Curiosidades
The closing credits indicate that the characters of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were "dubbed" by other singers. Drew Varley and Jo Gibb sang the entire song themselves but they couldn't get the giggling and "Shh"-ing at the beginning of the song down.

Pifias
The poem/song "The Naming of Cats" states that a cat's "second name," such as those used by the characters in this show, is unique and not shared by any other cat. However, the song introducing Old Gus the Theatre Cat says that his full name is Asparagus, which is also the name of another cat in the show. This is because John Mills, who played Gus, was unable to do the rest of the singing and dancing the role required, so the character was split into two identically-named characters.

Citas
Grizabella: Touch me! It's so easy to leave me all alone with the memory of my days in the sun. If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is. Look! A new day has begun.

Fabulous, fun production of the popular musical

Who knew a spontaneous decision to see the terrible CG nightmare fuel CATS adaptation would make me watch the 1998 CATS-- and then become a fan of this weird, weird musical?

The new movie truly is bad, but the original material, much maligned over time, is actually pretty amazing. I love the variety of musical styles in all the songs, the sense of community among all the characters, even those bizarre stylized costumes and make-up. This is a fun musical, all around, and I can see why trying to make it more "cinematic" does not suit the material. The 1998 adaptation seems to essentially just shoot the stage show as it is, with a few close-ups and cinematic flourishes for good effect.

While I would recommend the 2019 movie for those who love hilariously bad films, the 1998 film is the better choice if you want to see just why CATS made billions of dollars.
