They do but unfortunately they're not as distinctive as the ye olde ones. 😢

Spot on. It would be financially ruinous to mount the original staging these days. Enjoy this for what it is - seen with fresh eyes, it is magical in its own way.

Couldn't agree more

🤞🤞🤞

We sat in the back row. Get to see everything in that back section. In the front sections you are closer to the main centre stage, but miss things that go on behind you. My friend & I both thought that seats 2 or 3 rows from the front of the back section probably would have been best.

Easily the best skater in the show!

For sure

My favorite character. When I went to see and I noticed this in other mega mixes posted. He doesn't sing solo anymore when he comes out. They all sing the hydrogen theme.

@@richardxs1 He doesn't need the others he's strong enough solo

@@TheDivineLordOfChaos I agree, I can't remember whether it was just the megamix or not I'm sure he sang it solo during. Maybe because he's doing his tricks at the end. A very talented skater

Fingers crossed!

I'm sure choo will love it 😅

@@walkwithme9051 🤣🤣🤣

Oops!😂

Hope you enjoy it!

Mine was the spelling song lol

@@walkwithme9051 I did like that one

Sending a huge hug!

The Starlight Express sequence with Momma must have been extra poignant x

Thank You So Much it means the world to me.​@@TheDreamDebut

Sorry for your loss. Stay strong ❤

Sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mum. Prayers for you and your Family. ❤

It's wonderful that we can cherish the old memories but also acknowledge a new generation 😊

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it :-)

I think it was just called "First Class Carriage". It's basically what used to be the paddock.

@@walkwithme9051 yeah, they are the First Class Carriage, but they have numbers from 1-4

I think it was 3. I'm afraid I've disposed of the tickets now

Ironically, the trains have been cancelled left right and centre today, and we are struggling to get back to Dorset. The show was fantastic 👏

Your Loss, no-one else's. It was Fantastic n leaves you wiv the Feel Good Factor. Amazing. Always will be. 😂😂🎉

The set is smaller and there is no hydraulic bridge 😢. But the audience were closer to the actors and more involved so it was more intimate. To get to most seats you have to cross the track. They allowed me to stand in the set to take photos which was very kind. It's very very different from the Apollo but still magical in a different way.

Very Very true should be like bochum and the costumes are poop lol

Maybe I'm just being a bit real-ale about it, but this doesn't look like Starlight to me. The book definitely needed work, but I'm really not a fan of how this looks.

A lot of people don’t like the new costumes but I personally love them! Dinah looks like a diner instead of a waitress and I much prefer that to be honest!

Blue and red costume (with checks). Red hair. She’s absolutely amazing too!

@@finalfightguy ok thanks when I first saw the megamix I guessed already who rusty pearl moma greaseball Electra I was thinking Dinah was the purple but thank you for pointing it out for me when I see it live been waiting along time

Overall yes. I will always have very fond memories of the original as well as the Bochum production (which thankfully we can still always revisit) but this was a fun reimagining. Great for kids too.

@@walkwithme9051 thanks for responding. I’m booking tickets for January.

They do but it's not really a feature of the costume like ye olde version.

They do have helmets. They are really cool, but not shaped like trains as in previous productions. An observation: the performers in this production seem to have less make up too which really allows you to see their surprisingly solid acting. It’s beautifully done.

@@finalfightguy well that explains some stuff now, i was wondering if they did keep the helmets, but that answers that question lol, a shame they're not the train shaped ones, but still cool nonetheless.

I believe the costumes were designed by the same person who did SIx so you can see the similarities.

I agree totally ! I was really looking forward to seeing Starlight again (I saw it 12 times at the apollo Victoria. This venue looks far too small for the production, a large theatre like the Apollo is needed. And were is the bridge????? I was prepared to see this multiple times but after seeing these clips its not worth my train fare to London to watch a cheap version of a masterpiece

It’s almost like it’s for a new generation of theatre lovers, art changes

The music is still there and I'm sure you were in the London nd bochum production with my uncle Darren ridley he said the Japan nd Australia pro was ment to be brilliant why can't they bring bk the old costumes music nd nd have it in an arena?

A female greaseball ? …. I can’t even 🤦‍♂️

@@joffajon oh well, Nevermind, we won't lose any sleep over U not going to see it. Ok.

Not only that, but we also need this whole thing on DVD.

@@genreproductions2706a DVD for at home indeed, I’m not gonna fly to London for this 😢. Was hoping for a spectacular revival, but this looks like a cruiseship show. With a Greaseball understudy, she really looks and sounds bad 🫤

Based on some pictures ive seen on Instagram it certainly looks as though the cast have been in a studio at some point. Im just crossing my fingers it was for a cast recording and not something else show related

Yes I thought that was lovely too

Yup!

Just for this production. See her flex her delts and pecs.....really?

@@Xfactories Delts and peches, more like!

Women still have muscles

I agree about the costumes. I don’t know who the characters are either. However I’m guessing if you watch the whole show you would as they still get introduced?

They ARE and they enforce it STRONGLY right up until until this megamix at the end, then you are free to take photos or videos 🙂

You are positively encouraged to film the megamix by the ushers. No regulations were broken 😊

@@walkwithme9051 ❤

Same at Six. You are allowed to film the end bit.

@@JoshFreilich You are of course 100% entitled to that opinion but most of us will I feel choose be guided by the rules made by the people who own/run the show like Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and the theatre management. Their show, their choice!

Just go with an open mind. There is lots of nostalgia to enjoy 😊

I think this is pretty much it. It's about the same as the Bochum production. I think the Megamix or whatever you want to call it is a big crowdpleaser, allows us to sing and dance along and to come out humming the tunes and buy the merch lol. It worked for Joseph and it certainly works for Starlight.

@@walkwithme9051 but the other *megamixes* seemed to give a brief recap (or focus) for almost every character (not just some) and their corresponding musical number and kind of acts as a way for the audience to give them each a separate ovation.... Ya know what I mean?

I don't remember the Bochum production doing that to any meaningful degree 🤔

@@walkwithme9051 They also let you film it 🙂

Are you referring to Six's megamix? I think they're the one only one's who do that type of thing. A megamix is most literally a medley
