AceShowbiz - Jennifer Hudson stunned theatre chain bosses at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Wednesday, April 03 when she showed up unannounced and belted out "Cats" tune "Memory".
Universal Pictures studio bosses didn't have any footage from the film to show off, so they called on the Oscar winner to impress with the song that became a massive hit for original "Cats" star Elaine Paige.

Dressed all in white, Jennifer wowed the crowd with her powerful rendition of the song, which her character, Grizabella, sings in the upcoming movie musical.
Hudson stars alongside Taylor Swift, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Idris Elba, Jason Derulo, and Rebel Wilson.
While footage from the actual "Cats" movie didn't make it to CinemaCon, Universal bosses did debut a behind-the-scenes film that included dance rehearsals.
