Cats the Musical Commemorative Edition DVD. Color, Dolby 5.1, Widescreen. 121 minutes. Bonus feature: 30 minute documentary "What's a Jellicle Cat? The Making of Cats the Video".
Filmed over 18 days at the Adelphi Theater in London's West End under the direction of David Mallet in 2000, Cats comes vividly, cinematically to life on DVD. Andrew Lloyd Webber's score has been recorded with a 70-piece orchestra, and the sound is exceptional. For newcomers this will be a delight, and for fans of the stage version, you'll be treated to a whole new way of looking at Cats.
The cast, assembled from London, Amsterdam, and New York productions, includes Ken Page as Old Deuteronomy, Jacob Brent as Mr. Mistoffelees, and Elaine Paige as Grizabella, the Glamour Cat.
