Trivia:
The actors pictured on the cover of the movie are not the actors you will see performing in the film. The actors were taken from the London cast that was performing in the show at that time. The only actor who actually appears in the film is Veerle Casteleyn who performed as Jemima in the film and the stage show. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The closing credits indicate that the characters of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were "dubbed" by other singers. Drew Varley and Jo Gibb sang the entire song themselves but they couldn't get the giggling and "shh"-ing at the begining of the song down. more

This movie was amazing...purrrley amazing.
Jacob Brent as Mr. Mistoffelees blew me away. He is such a talented dancer. Jacob Brent along with some of the greatest dancers in the world make this movie one to watch over and over again. The combination of wonderful music and dancers, along with the most beautiful costumes imaginable make this movie of the Broadway production memorable. I highly recommend it. Now and Forever
