.......this Friday, May 15th, for 48 hours (Note: This is a filmed version of the stage play from (over) 20 years ago.......and NOT the feature film released late last year)!

EDIT (5/15/2020): It wasn't made clear in the article, but this is the 'channel' you must visit on YouTube to stream the play for free during the 48 hours it's being made available:

Cats (1998)

Elaine Paige as "Grizzabella"

And again, the version being shown this weekend is a filmed version of the actual play from 1998, and NOT the feature film version from late last year, as discussed here:

Thanks for the heads up. I've enjoyed some of the individual numbers on YouTube. It'll be fun to see the entire production.

I saw it on stage, when it first began touring. And, I loved it.

From all that I hear, the recent film version is bad-to-terrible.

Koalas are that rare mix of cuter than a kitten and meaner than a junkyard dog.

And yet still creepy since they apparently did not realize that stage makeup which looks great from a distance looks like crap in close-ups. Catman got the movie when it was first released but could not finish watching it.

When you're a Cat,
You're a Cat all the way
From your first catnip mouse
To your ninth dyin' day.
