Like others who have commented i was worried that changes had been made and i would be disappointed,but not a chance...the new show has done the old show proud. Absolutely superb, all booked up to back for 2nd time 👍
Wow, really cool! As a german, i watched the show several times in Bochum. I enjoyed it every time, each time with some new additions/changes, as time goes on. I give high five to this megamix; very well done in translating an original to our times! (cool addition: Hydrogen). And moving the narrator on the stage is also a great idea. Thanks for sharing this vid :)
Saw this last week and it's amazing. I loved every minute. The sound was incredible. The costumes awesome. I'm a huge fan of the original, I've seen it over 30 times. (Original, 1992 remake, 2 tours in UK, and now this...... Germany soon) I was sceptical when I saw the first bits of footage, But in the theatre i was blown away. I've booked to see it 4 more times. Yes things have changed, yes, there's things I miss. Yes there's things that could have still been included, But they made up for this with lots of other fantastic moments . it's still very much Starlight Express and it's still very much a fantastic piece of theatre which I love.❤❤❤
Also, it's British theatre / pantomime tradition to boo the villain in shows geared towards families and especially young children. This actually means the actor / performer has done a magnificent job playing their character
I love how they’re incorporating modern railway industry trends in this rendition! In the original run, CB represented the trucking industry “killing” business for railways. Now, Hydra represents the new advent of hydrogen trains.
