Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats may have exhausted its nine lives on Broadway, but this staged-for-the-cameras spectacle gives it a 10th. Reissued to commemorate the show's final curtain, this campy reproduction features pumped-up orchestrations, rock-video lighting, and close-ups of grease-painted, gyrating felines — plus Paige, who's pitch-purr-fect on ''Memory.'' Sure to last ''Now and Forever,'' even if you watch it only once. B
