JUDI DENCH ‘LITTERBOX SHUFFLE’ INCLUDED ON CATS 4K DISC RELEASE

Director Tom Hooper has confirmed that ‘Litterbox Shuffle’, a dance number shot at a reported cost of $1.5million but cut from the final edit of his 2019 adaptation CATS, will be reinstated in sequence for the 4K Blu-ray disc.

An original composition penned for the much-maligned bigscreen version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stage phenomenon, ‘Litterbox Shuffle’ features Dame Judi Dench in her role as ‘Old Deuteronemy’, scratching at an uncleaned litter tray in the hope of finding some fresh granules upon which to defecate. 

 

The scratching leads to a modern dance/tap number which also includes James Cordern (as ‘Bustopher Jones’) and Rebel Wilson (as ‘Jennyandots’), reportedly burying themselves in the waste tray and, at one point, laying prone as Hooper’s camera captures them making ‘litter angels’ with their arms and legs.

More to follow….
