Now that is how to do a theatre trailer. Sounds good. Looks good. And feels like it should. Starlight Express is and always has been a great first musical for children and adults of every age!!
It's so great to finally have professional footage of this show! 😀 I saw it again last night, for my fourth time! It's such a LOUD and COLOURFUL show, that truly radiates positive energy! 🌈 The show (the track, the cast, the lighting, the sound) completely surround you 360˚, so you really do feel immersed in the action. The races in particular are very exciting and great fun to join in with (lots of clapping and cheering). The cast last night gave it 110% with tons of energy, really strong vocals and lots of funny bits. 💖
I was guttered when the original show closed & I hadn't got to see it. When I saw it was back for a limited time only. I was on it & booking 2 tickets. My son came with me & he went in blind. All he knew that they were on roller skates & skated in between the audience as they performed the show. He really enjoyed it. 😊 I loved it! ❤ We had good seats which viewed it all. Well done to all the skaters for excellent performance. All costumes were brilliant. The show has become so popular that it's been extended. If you can go & see it do so. The programme books are £15. Good quality book and is well worth it for my keepsake memories of the show. 😊
I saw the show and it was the best musical I have ever seen (I have seen a lot of musicals). I have been asking my mum to go see it again since I saw it.
I have heard from people who have been that this is amazing, even if, sadly, the Only You/He song is not part of it. That was my favourite song from the original production.
As someone from Germany who went to the musical in Bochum yesterday: IT WAS AMAZING 100/10 ✨🎀 The songs were super cool and the light shows definitely were an Highlight!!! Starlight Express should be considered the best musical on this Planet! 🤩 I‘ll definetly visit London sometime to go see the English version!!! 🚂⚡️
Cute. Obviously a technical glitch - typed it once but it didnt print on my so typed it again... I saw a lot of Musicals and plays and other shows ..this is far from being the best one in my opinion. You love it, great for you but saying it's the best in the world when you have obv.no idea of what's in the world is nonsense.
One positive thing about the new costumes. The helmets the actors wear during the races no longer look like the front of the locomotives they are suppose to represent and thus no longer obscure their eyesight.
I really want a movie adaptation of this musical hopefully My idea would be an animated movie instead of that disastrous version of Cats with speaking dialogue
@@nerdknight111 Peter Griffin’s version is better than this hot mess. At least it resembles Starlight - I have no idea what this pile of crap is meant to be…
@@nerdknight111 he really did. After 32 years of following the show, I just got tired of all the unnecessary (and crap) changes. The 2018 Bochum changes were bad enough, but this show is something else entirely. I refuse to spend another penny on it, and I’ve spent a LOT of money on it over the years. And Bobby Hill couldn’t top Peter’s legendary performance…🧐
I must say we had access tickets we were taking an Autistic child to the show we were not made aware how loud the music was going to be or the strobe lighting. Please be aware of this as some children or even adults like myself could have problems with the loud music, some children had to leave the show due to the volume of music. I hope,the show takes this on board!
My only beef is that everyone looks so different, like ive loved starlight express since i was a kid and i couldnt tell you half of them are based off of looks causse its all just brightly colored copy paste
Saw it..OK.but after the novelty wore off I got bored stiff 😐 very good cast though and I liked the end of the performance but too loud (no, not the rollerskating) & storyline just weird. Does the kid ever wake up? I enjoyed like 40mn off 2h20mn so ... not my fave Musical I'm afraid.
I saw Starlight in New York when it first came out and yes, it was the loudest show I have ever heard. I had to put my fingers in my eyes and it was still extremely loud. That said, I am glad I was able to see the performance.
Great show, great new songs, missed a couple of the old ones though. The Girl, Al Knott, who played Greaseball was good, but in my opinion Greaseball is a male character. As I said just my opinion.
I'm going to upset some members of the public, We went to the show near Wembley its a woke version of the original in the West End which makes a difference too...its just not as good, I suppose times as changed, how can Deisel and Rusty be played as a women? it's a masculine part ? The music is not as good as the original.....unless you seen the original show you wouldn't know.....
@mrjohncharlesbrown hate to break it to you.. lesbians exist. a character cannot be a "masculine part" for it is simply that, a made-up character. times change, and so do scripts. it is really not the end of the world.. they're trains, for fucks sake
@ just watch the original show boys meet girls. Nothing wrong with being gay I am. I just don’t like the concept of a diesel lesbian train I find it a bit stereotypical
@@grayr5817 have seen it. Doesn’t fit the word woke and you need to look it up. It’s a train not a male or female it is just a character/thing played by a person. The only gendered characters is the child, parent and Poppa which in this production is changed to Momma. Do you have a problem changing Poppa and Momma around?
Actually see it live on Stage! You’ll change your mindset about everything. This doesn’t do it justice in every way possible because Al knott plays Greaseball and she has a fantastic voice!
@@k.reina0 He is entitle to his opinion and I agree the new show crap, this trailer has made it worse. No I haven't live and don't want too. Please respect people who dislike it as not everyone does and we are all entitled to say so!
Nice one Richard I am with you. Not being sexiest, but she in my opinion can't sing. The guy who plays Rusty can't sing either. When I say can't sing I mean to a professional standard. Makes me laugh when people comment saying "you go do it then..." I know I can't sing, but there are better singers out there.
This had better be on DVD soon!
Don't you mean streaming?
@bronypony3091, it depends on the streaming service
No chance
They won’t
@@chrisluff8875 then DVD will be more unlikely
I’m honestly shocked they haven’t done a professionally shot version sooner.
Now that is how to do a theatre trailer. Sounds good. Looks good. And feels like it should.
Starlight Express is and always has been a great first musical for children and adults of every age!!
My grandsons 3 and 6 love it the 3 year old knows all the songs off to see it with them on Feb 19th they are so excited as am i.
Holy crap, take me back here! This trailer made me miss it so bad. That Pumping Iron sounds CLEANNNN!
Was that version of Hydrogen during the Megamix?
@@nerdknight111probably as it’s in a higher pitch than the one on the cast album
Please bring this show to the US! Please! I'm begging you

The best musical on this planet? What are you? 12 or with 0 knowledge of the world?

@@CaT-gb1xv Okay. Sorry I considered it the ,best” on the planet. Didn’t want to start an argument! Have a good day/night!! :D
We need this show to come back in the USA!
I want this to become a movie. And I want it directed by Britt Allcroft!
Many times I've seen artwork online where someone wants a Don Bluth style animated movie
I’m so obsessed with this
One positive thing about the new costumes. The helmets the actors wear during the races no longer look like the front of the locomotives they are suppose to represent and thus no longer obscure their eyesight.
I went to see that show in August of this year, and I can describe it in one word. EPIC! Oh, I wish it would come to Dublin someday 😅🚂🎭
MUSICAL OF THE YEAR!
BETTER BE A PRO-SHOT
It’s not sadly, I saw on tiktok that a producer(?) said they made the shots specifically for a trailer :(
Nope
Cannot wait to see this version of Starlight Express.
Starlight Express! Starlight Express! Starlight Express!
Would love a pro shot of this - saw this two days ago and was blown away! Excellent production!!!!
LOVE STARLIGHT EXPRESS 💖🤩🎶🌟
This IS NOT Starlight Express. Just another modern abomination.
@@armesisp3201totally agree. This is a different show entirely. They should’ve called it something else, ‘cos it ain’t Starlight Express!
Come to Oz please. I saw you at Apollo Victoria and Nottingham and would love to see it again x
Such a great show
Such a WOKE SHOW.
@@armesisp3201mate, in the 80s Electra is bisexual (still is) . If you think it's woke now? That's hilarious
Hell yeah 😎 ❤
I really want a movie adaptation of this musical hopefully
My idea would be an animated movie instead of that disastrous version of Cats with speaking dialogue
At one point, people wanted it to be animated by Don Bluth
0:36, I NEED the rest of the song
It’s coming on the 8th of November!
@@WhatTheWorld_NeedsI've got my calendar marked
Please release the pro shot I beg of you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
SO AMAZING🤩🤩
The things I would do to see this musical but I’m all the way in AMERICA GOD DAMNIT😭😭😭
Really wish they could’ve flown out Peter Griffin to reprise his role in this English version of the show. Just isn’t the same without him.
I'm pretty sure Mr Webber put him on the "Do Not Cast" list
He had some disagreements with him over his performance of the namesake song
@@nerdknight111 Peter Griffin’s version is better than this hot mess. At least it resembles Starlight - I have no idea what this pile of crap is meant to be…
@@Simulacra719 He deviated too much from the source material
He was replaced in subsequent performances by Bobby Hill

MUSICAL OF THE YEARRR
No.
@armesisp3201 Yes.
100% yes - excellent production! Def the best thing I’ve seen this year - hoping to get back to see

@@armesisp3201Too bad it won all 9 nominations at the WOSA awards and was the most voted, stay mad 💀
Yes
tiktok gives me hope i might see this one day lol
Sooo… gonna need a proshot
Make dinah and greaseball kiss >:) i dare you to bring it back
This show is if Jonathan Larson ever got Superbia produced lol
STARLIGHT EXPRESS STARLIGHT EXPRESS STARLIGHT EXPRESS STARLIGHT EXPRESS STARLIGHT EXPRESS STARLIGHT EXPRESS STARLIGHT EXPRESS STARLIGHT EXPRESS

Rusty is still a man??? He just has slightly longer hair….
@@mrjohncharlesbrown I’ve always wanted to say this:
_If it was woke, Greaseball would’ve won._
define 'woke' quickly. And who cares? Al Knott is a perfect Greaseball, you're missing out cause your mad she isn't 'he' anymore
@mrjohncharlesbrown hate to break it to you.. lesbians exist. a character cannot be a "masculine part" for it is simply that, a made-up character. times change, and so do scripts. it is really not the end of the world.. they're trains, for fucks sake
The only i like about the 2024 production is the orchestration of the songs.
But the costume and the changes? Meh...
Wow you can tell this was made in 2024 mainstream fashion. Gross. What a shame to the original, I won't even bother pirating it.
It’s a woke Turkey this is NOT Starlight Express
Quickly. Tell me how it's 'woke?'
🤦🏻♂️

ikr. This is garbage. Boycott.
The whole show is spoilt by the woman as Greaseball. Should never have been changed from a male role Also the women isnt a very good singer.
you go do it then richard
