I remember this episode always playing on tv, and I use to so mesmerized by the stick she used to make her face white color. And then when she added the red lips it felt so satisfying and magical.

How magical are some performances? I saw this when my son was little- (he's 26 now) and was astounded by the powerful voice that came out of this tiny woman. I remembered her- even though thru the years I have searched for this clip & only found Elaine Page. I had never seen Cats, so didn't know much about it except that when I heard Elaine sing Memory it was different than how I remembered seeing it on Reading Rainbow. I don't know why tonight I just thought of it again, & thought, "Gee, maybe it's under Reading Rainbow" & walaah (or however that is spelled) here it was. So, long story short , a 2 minute clip that I saw decades ago, was powerful enough to make me search for it again all this time later. Elaine was excellent, but my gosh Loni's power was second to none. Just awesome. It brought tears to my eyes even after the third time I replayed it. Can you tell I'm a theatre nerd?

@ Susan Savard, I 100% agree! I saw this episode DECADES ago back when I was around 5 years old (For comparison, I'm about to turn 37 now) and all the videos on KZitem of Elaine Page performing as Grizzlebella looked and sounded VERY different from what I remembered as a child. As a child, I was COMPLETELY blown away, hearing Loni Ackerman sing in this clip for the first time. This is what first got me interested in Broadway's and musicals. Elaine Page, though very talented, never quite captured the magic I remembered from this clip. I just assumed that, being a 5 year old at the time, I was just "misremembering" or distorting the greatness of it. Then, like you, I decided to search under 'Reading Rainbow', and *VOILA* ! IT'S JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AND MAGICAL AS I REMEMBERED!

Thanks for having this up! Absolutely a treasured episode. After seeing the trailer today, I went looking for this bit of comfort and reminder of why I respected the musical (and Reading Rainbow!) so much.

An old favorite of mine. Until looking at an episode guide of mine, I wasn't sure how long ago I had first seen it. It definitely made an impression.

In modern Hollywood there's generally less makeup and practical effects. Would you want fake fur and leotards in a Thundercats movie? It's about adapting the stage experience to big budget Hollywood production.
