@ ok I believe thats partly true. Starlight Express was always supposed to be the dream of a kid (wasnt it?). I thought they used Stilgoes voice in the previews, because it were the previews and the show could still change a lot. And then they would have to do new recordings with the kid. Thats my explanation - without having any sources. But I can try to reach out to ALW and his Team and ask him. :D
@ Well, that was the plot later on I believe! I say this because Stilgoe also was Control in the 83 workshop! I’m pretty sure that the whole child aspect was added after previews as far as I remember! Again, I’d have to double check but I believe that’s the story.
@@ThatStarlightChannel Well, in all the lore of the musical that I know, I haven't heard if that's true or not. Most of the behind the scenes lore I know is what inspired Webber to make it
No way Richard Stilgoe voiced Control!!😮 really?! Thats really cool! The Lyricist of the whole show voiced the kid in the previews - I love it.
Yes! Before they decided that they wanted Control to be a kid, they had Stilgoe voice him!
