    can you imagine flipping to this randomly on the tv with absolutely no context lol

    you can always find Todd Lester, just by looking for his split trick. I've seen him do it as Flat-Top, Caboose (the one I think is the most iconic), and now as a gang member!

    I'm so glad to find out this really was broadcast on television and it was not some fever dream I had in the 80s.

    I saw Starlight Express on Broadway in the summer of 1987. What a great memory!

    Thankyou so much for uploading this! I've so been wanting to see Robert Torti in action as Greaseball, and this completely made my day. I can't believe they still did all the stunts in the choreography for this performance - somewhere they wouldn't have been used to performing, and not in the controlled environment of the theatre. I am blown away. Wow!

      Apparently this theater's environment was anything but controlled! So I understand completely how they could be performing elsewhere so easily.

    In this song, the Roland D-50 internal patch “Horn Section” is/was heard.

    Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing this in November 1987. I recorded it on my VCR recorder. Lots of memories from then watching this thirty years ago.

      @@PapaLobo94it’s been on for a while now and it’s terrible everything that made the original show the amazing spectacle it was is gone. The plot and characters have been changed drastically and not completely for the worst to be fair but the costumes look like nightmare transformers and not good. The set is very small and at times feels cramped and just not very like the original making the races seem strange. The cast however are all incredible and mostly new talent in their first show I’ve seen it twice and they all have definitely grown in confidence but it still feels a shell of what it should be. The staging is at times interesting and has a few moments of surprise but not enough. I really miss the different track levels but with this venue it really isn’t possible to do I am glad though that a new generation has the opportunity to fall in love with it in their own way but it will never compare with the original.

      My thinking is because it's the opening song

    • @RazorRevenge
      @RazorRevenge Год назад +11

      It’s the opening number, but usually broadway shows do their best songs on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade/Tony’s/TV appearances.
      But a lot of shows will do their opening number. Some I can think of off the top of my head are
      The Book of Mormon- Hello,
      The Addams Family Musical- When You’re An Addams
      The Lion King- The Circle Of Life
      Spring Awakening- Mama Who Bore Me
      Hamilton- Alexander Hamilton
      A lot of shows will choose their opening number as it typically has the whole cast in it to show off and there are usually no major spoilers that could give away too much of the plot of the show.
