Lloyd Webber's Cats Therapy: Puppy & Stage Show

0:00On April 1st, Andrew Lloyd Weber is still dragging the 2019 Cats movie, the one based on his blockbuster musical. On the latest CBS Sunday morning, he spilled that the flop was so bad, he bought himself a Havanese puppy as a therapy dog for flights. He even writes a note to airlines citing the Cats movie, and they waive the doctor certificate every time. He joked with the host that his gripes could fill a very long interview. This ain't new beefback in August 2020, he blasted director Tom Hooper for cutting out everyone from the original stage show. Just like... Hooper did with Les Miserables. The film had an Oscar-winning director and a-listers like Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Judy Dench, and Ian McKellen. But it tanked hard. Critics shredded it to a 19% on Ron Tomatoes, calling it a total cat astrophy and it bombed at the box office. Stars like Rebel Wilson, James Corden, and Hooper scooped up razzies for the mess. Meanwhile, a fresh Broadway spin called Cats, the Jellicle Ball just opened up, giving the story new pause to play on.

1:06Weber's keeping that therapy puck close, but the stage version proves Cats still got nine lives where it counts. That's your update from Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI.
