2:55 is one of the greatest moments in theatre history caught on film. Both actors singing for their lives, with that swell from the orchestra followed by a triumphant applause from the audience. Exquisite musical theatre.
I saw a tour of this and absolutely loved it. I don't need to see real trains. I need to see magic and hope and love and songs and that's what this is.
Steve Fowler has a powerful voice, and i should know because I've known him since I was 3!!!!! My family lived next door to him and he was always singing.
I saw this show in London when I was 9 back in 1990. I came out and burst into tears as I had never experienced such happy emotions before. This show has stuck with me forever. The music and cast are simply incredible.
I saw Starlight in London in 198? when i was 7 years old. I'll never forget the experience. Pure magic. Still to this day, I know every word from the show and I'm 46. Fell in love with musical theater that night
I see this again in 10 days and literally weeing myself. Such fond memories of this show since being a kid. My school put on this show and I was a train.
This is impressive for the simple fact that this show is the ONLY ONE in the ENTIRE WORLD thats done ENTIRELY on ROLLER SKATES! Phenomenal honestly i cant reccomend this musical enough look past the personification of the locomotives and youll actually enjoy it dont let something slightly out the ordinary stop you from depriving yourself of a once in a lifetime musical!
@@Lbh55 Yes! They've replaced it with a song called I Do in the currently running production in Bochum. It's not terrible, but nothing can match Only He/You at all.
I didn't know that Paul Nicholas ( Jesus Christ superstar )wrote the lyrics to the starlight express song. Now that's talent. But he is anyway. Underrated and very talented.

I can’t believe Greg Mowry wasn’t in anything else on Broadway he is incredible
Neither can I! His voice is phenomenal!!

I could listen to Steve Fowler all night, wish I was his neighbour.
One of the wildest experiences I have ever had in a theater, was Starlight Express. Such great music and such energy

Some people’s life’s are such a trip

MY FAVOURITE RUSTY!!!
Came here to.make fun of it. Left impressed. Hats off. What a show!!
I love Greg Mowry and Steve Fowler.
I was obsessed with this.
0:24 - The Starlight Sequence (I Am the Starlight)
3:18 - Light at the End of the Tunnel
Holy hell... the Predator DOES look like a starlight express reject!
Predator?
They must present also "Only You". It might help them to win more than 1 awards
They took Only You out of the show! That was the best thing in it!
@@Lbh55 Yes! They've replaced it with a song called I Do in the currently running production in Bochum. It's not terrible, but nothing can match Only He/You at all.
@@finleyforevermore see the Michael Crawford version it’s good
@@Lbh55 I am interested in making an animated adaptation of this show one day. And if I do, I will put Only You in it.
Superb!!!!
I adore this - thank you! What talents.
Thanks for sharing! Love this performance.
Oooooohhhh wow!
GOOSEBUMPS!!!!
Another thing I wanted to know is why there wasn't an album of the original Broadway cast?
Honestly my question too! So many talented people and yet no cast album
I never understood this musical. I mean they never really looked like trains at all to me. Just people skating around with like metal armor.
Right, they should’ve hired actual trains to sing the songs
Cue "Thomas the Tank Engine"...
@@darkmynx1 ironically ALW wanted to make a Thomas the tank engine musical and was turned down. We got Starlight Express instead
@@ZoeKitten84 I love ALW & his work, but I can't picture how that would work. Thomas & ALW doesn't seem like it'd be a good match.
Wait, they’re supposed to be trains? I thought this was just some fucked up apocalyptic future.
I didn't know that Paul Nicholas ( Jesus Christ superstar )wrote the lyrics to the starlight express song. Now that's talent.
But he is anyway. Underrated and very talented.
He didnt
@@LisalovesTheandMCR i read the notice wrongly.
He does sing it on a cd. Sorry.
Still great voice.
naur it's richard stilgoe
4:57 is that Jane Krakowski? I had no idea she was in this.
That is indeed Jane Krakowski! www.playbill.com/person/jane-krakowski-vault-0000060721
nuh uh
❤️❤️❤️
Who is the CB?
Barry Bernal is CB.
Was this filmed in two different locations? Because it seemed like they switched stages during the "I am you".
They used to do that a lot... Mix a pre-taped package with a short, live performance.
@@gjm2669 You actually played Rusty or some other train in the show?!!? You must've been very lucky.
@@gjm2669 Lucky you. Also, I would like to make a film adaptation of this show someday. I think my vision of it will be something to look forward to.
Hey!
Can we use the Light at the End of the Tunnel part?
no
I would really like to see this musical in its original form without the changes that have been made over the years
Jones Cynthia Garcia Mark Moore Kenneth
i would disown my dad for adding the rap number
That one episode when Thomas took acid
My cousin was in this died of aids RIP
Usher at the superbowl
Reno 911 brought me here...
Too bad this show single handedly could refund its self with how much its insurance paid for injuries.
lame, when does Mr mistoohelees and rum tum fight the starlight express
Opera Phantom Yes, Cats Yes, Jesus Yes, Rainbow Coats Yes, People as Trains on roller skates NO
👁👄👁
One show i had no interest in
Omg, this is terrible!!
ikr
Nuh uh
And we love it
It’s has its cons. But mostly pros in my eyes :)
What a train wreck
Awe Angela Lansbury...you just want her to sing Beauty and the Beast 😅
