10 Facts About “Cats” the Musical to Get You Ready for the Movie Adaptation

 

If you’re of a certain age, then Cats was probably part of your life (and possibly your identity) growing up. It was huge! You might not even have realized how inherently strange it is because it’s just always been a thing.

If you’re not a Broadway fan (or you’re a new or younger fan) then you, like the rest of the non-theatre world, may have been introduced to Cats when the trailer for the film adaptation recently released.

Honestly, no matter where you fall on this scale of Cats awareness, that trailer probably scarred you for life. I know it did me.

If you’re now curious about this whole singing, dancing cat-people thing, here are 10 facts for you:

10. One audience member sued the production for $6 million.

Live performances of Cats involves audience interaction, a treat that one fan definitely didn’t welcome back in 1996.

Tugger, played by David Hibbard, allegedly “gyrated his pelvis” in audience member Evelyn Amato’s face, an act that led her to sue the production and its creative team for $6 million.

9. It’s based on a collection of T.S. Eliot poems that originally was supposed to include dogs, too.

Eliot published Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats in 1939, and the lighthearted offering has been delighting cat-lovers for generations.

At first, he thought the book would contain poems inspired by dogs and cats, but in the end, he figured that dogs just didn’t lend themselves as well to poetry, and that it would be “improper to wrap them up with dogs.”

8. The show gave T.S. Eliot a posthumous Tony.

So should we talk about that Cats trailer?? ? Here’s the thing: I hate real cats, but I love T.S. Eliot, and I love musical theater…so it’s complicated haha. The CGI was semi-horrifying, but I would listen to Jennifer Hudson sing the ABCs on repeat for hours. Can I miss seeing James Corden playing Bustopher Jones? You know, I can’t. Will I feel as cringe through the whole movie as I did during the trailer? I hope not. The thing I’m holding out hope for is that this baby is choreographed by Andy Blankenbuehler who is a GENIUS (think Hamilton, In The Heights & The Bandstand), and they have some INCREDIBLE dancers in the cast. So if you go back and watch the trailer as a preview for a dance movie, it changes the whole thing. & I always show up for a dance movie. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• That being said, Cats is based off of this book of poetry by T.S. Eliot (yes. THAT gloomy, highbrow T.S. Eliot). Apparently he also had a wonderful sense of humor, a great love of his godchildren (for whom he wrote these poems), and an even greater love for cats. It is clever and joyous, and you should go read it. They’re short and impossible not to smile through. Jury is out on the movie, but the poems have already earned their 5 big ⭐s!! #? What did you think of the trailer? Have you seen it on stage before? Thoughts?

A post shared by Prose Pros (@prosepros) on

Even though Eliot died in 1965, the fact that most of the songs are verbatim recitations of his poems means he’s listed as their lyricist – thus, earning him a Tony in 1983.

7. Andrew Lloyd Weber is not a “cat person.”

The author of the play describes himself as “quite neutral” toward cats, but thought the poems were perfect for a daring West End soundtrack.

6. The original production used 3000 pounds of yak hair.

GRIZABELLA… The CATS are out of the bag!… I can finally share my designs for the very first reimagined version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS in the UK since the original in 1981. Not possible without the brilliant Costume Supervior @j_mime and @dollyhurran with the brilliant wardrobe team @kilworthhousetheatre #theatredesigner #theaterdesign #setdesign #stageset #setdesigner #costumedesign #costumedesigner #stagedesign #stagedesigner #scenicdesign #scenography #ramsgatetunnels #ww2 #blitzlondon #ww2 #londonunderground #catsthemusical #catsmusical #catsthemovie #catsmovie #andrewloydwebber #cats #grizabella @emmahatton1 @iamjhud @intertalentgroup @michaelmooreagency @nickwinston3552

A post shared by Philip Witcomb (@philipwitcomb) on

All major productions of Cats use yak hair to craft their wild feline costumes – which run around $2300 each these days – and costumes are tailored to the actor.

That means that each actor needs a new product, and is the reason the first Broadway production (that ran 18 years) used 3247 pounds of yak hair in total.

A full grown yak, in case you’re curious, weighs around 2200 pounds.

5. Dame Judi Dench was supposed to play in Cats in London, but never got the chance.

She was cast as Grizabella in a West End production in 1981, but tore her Achilles tendon before the show opened.

Fun fact: she was replaced by Elaine Paige (from Evita).

4. But she will star in the movie.

Nearly 40 years alter, Dench is starring as the wise and beloved Old Deuteronomy (Jennifer Hudson will play Grizabella).

3. Weber had to take out a second mortgage to get Cats through its initial run.

Andrew Lloyd Weber had won both success and acclaim with Jesus Christ Superstar, but when he wanted to open Cats, he had a hard time finding investors. Why? Choreographer Gillian Lynne has some thoughts:

“It was very, very difficult to finance because everyone said, ‘A show about cats? You must be raving mad.”

It fell so short of its fundraising goals that Weber took out a second mortgage in order to get it off the ground.

2. The late Grumpy Cat once made a cameo.

Before his untimely death (may he rest in peace), Grumpy Cat made a cameo in the show on Broadway.

1. It set records on both sides of the Atlantic.

The original London production ran for 21 years, making it (at the time) the longest running musical in West End history – a title it handed over to Les Mis in 2006.

On Broadway, the show was performed 6138 times, making it the longest running show on Broadway.

 

You may still never understand, but at least now you’re informed!

People Share the Movies They Consider to Be Perfect

What are some of your favorite movies? Movies you consider flawless?

I know which movies I would consider perfect. The WarriorsBack to the FutureSlap Shot, the original Halloween from 1978, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 1974.

AskReddit users shared what they believe are perfect films.

1. Dr. Strangelove

“Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

The idea that all of humanity could come to an end because the people in charge are idiots still blows my mind. This movie was made 55 years ago.”

2. Little Miss Sunshine

“Little Miss Sunshine.

The characters, and the cast selected for them, absolutely brilliant. The storyline is really in depth yet relatable because the Hoover’s are like any other family; complicated. The writing is superb, all the characters have development and impactful scenes. And the camerawork…my word is it phenomenal. Time and time again each shot is symbolic.

Every character’s position in frame means something. Fantastic work. And don’t get me started on the soundtrack. If you’re not blown away by any of the sheer skill I’ve mentioned, the music throughout will definitely sway you. Touching and emotive, so fitting. It’s so lovely and I always get emotional by its beauty every time I watch it.”

3. Alien

“The original Alien. I’m 24 years old, born in 1995. First time watching was in the grandparents farmhouse in Ireland. Grandmother puts it on at 10:30 and says “enjoy lads, love you both” and leaves us with coca cola, crisps.. you name it we had it, all the munchies two twelve year olds could want. End of the film and I’ve never been so fucking terrified. Still scares me to this day and I practically know it word for word!”

4. Blues Brothers

“The first Blues Brothers.

It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.”

5. The Thing

“John Carpenter’s The Thing

It’s the perfect blend of isolation, paranoia, bloody horror, practical effects, and a shapeshifting alien.”

6. Raiders of the Lost Ark

“Raiders of the Lost Ark is the perfect action movie for me. The intro to Indiana Jones in the jungle is perfect, even with little dialogue. The pacing is great, the characters are solid, the humor is natural, the environments are diverse, and the music is unforgettable. Just an awesome, fun time.”

7. The Hunt for Red October

“The Hunt for Red October.

Believable characters, believable tech even for the one bleeding edge thing that underpins the whole movie. Deaths are few and significant. Very little in the way of special effects so what is there doesn’t screw things up too badly.

It’s a repeat watch for me.”

8. What About Bob?

“What About Bob?

Richard Dreyfus legitimately hated Bill Murray on set. Julie Hagerty is a comic genius, Charlie Korsmo puts in a child performance for the ages, and for bonus a young Katherine Erbe from Law & Order!”

9. Back to the Future

“Back to the Future (the first one, though I do enjoy the other two). The dialogue is brilliantly tight, the acting is incredible and the story while bizarre is original and executed flawlessly and includes some truly iconic sequences (the skateboard chase scene, the insane bedroom scene with his mom, the parking lot knockout, the johnny b. goode sequence, etc).

Also, the whole aesthetic of the movie is one big masterpiece. The set pieces, the cinematography, the soundtrack – it all fits together as one. When I think of “movie magic” this is one of the movies that comes to mind.”

10. Prisoners

“Prisoners. It never had a dull moment and always makes you think- like if you’re in that situation what would you do? Or.. Oh he’s the one who did it, fuck nvm it’s her! oh it’s him for sure or maybeee it’s.. etc. Etc. The acting is only just the best acting can ever reach. Ugh everything was just genius from start, middle to end.”

11. Airplane!

“Airplane!

This is one of those movies that’s the equivalent of the Ballmer Peak. If the comedy broke just a little, or the timing was off, it would be really bad. Instead it’s comedic genius from Mrs. Cleaver being the only one who could speak Jive to all the exterior shots of a jet that has propeller noises.”

12. Die Hard

“Die Hard.

Perfect action movie. Also, Alan Rickman.”

13. Children of Men

“Children of Men. Its cinematography is incredible. The acting and story flow of events is also perfect. Everything came together and its beautiful.”

14. The Prestige

“The Prestige

Has big names, good unexpected and believable twists, a touch of sci fi, and touches on some interesting moralethical dilemmas that humanity might need to deal with one day.”

15. Gladiator

“Gladiator.

Character development, the pace, the ending, everything was perfect.”

Noites quentes de verão Uma história simples num filme muito bem feito. Chalamet interpreta um garoto meio diferente, bobinho, mais na dele, "não-popular", mas também não é um nerd. Daniel, um menino normal, porém sem amigos, vive com sua mãe.  É 1991 e na intenção dele interagir mais, a sua mãe manda ele para a casa de uma tia, lá numa praia pelo lado de lá.  O verão é pesado e ele acaba se tornando o grande amigo do boyzinho que vende maconha aos praieiros da cidade. O cara não é um traficante, tem cara de playboy, mas sem estilo. Simultaneamente, o Daniel, que agora é Danny, mais descolado e parceiro do menino das marijuana, se apaixona por uma loirinha rebelde e sensual. A bronca é que ela é irmã do amigo dele, o qual proíbe o Danny de ter qualquer coisa com sua irmã.  Não é tão simples assim né?! Ainda mais quando a menina começa a retribuir a paixão pelo menino. A bronca é que Danny é inteligente e ambicioso, então ele passa a compartilhar com o amigo dele idéias para eles conseguirem vender mais e ganhar mais. Só que quem quer muito meu amigo, às vezes acaba ficando sem nada.  Recomendo, não só pelo roteiro e pelo Chalamet, mas a edição e montagem são muito legais, feitas com carinho e cálculo pra dar tudo certinho. Adorei. Não é filmaço, mas é muito massa num fim de noite. ??? #elijahbynum #noitesquentesdeveraofilme #hotsummernightsmovie #timotheechalamet #maikamonroe #maiamitchell #filmes #cinema #ofilmex

A post shared by O Filme X (@ofilmex) on

#3. Silencio

Some critics aren’t able to get their head around the unbelievable parts of the film, but others found the story of a woman searching for a magic stone to save her son’s life touching and sincere.

#2. The Little Stranger

The popular gothic novel by Sarah Waters’ gets a spooky adaptation in which Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson) is called to a crumbling house chock full of mysteries.

You Can Buy a ‘Friends’-Themed Furniture Collection from Pottery Barn

You need to throw on your workout gear and run to Pottery Barn while flailing your arms like Rachel Green!

Why? Because this retailer will have merchandise from Friends!

The best part? The apothecary table!

Photo Credit: NBC

The famous episode, “The One With The Apothecary Table,” shows Rachel purchasing said table for her apartment, which she shares with Phoebe. Monica warns her that Phoebe is against mass-produced products, so Rachel fibs and tells her friend that the new table was from a flea market. The entire episode is filled with Pottery Barn plugs, as Rachel goes nuts buying up anything Pottery Barn.

Things like the “ornamental Birdcage – Large,” a telescope, and more.

Though these products were not available at Pottery Barn then, they will be soon!

If you are an overly-crazed Friends fan, this is the perfect way to get your apartment to start looking like the show. It’s unclear exactly what will be sold (other than the table), but PopSugar.com says there will be “14 products ranging in price from $13 to $1,099, and the line has everything from decorative accessories to furniture and textiles.”

So why haven’t we been graced with these treasures of TV past before?

Well, Friends is celebrating the 25th anniversary of it’s start (it ran on NBC from 1994-2004). I suppose this is Pottery Barn’s way of tipping their hat to the famous show.

I think Phoebe would approve.

Could you be any more excited?

Take a Look at the Trailer for the Upcoming Tom Hanks Film About ‘Mister Rogers’

Fred Rogers (1928-2003) has been gone for 16 years now, but his memory and legacy is being kept alive by his legions of adoring fans. And now Hollywood is helping out as well.

Mister Rogers already got the documentary film treatment with 2018’s critically acclaimed Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, and now Tom Hanks will star as the iconic television host in the upcoming film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

The film is based on a 1998 article by Tom Junod for Esquire magazine. Junod’s article detailed the effect Rogers had on millions of fans (and Junod himself) because of his kindness and optimism.

From the reactions on social media, it looks like people are going to need a whole lot of Kleenex to get through this film.

Tom Hanks looks to be the perfect choice to play Fred Rogers, doesn’t he? A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood also stars Matthew Rhys, Chris Cooper, and Susan Kelechi Watson.

Check out the trailer for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

Fred Rogers hosted his famous television program from 1968-2001, and I think it’s pretty safe to say he made an enormous impact on people all over the world. Rogers’ home state of Pennsylvania even has a holiday to honor the man himself. 1-4-3 will now be celebrated every year on May 23 as a statewide day of kindness.

The film is set to open on November 22, 2019. As the person said in one of the tweets above, go ahead and take my money. NOW.

Here’s a Sneak Peek at the Trailer for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’

If you weren’t around for in 1986, it’s kind of hard to describe how popular Top Gun was, but trust me, it was HUGE. My older brother even entertained the idea of becoming a fighter pilot for about four days.

Like I said, it was HUGE.

Well, we’re all in luck again! Top Gun: Maverick is set to hit the big screen next summer and original stars Tom Cruise (Maverick) and Val Kilmer (Iceman) are reprising their roles. Joining them will be Jon Hamm, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller (who plays Goose’s son from the 1986 film), and Ed Harris. The original Top Gun was directed by the late Tony Scott, and this time around, Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy) is at the helm.

Here’s a sharp poster for the new film.

Concerning the action in the new film, Jon Hamm said, “We’re shooting the movie in, I think, 6K. So it’s incredibly hi-def. The aerial footage is mind-blowing. And it’s mostly practical. There’s not a lot of CG. Those guys are really up in planes and getting thrown around in multiple Gs.”

We don’t know a whole lot about the plot yet, but from the preview, it looks like it will be fully locked and loaded with action.

Top Gun: Maverick hits theaters on June 26, 2020. Check out the trailer below.

I don’t know about you, but I am excited about this one! Let’s hope that we get another love scene set to “Take My Breath Away.”
