The stage and set of Starlight Express on broadway at the Gershwin Theater was HUGE. It had three levels and massive hydraulic bridges. It was so big that the full, live, orchestra had to be on the 3 floor back stage of the Gershwin Theater. They front of the stage went right into the audience and we were literally skating over peoples heads every single night. The broadway set was spectacular in everyway. John Napier should have been nominated for a Tony Award for his set design
This is the closing night of Starlight Express at the Gershwin Theater in New York City. There was a full orchestra along with 3 or 4 booth singers on the 3rd floor every single night. The booth singers were added just to sweetin the sound a bit for the ensemble numbers and some harmony over Reva Rice's (Pearl) song, "Make Up My Heart." Each one of us had a small body mic that went over our heads, through our hair to our forehead. EVERYTHING was live except for the young boys voice.
Anyone (like down below) would compare this to a freaking cartoon clearly has no life what so ever. Such a shame. Family Guy is a fucking cartoon! This isn't stop comparing! Great footage by the way. Gonna audition for a production of this next year, can't wait!
Now here's another thing that bugs me, maybe even more than Family Guy people, why is there a point to compare every production of Starlight with German production. Yes it is the longest running Starlight but I think most people forget that yes the show did came from London but most of that material came from THIS version. Big fan don't care which version is better.
that is AWESOME! did you get to meet andrew lloyd weber and see this show on opening night! i want to see this show sooooooo bad. and i want to see it the way it was suppose to be done, with the track that goes to the mezzanine!
Listen, starlight Express is not gay its amazing. If you dont like it then don't watch the vid. IFamily Guy is just a stupid cartoon not a world famous musical that some people (me) are obsessed with.

Hi. Was the stage of the Gershwin removed or built over with the Starlight set? Great show.
I think this set has the most bridges out of any production lol
I wholeheartedly agree with you! A Starligtht Express DVD is long overdue!

did you perform here?
@@southvale Yes! He's Greg Mowry, who plays Rusty, the lead character!
@@finleyforevermore !!! WOW 💖💖💖💖 oh that's so cool!!!!!! thank you!!!
Starlight would be loads of fun to do, although difficult to stage. Andrew never ceases to amaze me.
I was the head scenic artist on this production but have no photos of the set :( .
Thanks for posting this on TH-cam. It was the most magnificent set
You cast members are amazing. This is a privilege show to be in.
This is so good! They should make starlight a movie!
I agree ☝️ with you. And have the characters as actual trains 🚂.
@@cameronknapp7315 okay that'll be weird
the 80's were fantastic
Greg vocal range and sustain is fantastic. All Rusty's should have the same tbh

WoW. What an amazing bridge!
my dad directed this badboy and i used to muck around on the set with my fisher price rollers!
I wish they would revive this on Broadway. I would love to stage manage it.
Dude, shut up. Your dad is not Trevor Nunn. Lmao
Oh gotta love the sirens 1:46
anyone think they'll come back to the US any time for another performance?
in the words of Elektra
" clear my track you had your last chance yeah, I'll find another track no come back!"
"Keep it moving like Starlight Express, Buck em down space tech banana clip"
You are my new hero.
This video is amazing!

It is from Broadway, closing night
I just can say come to Germany Bocjum and take a look for the Starlight Express Musical much more action and faster.
