I agree 1000000% the wigs and costumes in the play make it so much better and add so much personality, they’re not just wearing fur they’re actually wearing costumes just with more fur than most.

Why are you doing this to yourself, Hannah? Are u ok? Should we be worried?

Cats is one of my fave musicals. This required an absurd amount of tequila to sit through in the theatre. 😅 re: Beautiful Ghosts: of course they had to add a new song for Oscar bait

I think the core problem with the casting is that they didn't hire theater actors with strong voices. Cats is a very traditional, old school musical. The dancing and the singing is the whole point. Most of the other stuff would be forgivable if you were watching great dancers and listening to great singers.

"Sorry all your family died, but at least you had a family" is such a perfect way to describe that song.

I still remember watching this one in theaters: by the time “Memory” happened, three children were crying of sheer, eldritch terror 💀 thank you for suffering through it for us!

Taylor Swift wrote beautiful ghosts and her version in the credits is the best thing in the entire film 😂

Hannah, PLEASE do the 1998 recording, we need someone to spread the good word of John Partridge and the Munkustance and just EVERYTHING about the actual stage show

I never could figure out WHY I hated this movie so much, but you hit it! THE PROPORTIONS! THE SCALE!! I CAN'T!!

Hannah being so mad about the proportions of the cats that she couldn't even Skimbleshanks The Railway Cat, the one song where the rhythm is consistently maintained in this film, is just incredible

The literal lyrics : "McCavity's a GINGER cat"

I think the biggest problem with Cats is that it was directed by someone who doesn’t know what makes musical theatre

I loved Ian McKellen’s meowing it was hilarious and he may be the only one in the entire film having fun.

Say what you will, but Cats 2019 was some of the most fun I've ever had in the theater. Everyone in the theater was just screaming at the screen the whole time. 10/10

Victoria didn’t have any solos in the original show. She’s an innocent voiceless kitten who is learning as she watches. The other cats stand out since the get songs that help you learn who is who, despite being a sea of browns and oranges and blacks and creams. The cat without a solo was white so she’d stand out without a song. When she gets curious and goes toward Grizabella and is pulled back by the others, she only stands out from the crowd by being solid white.

I saw this in theaters with my grandma. Besides her and myself, there were only two other people in the theater with us. All I could think when watching this movie was I could be watching Frozen 2 next door.

Hannah being confused about Memories makes so much sense cause in the musical she is visibly separated by everyone the whole time and her whole thing is 'touch me' she just wants to be accepted as part of the group again and physical touch is the thing that signify it. It's the new cat who does go to her first and then brings everyone back with her.

Thank you for giving credit to Sideways! His musical analysis is so on point!

Hannah, looking in the bright side for every movie musical.
