CATS
The longest-running musical in the history of West End and Broadway theatre is now available as a special DVD presentation. For the FIRST TIME EVER an Andrew Lloyd Webber show has been specially filmed and made available on DVD. With a star cast including
Elaine Paige and Sir John Mills, and its stunning production values, CATS will no doubt set a new standard for the filming of all future musicals. Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS, the most famous musical of all time, first exploded onto the West End stage in 1981. 'Memory', one of its many classic songs, became an instant worldwide hit. Since then CATS has smashed records and conquered the world. Using the latest technology, all the excitement, thrill, romance and intimacy of this theatrical legend has been captured on screen. Breathtaking visuals and full digital sound (that has been completely re-recorded with a seventy piece orchestra) will lead you deep into the mysterious world of CATS. CATS - as you've never seen it before - more intoxicating and magical than you could possibly imagine.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
His voice calls to her, nuturing her extraordinary talents from the shadows of the Opera House where innocent chorus girl Christine Daae makes her home. Only ballet mistress Madame Giry knows that Christine's mysterious 'Angel of Music' is actually the Phantom, a disfigured musical genius who haunts the catacombs of the theatre, terrifying the ensemble of artists who live and work there.
When temperamental diva La Carlotta walks out in the middle of a dress rehearsal for the company's latest production, the theatre's eager new managers have no choice but to thrust Christine into the spotlight.
Her mesmerizing opening night performance captivates both the audience and the Phantom, who devotes himself to casting his protege as the Opera's next star. But he is not the only powerful man to be awed by the young soprano, as Christine soon finds herself courted by her childhood sweetheart and the theatre's now wealthy patron, the Vicompte Raoul de Chagny.
Though she in entralled by her charismatic mentor, Christine is undeniably drawn to the dashing Raoul, enraging Phantom and setting the stage for a dramatic crescendo in which soaring passions, fierce jealousies and obsessive love threaten to drive the fates lovers past the point of no return.
