Love this video. The algorithm brought me here, as I've been reliving childhood memories of growing up seeing the Australian tour and listening to the soundtrack. This synopsis, paired with archive imagery, is great!
I love this show so much! Its so cool and creative! I loved this short and informative documentary about this play! I wish more people will know about it!
Still my favourite show and I ended up marrying someone who worked there in the 1980’s. Shame that the German version in Bochum has been tweaked and they have got rid of Poppa and some of the key characters. They call it progress but we all know it is a huge mistake.
I practically worship ALW, and I love much of the Starlight score, but it really is just Cats on roller skates. Thanks for the great video. I’d never seen most of this!
I appreciate this video so much. Not a single rude joke or mocking comment about the show, no false information about the show or its characters, just actual facts and positivity about it! 👏🏽 ❤ Even a video about Starlight Express as a whole that I watched months ago, which is what got me interested in the show... well, I'm grateful it introduced me to it, but now as a super fan, I wouldn't watch it again. 😒
as someone growing up in the north west of germany where the theatre is located it's usual for many families to visit starlight regularly, such as fir mine. i remember the first shows ive been to and it's such a big part of my childhood. i only found out tht starlight didn't only exist in germany a few years back and ive only recently looked into it - all the different minor storyline changes, different characters and songs are fascinating. thank you for this video
Izzy, Just watched Starlight Exptess...wow! This could be a great foundation for expansion in a variety of directions for a graduate level thesis! Congrats!
This is really fascinating, thanks so much! I'm astounded that only 4 shows featured the full complete original cast. Was it seriously all due to injuries, or did someone leave early before the 6 month contracts were up? I'd love to hear more about that. (Their insurance costs must have been phenomenal!)
