Re-Orchestrating Cats | Backstage at Cats The Musical

Watch Cats (1999) here: www.uphe.com/movies/cats-1999
Andrew Lloyd Webber takes you behind the scenes of the re-orchestration of Cats for the filmed production.
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 productions that look like a stage, or actually recorded on a stage, hit me me a lot harder than the ones that look like Hollywood movies. They give me the feeling I got when I saw them live.

[@joshualogue984]

So many quotes from this absolutely TEAR the 2019 movie to shreds

[@silasnormile8445]

The movie does that to itself all alone, lol.

[@gabriellagraham8941]

Lol imagine if Hooper watched this and was like so this is how you actually run an orchestra lol

[@dillonohlemiller9027]

Which ones

[@julianaraspe]

PLEEEEAAASE get this version of the recording on Spotify!!!

[@JM-lh8rl]

Juliana Giro Wholeheartedly second this! I was bummed out to see that it wasn't on there

[@brianaustin5467]

To do that they would probably need to recontract with all those involved who were hired to produce the soundtrack of the video. I doubt that it would be economically viable.

[@Northflowo]

Yess!

[@baylinkdashyt]

@@brianaustin5467 You're making some assumptions about the contracts that they *did* sign with people that (unless you're an insider and I don't know it) you can't *possibly* have knowledge. Yes, surely; industry standards and like that. This was /ALW/, rerecording /CATS/ for film. It's a mug's game to assume they were standard contracts.

[@dillonohlemiller9027]

Why didn’t they do a new cast recording for the revival? I would have bought it

[@oliviagimlin4689]

My dream is seeing Cats live✨

[@amythetaylor7253]

Same. There’s only so many times I can watch the film or listen to it 😂😂

[@daynacooper1163]

The phantom of the opera my favourite musical ever

[@downtown82]

I grew up watching the video tape over and over again and dancing in my parents livingroom. I saw the production in London and was bored. The movie cast truly are amazing. The theatre experience didn't even came close.

[@meemurthelemur4811]

I've seen it 3 times, twice in New York and once in London. The London show was hands down my favorite. It is different than the DVD performance, but I won't say any more, I don't want to give anything away or ruin the surprises!🥰😍

[@jessbrannon7574]

They were supposed to come where I live but then covid hit

[@antozurita8637]

I got into this musical about a month ago and every time I learn something new I fall more and more in love with it

[@Nurichiri]

Keeping close to the spirit of the stage show (6:11) is something I wish had been done with the new movie.

[@claunspach]

I'm a huge fan of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and of Cats so this is a real treat! Very interesting and exciting.

[@work90]

I too am a fan of Floyd Mayweather

[@singulartrout]

i could listen to him talk for hours, and as it turns out, I do.

[@claunspach]

Your genius brain... I'm in awe of your work Andrew. Memories is my absolute favourite!

[@jorgecurti]

Could watch all those old tapes for all day...

[@LovisasMustasch]

I'm very much enjoying these cats backstage clips keep them going :)

Can you do Down Once More from Phantom Of The Opera 25ty Anniversary

[@anavlaho2862]

Amazing and remarkable !!!

[@goldsundrops]

Imagine going to the trouble of re-orchestrating and recording it again but not making the soundtrack available anywhere. :')

[@jonathanfajans3116]

Just search for the 1998 movie soundtrack, and there you go.

[@goldsundrops]

@@jonathanfajans3116 wow I totally have not thought about doing that. Oh wait, I have. It does not exist. The only cast recordings they released were the original London and Broadway casts, and "highlights" from the 2019 film.

[@kimberlycooper4170]

Every time I hear Andrew Lloyd Webber speaking, it jolts me. I've only known since "The Shows Must Go On" that he is British. So, I've always read his statements in a USA accent.

[@brianaustin5467]

The fact that he had a knighthood and a peerage should have been a clue.(lol)

[@kimberlycooper4170]

@@brianaustin5467 , good point. However, I've never spent much time noticing peerage and knighthood.

[@brianaustin5467]

@@kimberlycooper4170 ...or that he was called Sir Andrew and latterly Lord Lloyd-Webber. ;)

even back then they used nt1-as that is proof that one doesnt need $3000 to make a good sound

[@baylinkdashyt]

Ok, so you beat it to death for a 90 piece orchestra. Did you record it? For release, I mean?

[@grantmalone]

3:30 Wish Andrew had told Elaine to fix her phrasing too.
