Well, there’s Idris Elba, the villain. And
Rebel Wilson. And James Corden. And Judi Dench. And Ian McKellen. Oh, and
Grizabella is Jennifer Hudson, of course!
Why don’t people love this? They must be
allergic to cats. They’ve certainly never had a cat for a pet.
The costumes are brilliant. How do they
wave their tails and twitch their ears? The staging, the colour, the dancing,
the music – I love it!
