Westworld Star Slams Cats for Disrespecting Musical's Original Choreography


At this point, it seems like everyone would agree that Cats isn't the greatest film of all time. However, Evan Rachel Wood has an interesting reason not to like the movie. The Westworld star has just slammed the live-action adaptation of the beloved musical for changing the original choreography.

Wood took to Twitter to express her disappointment about Cats. Interestingly, the real reason why the Frozen II actress was so unhappy with the movie had a lot to do with the choreography.

"……..#cats is actually worse than I thought it would be, And I already thought it would be horrible. But….I am actually speechless. Why would you change the choreography? I…am SPEECHLESS," Wood wrote. In a second tweet, she continued slamming the film for the new choreography.

"I have to have an actual live reaction of this. What the f—, what the f—, what the f—? What? What? What… the f—? What the f—? Oh my god! They changed all the iconic choreography. Took out 70% of the main characters. Changed the plot. I grew up in theatre. I was married to a dancer. I have massive respect for what they do, which is why this was such a letdown and missed opportunity for that community," Wood wrote.

People immediately began reacting to Wood's tweets, prompting the actress to delete her posts. Nevertheless, it's clear that the Westworld star had a strong opinion about the film's take on the musical.

Cats is currently screening in theaters worldwide.
