MOVIES Cats
Thousands and thousands of years later, the theater remains an essential cornerstone of culture. There's few experiences quite like watching a sellout show on Broadway, the West End, or just about any live performance circuit. That said, sometimes the magic of theater can be used to create a classic piece of cinema. Films like 'Grease' and 'The Sound of Music' are some of the most iconic movies ever, but they wouldn't exist without the amazing musicals they're based on. Now, 'Cats' is getting the much-deserved movie treatment. Andrew Lloyd Webber's feline fantasy has some huge stars in Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, and James Corden, who are bound to do justice to iconic songs such as 'Memory' and 'The Rum Tum Tugger.' Get excited for the new 'Cats' film with this new gallery, as we take a look at the best ever stage-to-screen musicals.
