Consider this repeat telecast another of the nine lives for this 1998 Great Performances production of Cats, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s once-ubiquitous stage musical based on the fanciful musings of T.S. Eliot. This production captures, for posterity, the performances of Elaine Paige as Grizabella, Ken Page as Old Deuteronomy, and Carrot Top as Hairball. (Okay, I admit it: I made that last one up.) Check local listings.

Would loved to have watched this but your TVWW arrived the day after Cats aired. You seem to be a day late on most of your Best Bets. Wish you would change this.

Anytime something airs on PBS, Bert, and David features it in Best Bets, he asks that you check your local listings as each station may decide to air that particular program at a different time than has been listed by PBS itself. Apparently, your local station decided to air "Cats" the day before PBS had it scheduled and, therefore, the day before David listed it as a Best Bet. We're sorry about that but we can't do anything to change it, unfortunately.
