Cats Great Performances : Season 27 Episode 3

At long last, the world's greatest musical theater blockbuster makes its world television premiere. Over 17 years, "Cats" became the longest running musical in Broadway history, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's sensational interpretation of T. S. Eliot's OLD POSSUM'S BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS has gone on to charm audiences around the globe. Now lavishly filmed for television with a specially augmented 76-piece orchestra, its many musical highlights include Elaine Paige returning to the role of Grizabella, the faded "glamour cat" who sings the showstopping "Memory." Also featured are Sir John Mills as Gus and Broadway cast original Ken Page as Old Deuteronomy.
