You should see the film version of Les mis.It is good and it does clear up some points that the stage version got wrong in my mind but it does have some flaws but if you can get around those you may well enjoy it

Cats is a bit sterile on dvd and also its a shame its not the complete show
I am not not sure on that version of WDTW.I just have it on a list with some things like the US tour of the Titanic musical which i found so Whistle should have been with that dvd in a box and it wasnt
