ,Michael Gruber and John Partridge. As for the show itself i've seen it 3 times and its the best performance i've ever known. I know i keep saying it but this show is surely a piece of west end history! Well done to all whose been in it and as for Andrew good on him!! Please keep loving it cats fans. Who is your favourite cast and actors in cats please reply and let me know. I'm always interested.
