Synopsis

Popular on London’s West End for several years, this fantastical, if slightly odd, musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, receives an all-star screen adaptation. Based on T.S Eliot’s poetry book ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’, the story follows a group of London street cats called the Jellicles hoping to make it to heaven. Featuring a series of familiar faces as the CGI cats and including the musical’s popular songs such as ‘Memory’, this is an entertaining watch perfect for the festive season.
