[@Ayden_B]

Wow they really improved the makeup over the years

[@disneydanny2]

indeed. *AND* the costumes. the Costumes in the Broadway Revival and revival tour seemed as if they were patterned after the Original London costumes.

[@Ayden_B]

@@disneydanny2 indeed. I’d say the modern version is somewhat of a mix between the Broadway and London versions

I saw it on stage Live at the Winter Garden theater that was my first Broadway show I ever saw what a fantastic show❤❤

[@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat]

This ad was My Introduction to The Jellicle Ball and Back then I thought it was a Film, 3 Years later I went to The Jellicle Ball, and Little Joe: The Moonlight Cat was Born on May 8, 1987.

[@pankubeq9232]

i love the original broadway set, makeup and costume design

[@sosomusubi9413]

What are the chances there's an old recording of this? This is very 80s, and I absolutely love it. Can we just admire Tim Scotts (Misto's) dancing for a second?

[@chrissi2810]

The TOFT Archive (Theatre on Film and Tape) at the New York Public Library has a full recording of the original Broadway cast. It can only be watched there on appointment and if people can verify they are working in theatre or studying something related to it. So it's rather difficult to see it.

[@baylinkdashyt]

@@GalaxyNexus1 You aren't paying attention. Jan is addressing *Sir Andrew*, who could in fact legally set up a deal like that.

[@GalaxyNexus1]

@@baylinkdashyt I paid perfect attention. The comment I responded to made no mention of Sir Andrew. That said, he actually does not have the right to sell rehearsal footage because he wrote the music to the show, he isn't performing it. He would be able to sell footage of him sitting at home playing the songs on his piano, I presume, but he would need express permission from the various Unions and individuals involved representing those featured in that footage including actors, dancers, singers, musicians, etc. And along with said permission, payment to those performers would also need to be arranged.

I have a big question for everyone: is there a complete record of this '84 show at all? I managed to find only an audio disc for sale, but I want to watch a video too.

[@baylinkdashyt]

Probably not. But there's the 1998 filmed version, which a) I think is available, b) might even be on BluRay, and c) will be here on KZbin ... starting tomorrow at noon. Shot in the West End, with some, but not all, of the then current London cast.

[@batsu711]

@@baylinkdashyt yes, of course I have a version of '98, but I really want this old one too

[@FrozenRose816]

@@baylinkdashyt I love the recorded version from 1998...except for the fact that it's missing Growltiger's Last Stand. I haven't gotten the DVDs yet to see if it was added in, but considering it's also been cut from the revival, I don't have high hopes. I wasn't able to catch the stream of it this weekend.

[@i.cant.sleep.anymore]

Imagine living in New York and your local channels advertise Broadway musicals. Huh.

[@OlaOla-ct4nu]

Please do live NBC or Fox version and Evita or Starling express of course 🙏

[@williamfairchild7439]

Yeah I agree with that and I do like the Live TV musicals on NBC and Fox

[@OofusTwillip]

"Starlight Express" would be extremely difficult to do as a live TV special, because it requires a high level of skill on roller skates, and it's the most dangerous of all of ALW's shows, because the race scenes are choreographed roller derbies. The live TV musicals rely on big-name talent, but there aren't any big names who have the skills, or would be willing and able to take the months-long crash course that cast members of the stage show have to take.

[@TiaBelle123]

@@williamfairchild7439 @Ola Ola The KZbin channel @Wait in the Wings has an amazing documentary about Starlight Express! It will help you understand why that show wouldn't be a good decision for the live/slightly pre-recorded Broadway shows.

[@Jason-Clark235]

The flipping 2019 movie makes this seem so stupid and bad but the Broadway/west end version really is amazing

[@GalaxyNexus1]

The fact that you think you can judge a Tony Award Winning Broadway production based off of a commercial and think it seems stupid and bad is what's stupid and bad. And the movie had lots of problems, and failed because people with mindsets like yours were behind it. The play got so many things right where the movie failed.

I don't know but... I still prefer the original versions of thos 'extravagant' shows, like Cats ou Miss Saigon. Nowadays it seems they've "shrank" a bit, loosing a touch of originality with the revised high tech productions... Althought it may be said that's for the high cost, somehow, I whish they didn't change much. Les Miz for ex. hasn't the same charm it used to have before the revised production. Now, Phantom just had closed on Bway, when appear again (hope so), is gonna be totally different, probably the tour version or a edited one. ✂️😥

Do you mean the '98 version? That was a mix of cast/characters from various versions and a lot of content was cut or changed to suit the video format - you only have to look at the 2019 movie version to see how worse that adaptation was - never saw Cats live, would love to but the '98 version was awesome
