John Napier on Cats' Production Design | Backstage at Cats The Musical

Watch Cats (1999) here: www.uphe.com/m...
John Napier discusses the inspiration behind his iconic designs for the 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.

The 2017(18?) redesign and rearrangement of Rum Tum Tugger is the biggest mistake in musical theatre x

[@whatthefuxbro1712]

Fr fr. So happy they discontinued it and Tugger is back to his glorious self

[@Phobie_2000]

That was actually in 2012 in the West End revival.

@@Phobie_2000 Wow that long ago?! I feel old now lol x

[@chelseataylor5244]

I can’t imagine being part of the first run or even the 98 recording (really any stage production of Cats) and working so hard and making such magic and then seeing it be absolutely butchered and disrespected by that sad excuse for an adaptation in 2019.
