Nobody has forgotten or overlooked the Cats movie. It was an absolute dumpster fire that was joked about and parodied for a year. You're right its not being talked about as much right noe because its been 7 years. Lets not act like it didn't have cultural impact for the wrong reasons. Its like saying Dear Evan Hansen was forgotten about.

Oh you mean the uncanny valley CGI nightmare fuel and also harbinger of events to come? we do not speak of the 2019 film adaptation, not even Andrew Lloyd Webber who got a Javanese as an emotional support animal...

The more material they add of his, the more of a case for a promotion to a cowriting credit becomes arguable. ALW and co. are going to toe that line as close as they can, especially since Dudney had to fight to get the very small credit he did for “Additional MC Material” in the first place"
Actually I've been having a DM conversation with one of the cast members they told me some exciting info. The album producer (I guess they're referring to Alana de Fonseca) has seen the show multiple times. The band sounds amazing. the vocal sounds amazing. granted they are doing a little pitch correction here and there (which is perfectly normal) but they're very much trying to keep it very much like the ball itselfand that definitely includes all of the ad-libs, chants, and dialogue. They wrapped recording yesterday so now its up to the mixing and mastering which as we all know takes a very long time..."
Oh awesome! It’s entirely possible who I was chatting with and when didn’t have this same information.

And yet here we are, discussing it!"
Only because someone randomly brought it up"
Yep, that's how conversation works!"

Oh, you're one of those insufferable people who has to be right about everything.
