I mean I could explain how I was a massive CATS fan as a kid and always wanted to see it and then one Christmas my parents gifted me with the tickets but by then I was a teenager and hadn't mentioned CATS for, like, eight whole years and I was so flabbergasted I didn't even think of saying thank you, and then we went and saw the musical and I DON'T REMEMBER A THING.
But I'm actually commenting to tell you that I completely LOST IT around the 39-minute mark where Judy Dench's long-ass monologue goes on forever and is overlaid with footage of clock hands, withering flowers, and the skeleton from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I was laughing so hard I CRIED.
I knew that Cats was a stage show that existed, but had no idea about it or any feelings whatsoever until my mom took me to see it while they were on tour in my senior year of high school. I liked it well enough to see the 1998 filming of the stage show a couple of times. I was morbidly curious about the film adaption when the trailer was released, but not enough to actually sit down and watch it. Like Lindsay says, we'll always have the 1998 version, and that was all we needed anyway.
