If you think this stage is small, the actual one isn't much different. For those who think you're getting to see it for the first time after all these years, you're not - the new one isn't a patch on the original.
Apart from this performance and the excerpt from the new production of Oliver, the WHOLE show and irs presenters(self promoters😮😮) was ABYSMAL. UNFUNNY, UNTALENTED, SECOND RATE ACTS WHOSE ONLY CHANCE OF GETTING A GIG WAS TO DO IT FOR FREE. An insult to talented artistes/ performers of past generations. Hopefully we and the King, wont see any of them again. If I had paud for a ticket, even for the excellent cause it supports, I would feel cheated.
@bijouhodge1901 No, I can't dance on roller skates. What does my ability have to do with the fact that the new Starlight Express is clearly inferior to the original? Compare the two if you can remember the original, or find footage. The performers here are doing their best with what they've been given to work with, but several elements, including the choreography, are poor. The stage is small and restrictive with hardly any track. They can barely get up speed. The original was much more thrilling by comparison, more cohesive songs, the moving bridge, the rigorous training the performers went through. No comparison.
They all ate and KNOW it!!
I had the absolute joy of seeing Starlight Express in June at the Troubadour theatre in London. I'm 42 and I'd wanted to see it since I was 12.
I’m so proud of this unbelievable cast. I was in tears of joy watching this. Can’t wait to see the show again 🚂
I wish I had the ability to go see this. I enjoy the songs so much!
So fabulous to see you all - on such a small stage! :D You rock!
The actual stage isn't really any bigger.
3:40 the little jumps ❤❤😆
Jade sounds amazing❤
Can't wait to see this amazing show again!
Oh to be near London :(
Oooo it’s a female that’s singing that part. It was an old man last time. I still love it
So proud of jeevan

I was waiting to see Penn and Teller, they were terrible
It’s fine if you’re an Arts Ed grad watching your mates or under ten. But those who know what it once was will be disheartened.
Completely agree. Little to redeem the Troubador version. Not even in the same league as the original.
The choreography is AWFUL! so basic

Um, can you roller skate? I would like to see you dance on roller skates.
