The showstopping opening number from Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical, Cats!
From Cats (1998): Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS, the most famous musical of all time, first exploded onto the West End stage in 1981. 'Memory', one of its many classic songs, became an instant worldwide hit. Since then CATS has smashed records and conquered the world. Using the latest technology, all the excitement, thrill, romance and intimacy of this theatrical legend has been captured on screen. Breathtaking visuals and full digital sound (that has been completely re-recorded with a seventy piece orchestra) will leave you deep into the mysterious world of CATS as you've never seen it before -- more intoxicating and magical than you could possibly imagine. With a star cast including Elaine Paige and Sir John Mills.

I like that the shoe falling in front of them implies this isn’t a catchy song and great choreography, it’s just a bunch of cats meowing obnoxiously at 2am.
Now this made me realize that the whole show is literally just a bunch of cats loudly meowing a lot in a junkyard.
@@ninarances9074 Exactly lol
LOL great observation! but to them even if we can't understand their language they can to each other and other animals seem to be able to understand each other too. So to them they are living their own world and the world must seem so magical to them, but you have to wonder if they believe in an afterlife or reincarnation too. They are so mysterious to us because we have no idea what's going on in their head except more basic things but it's gotta be more complex than that.
@@Harteo3917 Certainly. I always wonder what my cats are thinking at any given time. I’ve observed when one is getting pets, certain others will come up to me for pets too. They are such loving creatures.
@@Uajd-hb1qs Naww🥲someday i want both a dog and a cat and i will look at them often to try and read their minds and ask them what they're thinking.
I remember being so obsessed with the Cats musical as a kid. I would jump over pillows making cat noises and singing Jellicle cats.
I'm 54 and still am.
Same with me 😁
@@RicardoJoseRezaThe mental image of a 54 year old jumping over pillows making cat noises is hilarious
@@Clodsire_lover Nevera said I did that. I said I was obsesed with the musical.
And the person that wrote that said that she jumoed that way when she was a kid.
And yeah, I am obsessed with the play.
@@RicardoJoseRezayou never said you did that but you weren’t very literally with your comment so I see why the other person would have the image that a 54yr old was jumping on a pillow meowing. The thought of it Is pretty funny though.
John partridge is still the best rum tum tugger ever
Yes. He looks so weird in this song without his mane.
Yeah he does😂
Yep
mann the best
Dan partridge is John partridge's younger brother???
Rum Tum without his FLOOF kills me every single time. HE LOOKS SO SMALL AND TINY.
But still so SASSY
Never noticed that before! :O
Also, Deuteronomy without his coat.
He’s just The Tugger here
I'm a simple girl, I see Munkustrap, I click
literally
Gosh! I had a crush on him when I was a wee gal. His hair is so cool!
Same
LMAO MOOD
SAAAME 😂😂😂
i'm telling you, it's hilarious when you're at a live performance of cats and they just start appearing out of nowhere
You are right all the way
Real so real
And rubbing against your legs
In my show when it started, the cat came out of the hidden hatch beside us. What happened though when the door closed was her tail got caught when it closed. Shd had to tug it several times to get it loose. That was definitely something unique for me.
Like normal cats 😂
Now thats a more realistic face for a humanoid cat.
And you can get a pair of whiskers and a nose better than that film in a village fete XD
Yes

Everything about the costumes and the choreography is meant to evoke the *idea* of a cat. All that money spent on digital fur technology and the movie ended up with actors looking less catlike than the lycra, leg warmers, and face paint of the stage show.
the cats: singing
person *throw's shoe*
the cats:....... SINGS EVEN LOUDER
So like cats
exactly! cats are assholes
they cute tho
@@yekaterina6381 there is "INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE" to that
@@RicardoJoseReza Exactly : )
the literal interpretation of "oh no! anyway"
I'm all about #tuggoffelees personally, but Cassandra makes every shot she's in count, and the last line she gets about Pharaohs and Sphinxes is haunting and beautiful. (I also read somewhere that the reason she has no leg nor arm warmers is because she's supposedly a Sphinx Breed, so no fur.)
i always thought Cassandra to be just a very sleek furred cat. where'd you read she was sphinx? I'd be interested to to see that.
I always thought she was an Abyssian 😭
@@gemfan2002 I think that was a possibility as well. She does sing about the Pharoahs and Sphinx early on, but the Abyssinian is also from Africa, whereas the Sphinx breed is Canadian. So who knows. 😉
@@gemfan2002 That’s what I thought too.
She could be an Egyptian Mau. I had one growing up, and his fur was so sleek and smooth, that in the right (or wrong, depending on who you asked) light, he looked like he just had really dark skin. She also talks about the Pharaohs and Maus were the poster cat for the Egyptians, so to speak.
This specific version of CATS is one of my favorite things in the world.
That being said, I would love to see the bloopers and outtakes of this particular version.
You don't really understand theatre, do you?
There's some in the behind the scenes documentary.
But they recorded the audio in studio, so all they had to remember were the moves and be able to look decent lip-syncing.
@@toniisaacson6282 this is the movie, not an actual stage production
@@sgillman16 ehh
@@sgillman16 I agree and I don't agree at the same, time for me its just recorded theater. like the les mis 25th anniversary. But with no audience.
Even ensamble Tugger is SO sassy lol.
Ikr? It seems almost paradoxical to give him a part in the ensemble 😆
@khymera915 Such an older brother move I love it
And how smugly Tugger looks back at him. Omg
he is so sasdy
This movie had such a great cast, so many memorable faces. The guy playing Munkustrap is so good at moving like an actual feline.
IKR- Hes on his toes and stuff and slightly bending his knees n stuff, its actually impressive
He also has some of the best facial expressions.
@@art-n-animals6724 hes probably a ballet dancer
@@sabbathjackal He actually trained as a diver in his youth and could've made the Olympics, but didn't make the cut. He went on to study theatre to become the actor that he is now.
Michael Gruber is the actor's name. So many of them are great at moving like a cat, Jo Bingham who plays etcetera had so many moments where I thought "omg I have seen a cat do that before!" And the Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser song has a dance move that is incredibly catlike and reminds you of a cat who got spooked and jumped into the air. It's just great.
I think the boot at 4:04 is hilarrious.
Obviously a human threw it to shut these noisy cats up.
But it only made them louder.
That scared my sister when she was younger and I was scared of macavtiy lol
And they're all like "Everybody's a critic"
Also back then, people use to throw boots at cats if they’re being too noisy outside so it’s hilarious. 😂
Typically cat responds- a moment of WTF and then back to not giving 2 shits if they annoy anyone else's lol
Who else here knows that Old Deuteronomy is the voice of Oogie Boogie (Nightmare Before Christmas)?
Yes
What?!
Duke of Markus it’s true! Ken Page is Old Deuteronomy and Oogie Boogie!
Duke of Markus I think Jacob Brent (Mistoffolees) is actually allergic to cats.
Wait what--
I love the 1998 version ! Everyone is just perfect ; the dancing , singing and everything is great ❤ thanks for uploading
Still better then the movie ugh
@@Dim4323But the movie is soo good! Such an underestimated icon.
1:53
MY GOD! That's a hell of a voice!
That’s Ken Page (voice of Oogie Boogie from Nightmare before Christmas) 😁
That's the younger version of Old Deuteronomy
The best part about this song is that the lyrics are easy to follow as identifiable cat traits and then Old Deuteronomy comes out of nowhere and goes "Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?????" and throws us all for a loop.
“Do you know how to DIE?!?!”
Never die @@maddieb.4282
"do you know how to reincarnate"
The make-up is just amazing. The new movie was a disappointment in a lot of ways but going with the human faces was so boring. Munkustrap in the movie hardly stands out from the other cats. Here he's just magnificent with his beautiful mane of fur and his look presents an air of authority.
*Y e s .* He’s a lion, protector of his pride, not some quiet sidekick.
(I will _forever_ be salty; they massacred our boy…)
Don't be a hater, the hit Hollywood film was spectacular and a real CATS! fan would see that and not be negative about it because negativity doesn't get u to the heavy side layer
@@BoleDaPole A real Cats fan would realize that Tom Hopper is a fucking idiot and can’t properly adapt any musical.
@@BoleDaPole Universal lost $70 million because of this movie… it was not a “hit.”
@@BoleDaPole A hit hollywood movie wouldnt have James Corden in it
And using the word "hater" makes you sound like an annoying teen
the girl who plays rumpletiezer is seriously so adorable there’s something so fun about how she moves and her expressions make it look like she really loves performing
Jo Gibb. Love her!
There's an interview where she mentioned that it was her dream role and she got it really fresh from school so makes sense she put all her enthusiasm into it.
Rumpleteazah*
@@tiamaye2203 no, Rumpleteazer*
No, RUUMMMMpulTEAZUH !!
She's the best in a cast of great cats. She has made that role pretty much impossible for anyone else to touch.

Last time I was this early, Grizzabella was young.
Jajajajajjajaja oh that was funny
1:21 Young Grizabella
1:22 well, here she is :D
Fake Account Yeah, they call the costume “Baby Griz”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: the word "Jellicle" occurs 131 times in Cats (more than the 78 instances of "cat" and 81 instances of "cats"). And never once does anyone explain what it means.
Check out author Paul Gallico who's written several books about adventurous cats.
My personal headcanon is that "Jellicle" was the first name of Old Deut in his first life (who was the first magical cat in the vein of Macavity and Misto). They are known as Jellicles because they are all related by blood or spirit (via reincarnation) to Jellicle. That's why they all revere OD. They are his descendents! and according to my belief, he gave them certain abilities that allowed them to be found
@@myheartismadeofstars Well in his song it is stated that he had at least nine mates. That's a lot of kittens.
It doesn't matter what Jellicle means. What matters is the feeling you get through the music.
Like how many big songs have the words " na na na na" in them despite not meaning anything?
@@BoleDaPole When I saw the preview of your comment, I was imagining in Bane's voice:
Macavity: "It doesn't matter what 'Jellicle' means. What matters is our plan."
Rum Tum Tugger: "Was getting caught part of your plan?"
Macavity: "Of course."
Rum Tum Tugger: "Well congratulations, you got yourself caught. Now what's the next step of your master plan?"
Macavity: "Crashing this plane - with no survivors!"
🐈 🐈⬛️
1:22 anyone else see the foreshadowing in Elaine Page singing “when you’re walking alone” because she plays an outcast in Grizabella?
Human: *throws a boot at **4:06*
Jellicle Cats: and we took that personally
It just occurred to me that the cat at 1:22 is Grizabella without her costume
When you go to 1:30 you can see her in the back going off stage :D
22 years. Thanks for pointing that out 😂
@@sophiad.871 omg you're right
@@sophiad.871 Never noticed that before! The way she slowly dances off to the side, it makes it easy to miss.
That’s her as a kitten😘
2:32 holy crap, that voice just came out of nowhere! One line and bam, that's my favourite female singer in the entire play, she sounds phenomenal!
Honestly, yes… I get chills every time I hear that line.
I love altos…and her voice specifically is just so regal.
Becca Parker. She also played Bombalurina in West End.
She has the best voice omg
They look so offended when someone throws a boot at them😂❣
When??
@@xTHExWRAITHx 4:07
Except mungojerrie. He is very smug
I like to think that their singing is just a bunch of meowing and they just woke someone up at midnight
@@jessya775 me too😂
Been singing this song absentmindedly ever since this show was aired.
"Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the sphinx? If you were and you are, you're a Jellicle Cat!" Favorite line, right there.

4:10 when Mungojerrie looks straight at the camera is giving me life.
Hahah o my god u'r right xD
Noticed because of your comment! That's amazing lol
I’ve been watching this film ever since I was three, and never noticed that! God, there’s so many great little details in this version.
He is amazing

I'm so happy that the *fucking disgrace* that was Cats (2019) led me here, to check the original musical. The cast is outstandingly talented, I adore every single song and everything is so enjoyable!
One simple fact...THIS IS A MILLION TRILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE 2019 VERSION.
I have two cats, their names are Munkustrap and Mister Mistoffelees
1:27 i like how elaine page just delivers one line and leaves lol
I was about to ask if that was her.

I’m really impressed with how in sync and fit they all are... this version is like a million times better then the movie
Just about every bad film ever made is better than that disgrace what was the 2019 release.
That's because the actors are lip synching and the music is added later
Whereas the hit Hollywood film the actors actually sing in it too
@@BoleDaPole "Hit" Hollywood film? Sure buddy.
The fact that this doesnt have James Corden in it automatically makes it better
@Casimir III Mate, this is the filmed version. They did all of this in the actual live performances too. No lip-syncing or voice dubs whatsoever.
5:09 Bless Michael Gruber's little exhausted eye roll.
The show just started and I’m exhausted

Who knew a concept as strange as people in costumes reciting poems about cats in a musical form could have worked so well?
This is how it should be done! Thanks for this. I just wish the film didn't exist as it isn't a true representation of the true art of the show. The show is just incredible.
I know. The stage musical Cats is my favourite musical. It's amazing seeing it live with these giant cats roaming around. You totally forget they're people dressed up. Now I'm afraid the film will hurt the stage show. The make-up is just so brilliant. I don't know what they were thinking going for human faces in the movie. And the way the songs were done just sucked all the fun and life out of it (with the exception of the Railway Cat.)
In my mind, this is the ONLY Cats movie
I honestly loved the actual movie cats
@@soofiasiddiqui7160 the movie is fantastic i can't see it enough. Coukdnt care less what the critics in the papers ramble on about
@@Deejaay83urj38 me too! I’m so glad someone finally sees the movie how I see it
I think the artists spent more time in putting this incredible makeup to the actors than the designers of the movie in the CGI. This is pure art 🥰
i agree, the makeup is really something, but about the movie, who is more to blame : the CGI team, or the people who approved the infamous design? i invite you to have a look at Lindsay Ellis' video about "Cats" the movie for *fur*ther explanations :)
I mean the makeup is like a third of the whole appeal, the other 2 thirds are the music and the choreography
It’s fucking hilarious
i think it was the person who approved the design(Tom Hooper) and the studio(Universal) who cut their funding and gave them basically 4 months to cgi the rest of the movie. Since y'know they had 6 months to work on the trailer, didn't have the use of mocap suits(like the people on avatar and Andy Serkis did) and were dealing with a boss who demeaned their efforts and didn't know anything about 3d modeling. It was all Tom Hooper's fault.
@@Ysckemia you didn't
I just watched the movie, the movie should be considered a crime
This is a masterpiece, but only work on teather
I know right I felt exhausted watching the movie
I’m so sorry
2:32 She has the perfect voice for that part
Wow! That actually looks cool and doesn't creep me out unlike the movie. :D
1:23 I just love the head tilts, that is such a amazing moment.

You can see moments of Jenny shine through, before she's forced into doing another lol fat joke moment.
I love how well the costume and makeup crew distinguished the Kittens versus the adult cats. Through context of the songs and choreo you could tell but the visuals just add an amazing layer to it
I’ll take this production over the disrespectful trash film that came out in 2019
Who’s with me?
The fact that this absolutely bizarre and nonsensical musical about cats somehow works will never cease to amaze me.
Cats has always been a guilty pleasure for me.
Whenever people ask me how can you like it? There’s nothing going on… I’m like… yes.. there is nothing going on… in fact there is so much nothing going on that you start to notice things…
1:23 Young Grizabella! It took me quite some time to realise Grizabella appears as a young cat in the prologue. She is still part of the tribe.
I tend to get a negative reaction when I tell people that Cats is my all-time favorite musical. When they say I'm crazy, I just break out into 'Memory.'
This is the song that plays endlessly in the background during the afterlife if you were ever mean to a cat.
damn

Wait... why wouldn’t the song be “Heavyside Layer”? Why would it be this???
@@CosplayCore "Can you do all the cool stuff cats can do? No? Loser." Vibe
What I would give to have seen this cast live...
To be fair, this cast doesn't exist outside of the movie - some actors (Elaine Paige, Susan Jane Tanner, Ken Page, Michael Gruber, Sir John Mills) were brought on specifically for this, and most of the actors played different roles in the running productions at the time. (Doesn't stop us from wishing, though!)

Yes, see my comment !
I'm pretty sure this song is a flashback in the play. That is Grizabella before she left the tribe. That explains why Rum Tum Tugger doesn't have his full coat yet and Old Deuteronomy looks much less fluffy too.
yes that’s her!
@@samantharedacted9226 Yeah, because you also see Tugger and Old D looking much younger so this is kinda like a flashback

My best friend in year 9 had a vhs tape of this and we watched it every afternoon after school. (We weren’t theatre kids, just musical geeks!) This version of CATS above all the others >>>
its cool how their choir actually sounds like cats howling
Cats is the best!!
This version anyway.
WHY MUST THEY TURN EVERYTHING INTO A MOVIE?! I remember going to our local theatre (my music teacher made it into a fun field trip) when I was in school and seeing the STAGE version of this AND FELL INSTANTLY IN LOVE…..
Watching this, I'm wondering something about the film: could fixing the uncanny valley effect have been as simple as given them the show's face painting or the CGI equivalent?
MIght have helped a bit but they´ll still have the janky animation and lighting/shadow issues. A lot of THAT simply is down to not enough post production time.
The problem with the face paint however would be that then the complete cat design of the film doesn´t make sense anymore.
I think they went purposefully for a more naturalistic, less exaggerated vibe in the film. But should have kept more of garish design looks and music, close to the strage show.
I am so impressed by Jenny-any-dots! She can keep up so well with the younger cast!
4:08 I love Mungos face as the boot hits the ground, just that smug "hm well someones upset" look to it lol

If you were 2 watch on repeat 1 artistic rendition over and over...this is it!
Everyone watches their favourite cat in this ensemble. I was constantly looking for dear Rumpleteaser.
Or select one cat for each view and just rewatch the video many, many times.
I like Alonzo/swing he’s one of my favourites
During the choir part he’s standing next to Munkustrap (not sure on spelling)

Anyone else think that Pouncival and Rumpleteazer are the cutest 😍🥰
I do. I love Pouncival - Especially Karl’s version. I have a little crush. 😻
Chivonne McColl same
I find Electra adorable
@@electrathejelliclekitten8063 she can be very adorable especially in Mr Mistoffelees
@@_x._kay_.x_ And in the Rum Tum Tugger song.
I must say this version of CATS is awesome!
A jubilant celebration of human voice and movement -- one of the reasons the decision to re-do it all in CGI in the new film was so disappointing. Well-performed music and well-choreographed dance have more magic than computer animation can hope to have, imho.
The inspiration of our generation's furry kink.
Wait! Is that Grizabella sayong the line “ when you’re walking alone”?
Yep :)
Yes'm
@@aurorajof9857 WOAH! How do you know? And is Jennyanydots in there too? Is Bustopher or Gus in there? MACAVITY?!
@@crimsonmaverick8237 the cats wiki. Jennyanydots is the one who does the high C. Macavity is one of the dance cats named Plato. If you've seen the ball, he's the one who dances with Victoria. He's one of the largest of the dancers as he has to lift both munkus and alonzo
@@aurorajof9857 that’s crazy!
Какой балет шикарный. Какие голоса. И как гениально разбили песню на роли!!!!
I have just convinced my fiance that our bridal party popping up like each of the cats do at the beginning would be so cute when they are introduced at the reception. Now time to convince my bridal party.
Do it!
How did that go over with your bridal party?
@@riledupbuttercup Well, the username checks out.
I did hear about a Cats themed wedding. They asked their guests to wear cat ears, it sounded really cute. It was longer ago than this post though so hey, you would not be the first to do it!
@@roselover411 That does sound cute. (To me anyway.) (Please closely observe my name and I believe you will understand very well why that would be.) 🐈
such a good show!
Idk why but my friends always get annoyed when I sing Cats ITS THE BEST MUSICAL EVER HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT LIKE IT
The problem with cats is it takes a bit of getting used to the absurdity in order to like it, and people just don't want to put in that effort *because they think it's absurd.*
It's a bit of a *cat*ch 22.
Human: *throws boot*
Cats: oh no! anyway
any Etcetera fans out here? the cutest kitten queen ❤️
She's so clumsy, and we love It.
Not me aggressively locating Munkustrap every shot
I still don't understand why I love this so much but I do, I really do
I imagine how most of the audience thought ”WTF are they saying? jellycool cats?”
Last time I was this early Grizzabella lived her memories.
The prequel to Cats - Grizzabella in the Daylight.
Excellent show I wish I had their energy.🥰🥰
