Hi Ponies! This weekend, the monstrosity that is Cats is released into the wild. If you have never seen the long running Broadway musical, you are in luck. An even more horrifying version is coming to a movie theater near you. If you would rather not see Taylor Swift, Jason Derulo, Ian McKellan, Jennifer Hudson, Idris Elba, James Corden, Rebel Wilson, and Dame Judi Dench as Cats, then check out some this weekend’s QBWB instead and enjoy a sneak preview of the horror movie/musical that is CATS! The Movie!
