Jennifer Hudson in ‘CATS.’ (Film still courtesy of Universal Pictures/YouTube)
The original Broadway production ran for 7.485 performances, and for the two people left on the planet who haven’t seen the musical with infinite lives, CATS is getting a major Hollywood makeover.
Tom Hooper (The Danish Girl, Les Misérables) directs an all-star cast (or at least CGI versions) that includes Idris Elba, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, Taylor Swift, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench and Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella singing the musical’s mega-hit, “Memory.” Andy Blankenbuehler, who choreographed the recent Broadway revival, has also choreographed the film.
