The filmed production of the musical Cats, by Andrew Lloyd Webber and based on the works of T S Eliot's Book of Practical Cats, was released on video in 1998. The film was shot in London’s Adelphi Theatre, directed by David Mallet. The soundtrack for the film was recorded with a seventy piece orchestra to create a full digital sound. In the film, the license plate on the car that can be seen at the back of the stage reads “TSE 1″ for T.S. Eliot – whose collection of poetry, Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning musical. The film is commonly referred to by fans as "The Cats Video".
