Cats - The Musical (Commemorative Edition)

Summary: Great DVD
Review: I saw part of Cats on TV and rented it shortly after to see it all. The singers all have wonderful voices; Munkustrap is fantastic, Mr. Mistoffeles, Jemima's voice is so lovely, and the dancing is perfect. Victoria's dance is beautiful. The songs are different in the video from the cd, lyrically speaking (in a couple of songs.) I'm excited about this DVD version because of the added bonus material.

Review: CATS is the best musical I have ever seen! The sets, the costumes, the music, and the acting -- all of this works together to make CATS a truly memorable experience on screen. I highly recommend this DVD!!

Summary: Genius
Review: I absolutely love this version of Cats. I think the close-up detail of the camera only adds to the magic of this musical. It allows for real appreciation of the makeup and costumes. Not to mention, every actor gets to truly create his or her character and display it in further detail than is allowed on stage. This version gives such distinction to every part. Also, I've never seen or heard the song about the Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles before and it is absolutely wonderful. Very humorous and catchy. This version of the musical is great!!

Summary: Cats Video
Review: Cats is a fun movie, especially for dancers. It's a great way to get into the world of stage acting. On further reflection, however, I can't say I think much of the songs, with the exception of Macavity, and there doesn't really appear to be a plot!

Summary: severely edited attempt at Cata
Review: This is a severely edited and shortened atempt at presenting "Cats" This attemt to push this great musical on the public fades as only a small screen presentation of a ghosttly show, with star turns for people who do not deserve to be brought to the forground. Sir Andrew please reset this as show seen by the thousands who love this piece.

Summary: The CATS Video
Review: Certainly a must for the fans, this video gives a pretty good image of the show itself. However the many close-ups make the many dancing bits very complicated, notably during Rum Tum Tugger and the Jellicle Ball. The cutting and editing is very miserable, people suddenly disappear and appear in the larger dancing parts. The music is very good, and although some verses have been cut out, the quality of the music is higher than on many official and unofficial recordings. A movie that can be seen many times.

Summary: Outstanding Musical
Review: This wonderful show that was on broadway for 18 years has now come to the T.V. screen, and allowed people to relive the "Memories" of this spectacular show. All of the sets costumes and special efeecs are just like the actual show. If you watch this it will make you feel like you are actually there inside the Theatre. This movie is great for anyone that loves Cats. I highly reccomend this to everyone and anyone out there!!

Summary: The Best Of Andrew Loyd Webber!!
Review: I LOVE the movie AND the play. It is absoulutley Magical. The dancing, the singing, and the acting. I have seen other broudway films and I dont see it very appealing. But CATS, well A.L.W did a fantastic job on this one. It is VERY rare to see a broadway where the actors can act, dance, AND sing all VERY, VERY well. This is a movie for the WHOLE family. See it live too, you will LOVE it. The cast is AWESOME too!! Its just the Best. no doubt! =/\/\= the magical Mistoffelees

Summary: Cats, Cats Wonderful Cats
Review: Cats is a very wonderful show for me. I started to watch it when Isaw it on wedu. I loved it since then and it is the only show I watch in my spare time. One of my favorate Cats is is, well I like all of them. I love Old Dutaronamy beacuse he is the leader of all of the cats. I like Mistfolees beacuse at the end of the show he does that little magical and brings bach Old Dutaronamy plus he is cute. I like Rum Tum Tugger beacuse He is cute, he has all of the right moves to atract girls. Now VICTORIA, man she is so flexable, she can bring foot all the way up to her head. I can just go on for hours But I can't. Just to tell all you people oyt there,if I can do almoast all of the moves, you can to and learn all the words. I recomend this to for any age. No matteR how old you are you will love it.

Summary: Brilliant and Therapeutic
Review: My son and I have watched this video a number of times over the last couple of months. My son is a 9 year old Down's Syndrome boy and I found that the music and dancing in Cats was very calming and therapeutic for him. I enjoyed watching Cats and felt that the music and the words of the songs were beautiful. The effect it had on my son was an added bonus.
