While the big-screen adaptation of his musical Cats may not quite have landed on all four feet, Andrew Lloyd Webber is moving on with his next major project.

The contemporary take on the classic fairy tale is based on an original idea by Emerald Fennell, the Emmy-nominated lead scriptwriter on Killing Eve's second season, with a new score from Lloyd Webber and lyrics by David Zippel, whose work has included Broadway productions such as City of Angels, The Goodbye Girl, Lloyd Webber's The Woman in White and Disney animations Hercules and Mulan.
