Just watched the recent movie version of "Cats". As someone who saw the musical, both as a kid and an adult, I can say that it was actually pretty good... Jennyanydots was funny, Idris Elba was fun to watch, and Grizabella's scenes were very affecting. And I liked the idea of presenting the story from an insider's perspective (Victoria).
Chief downside: while Judi Dench brought much gravitas to the part of Old Deuteronomy, I did miss the epic full-voice power of "The Ad-dressing of Cats" (the version we got sounded more like a lullaby). Also the "Pekes and the Pollicles" was cut. But by and large, a good show, better than its reputation suggested.
