CATS: ULTIMATE EDITION [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1998
• Genre: Music, Musical
• Plot: Andrew Lloyd Weber's CATS is the longest running musical in Broadway history. In 1997, it was decided the time had come to transfer the musical to film and the original British cast was reassembled. The orchestra was increased in size and the dialog and music were re-recorded for what would be the ultimate home edition of the Broadway musical.; ; That version has now arrived on a 2-Disc DVD set from Universal Studios and it looks truly amazing. Loosely based on T.S. Eliot's book Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, it combines many of the short stories around the framework of a group of cats that live and play together. The different characters come and go to the different musical styles that weave in and out of the musical. Having said that, there's not much left to the plot of the story and that's fine, because the music is what really matters.
