They lost me with Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella. That is not a rendition of Memory I'm looking forward to hearing.

Posted: 11/20/18 at 6:21pmThis movie keeps getting worse. I mean, was he really the best choice for this role? Did he even audition?
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Picking apart the lies that a person on the production team of Ruben & Clays First Annual Christmas Carol Family Fun Pageant Spectacular Reunion Show posts is one of the things we like!

This honestly sounds like Springtime for Hitler. Something so impossibly horrible that it’s almost brilliant.
But then again, Cats was always kind of that.

I have a feeling this film isn’t going to be live action, but instead CGI cats with these singers voicing them.
Well we know there has been dancer auditions and members of the Royal Ballet cast, so most likely live action (or partly).

Again:
I'm proposing a Broadway World Underground Meetup where a group of us pass (a jew) joint(s) and then go see this film on the biggest screen that's showing it.

It could be motion capture(ala Avatar) - although I have no idea if motion capture can be translated into the cat imagery between now and the release date.

My wacky-tobaccy days are mostly behind me, but I'll come out of retirement for this cinematic event.

I intend to see this film on opening night with a big bucket of popcorn. It's going to be so wonderfully awful. I truly can't wait to watch this nightmare play out on screen.

my fiancé hilariously said yesterday the cast list looks like you clicked a random cast generator and i had to agree
also why do we need a new thread every single time a new cast member is announced

Everytime there is a new casting for this, I click to see who it is and what role they will play and I constantly feel like.....

Yeah, he's actually classically trained. Doesn't mean this movie is gonna suck less but his vocals definitely won't be a problem.

Oh god I hope this means that ALW is insistent on having a rapping cat.
