Andrew Lloyd Webber is officially a dog person, and he has Tom Hooper’s musical trash-fire “Cats” to thank for that. The 2019 adaptation of Lloyd Webber’s blockbuster musical was the laughing stock of the holiday movie season. Not only did it get scathing critical reviews, but it also bombed at the box office, with not even $30 million domestically. In a new interview with Variety, Lloyd Webber held back nothing while discussing how much he dislikes Hooper’s adaptation.
“‘Cats’ was off-the-scale all wrong,” Lloyd Webber said. “There wasn’t really any understanding of why the music ticked at all. I saw it and I just thought, ‘Oh, God, no.’ It was the first time in my 70-odd years on this planet that I went out and bought a dog. So the one good thing to come out of it is my little Havanese puppy.”
