Well to be honest there have been times when I've considered tapping Idris Elba too.

So, does Macavity sing the song Macavity, now? Will Macavity be given any lines? Or is Mr. Elba just going to come on, look threatening, and leave? What would Luther do?

Will this prove controversial?

Oh wow! I really like this idea actually, she's a name, she can sing, age appropriate, has connection to the show, I love they are changing things up with this one!
Will it be controversial, nope, not at all. A female being the head of the tribe! It's so relevant right now!

Corden just seems perfect for either Skimbleshanks or Bustopher Jones.

I'll be curious who they get for Rum Tum Tugger. I could see Corden as Mungo Jerry.

They should have given Dame Judi the role of Grizabella to make up for missing out on it the first time.

I have a morbid curiosity about this but please do no cast Elaine Paige.

She could have a cameo. She could pop out of one of the dustbins like Oscar the Grouch from 'Sesame Street' giving her giggle. Perhaps during 'Memory', right before Grizabella sings "Toooooooouch meeeeeee".

Corden just seems perfect for either Skimbleshanks or Bustopher Jones. My money is on Bustopher Jones. It's pretty much his James Corden character anyway so limited acting required. |

“Old Deuteronomy’s buried nine wives,
And more, I am tempted to say ninty-nine”
And you thought James Bond was the “player”

“Old Deuteronomy’s buried nine wives, And more, I am tempted to say ninety-nine” And nobody's investigated. He must be real chummy with someone high up in the local police force. |

Francesca Hayward cast as Victoria; now a major role in the film according to an executive and the one to sing Andrew Lloyd Webber's new song for the film. It makes sense, given the amount she dances in the show, that you would get a ballet dancer to play the role. I suspect the same will be done for the male lead dancer Mistoffolees.

According to her Instagram post on the subject she’ll be no longer performing scheduled Royal Ballet performances until the Spring season. She’s one of my favourite dancers and well... now I’m going to have to watch this.

Steven McRae and Olivia Cowley (both of the Royal Ballet) also joining the cast. McGregor (choreographer) obviously knows all three of these dancers well so it could be a perfect fit!

I’m confused (not unusual). Is this a live action movie with people dressed as cats? If not, what does it matter whether someone can dance, as presumably they’ll be computer generated?!?

What would be the point in making an animated version of a musical where the appeal is 100% the dancing? I certainly *hope* It's live action! Although I can't imagine people dressed up as cats looking particularly... normal, on film. Excited to be proved wrong though.
