jacey | Movies 2020/02: Cats (Reply)

I don't know why so many people took against this so thoroughly. It's pretty much what I expected from the trailer. The music is well done and the dancing is superb. As for the story, well, there really isn't much of one. Just like the stage show it's a loose excuse to sling together some song and dance numbers based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's aettings of poems from T.S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

Francesca Hayward, a Principal Ballerina at The Royal Ballet, is the lead female dancer, but the whole company is excellent. I particularly liked Robbie Fairchild's Munkustrap. Special mention for Judi Dench who steals every scene she's in as Old Deuteronomy, and Jennider Hudson as Grizabella.

The costuming is clever, and the only slightly weird thing was that the setting seemed disproportionatrely large (or the cats seemed disproportionately small).
