The original Broadway production ran for 18 years and 7,485 performances, making it the sixth longest-running production in Broadway history.
The film is being directed by Tom Hooper, whose other recent film credits include The King's Speech and Les Miserables.

Cats officially wrapped filming in April 2019, and the movie is set to be released on December 20th, 2019.
