All of the trains are actually a young boys toys. The idea of the show is that it’s a dream the boy has when he goes to bed. It’s addressed in the beginning. It sets the tone for the play and allows you to get past the biases that Dandelion, the other commenter seems to have. It’s a phenomenal play that touches on how amazing and vivid a child’s imagination can be. I saw this live in Las Vegas as a kid and fell in love with it. To be fair I loved Cats as well. 🤷♂️
Brian I saw the original in London in 1986, it was amazing. Granted, I’m a ALW fan. The NY Broadway version wasn’t up to my memory of the original, and most here on RUclips don’t either.
I came here to understand the family guy joke. Now that I'm here I'm laughing cause his outfit is kind of badass. Like steam punk sci-fi armor but the music is so soft
The characters are toy trains and part of the performance is a "kid" zipping them around the stage. This song is basically about one of the toys wondering if there is a God. They probably think the kid who plays with them is their god or something.
Starlight Express is one of my very favorite musicals. It's so close to my heart. Such an honor to read your comment and feel so close to a star who made this musical what it is. Thank you and your brother. He's among the stars now✨
Well i mean, Cats is about a cat cult. Starlight Express is about an autistic boy dreaming about a bunch of trains from all over the world competing in a race. Your pick which ones weirder.
I feel really mean because the actor's pouring his heart out and I'm sat here giggling at what they did to his costume and the look in his eyes. this was the version of Starlight that I saw in the Princess Theater in Febuary 2013.
Professionals do what professionals do whether the material they're working with is credible or shitty. Don't ever be confused by the assumption that just because something had a ton of money dumped into it that it's something wrong with you that it comes off as corny and stupid.
I saw this play, over 30 years ago, when I lived in England. My second, or third grade class went to see it in London. I don't remember anything about the play; but this song stuck with me.
Apparently it was a combination of being asked to compose a version of Cinderella where the Prince was going to hold a competition to see which engine would lead the royal train and Cinderella and the step sisters were engines, ALW wanting to adapt Thomas the Tank Engine to an animated series, and him writing a song specifically for Earl Jones who could sing three notes at once (Engine Of Love). And probably cocaine.
He did it for his child I think, he said can you make a musical of Thomas the train so he wanted to make his wishes come true and he made starlight express
Kristopher Harding will always be my rusty saw him three times in the role as rusty and blew me away every-time especially when he sings this song in the show
This is my favourite musical of all time! I first saw it when I was 5 with my mum and grandmother (saw it 28 times in total) the last time was taking my own 5 year old along with my mum and grandmother again, my mum died suddenly 22 days later so this day with 4 generations is extremely close to my heart 💕
Dude, you do realize that the Original Cast fought for years to get Hazard Pay for this, right? Almost every show, there was some injury or another. Expecting a HS musical theatre troupe to do this would be CATASTROPHIC.
I think there should be a movie adaptation of this musical. Since the characters are actually toy trains, there are ways to make it work & not end up like what happened to "Cats 2019" 😖: 1.) Make the perspectives of how the characters are alive/portrayed like the Lego figures from the Lego movies. To us in the real world, they are toy trains. But in the trains' world, they are more like Transformers robot people. 2.) To add more world building, let's say that the so-called Starlight Express that Rusty has being praying & hoping to find is actually a big toy train set that the Controller (the owner of those toy trains) always wanted, but to the trains, it's a mythical utopian place where trains old & new can go railing in outer space. 3.) The physical face of the Starlight Express engine that Rusty interacts with is actually the face of the Controller's grandfather, who was the original owner of Rusty, his "parents" (yes both Poppa and Momma are in it together), and his hometown/station set. 4.) Use both practical & digital effects (mostly for the set pieces & lighting).
@@ijustlikebees I live in Toronto Canada, and we got the show for a limited run. We found it sensational! Very well done..Of course it was very technical and yes..everyone was on roller skates in their LED lit costumes s. It was a costly venture for the theater as well because they removed the first few rows of orchestra seats and built a sort of U shaped runway..and sometimes the "trains" would leave the stage proper and roar down this runway sometimes 5 or more at a time....It was breathtakingly glorious entertainment...The singing and lighting effects were outstanding even by today's standards.....A very underappreciated Webber production to be sure...I'm 85yrs old and remember this as if it were yesterday....Now I have to go and find my cd's.....and remember some more......
I came here from tumblr after someone proposed a cars musical but done in the treatment of cats and somehow the discussion went ended up me learning about starlight express.

So yea, y'all need to stop saying Cats is the worst ALW musical. In fact, this wasn't isn't even the worst. it's the second worst. Nothing will ever be as terrible as Love Never Dies
This was one of the first Lloyd-Webber musicals I saw after Phantom - I took my very young children and we saw it several times and still love it - any child would and I'm only 72.

For all the people laughing in the comments about "family guy", yeah it was funny family guy reference it, I laughed. But really this whole musical was choreographed on roller skates, that's hella hard since most dancers/singers don't have to think about doing it on roller skates. Then there's the joke about it being trains. It's based on the child having a dream about his toy trains, so how else do you get anything that comes close to the motion of trains on a stage by actors? The storyline and theatrics is far better than CATS. I would say the only problem with this musical is some of the songs are very dated for the 80s but trying to be "futuristic", like with the train Electra. Appreciate the hard work that went into pulling this play off the no other plays are like.
i saw it once in 1995 london, then 2024 london then coming back to 2024 london. It's insane, especially the new one (sadly less roller, much more visual effects.... for now ;) ;) )
I've only heard the music from this on the ALW greatest hits from the nineties. I had no idea the musical involved human trains on roller skates. The more you know! 🌈🌈
Someone told me there was a musical where all the actors play trains and they're all on roller skates. I didn't believe it. Wow.
Brian my mum fucking hates this musical and she seen it. She said that she rather watch the emoji movie than this

*no I'm not confused and crying a bit from a musical about trains*
cause its amazing
It's the only musical that makes me cry (and I love musicals).
César Hernández-Meraz Honestly, this is probably one of ALW’s best works. The music is phenomenal.
I used to be so obsessed with this musical it was insane
My late brother, he died of AIDS in 1994, worked in wardrobe on Starlight Express. So cool to see this clip! Makes me think of him
My he rest in peace. It was very sad that AIDs affected the LGBT community. Howard Ashman, and Richard Hunt are gay men who died of AIDs.
@@nicholasdruce5346 such a loss of a great community of people.

Saw this not long after my mum died , my dad took me to see it in london WoW still takes me back there now and its been 30 years since .Xx
Andrew had a way of throwing a ton of whimsy into concepts that seemed to fantastical on paper. Beautiful.
I think Richard Stilgoe is the REAL person behind this great story ... 💟💟
I’m here because I was wondering if it could get weirder than Cats the movie. I think it can.
Well i mean, Cats is about a cat cult. Starlight Express is about an autistic boy dreaming about a bunch of trains from all over the world competing in a race. Your pick which ones weirder.

I never paid attention to it, but it really is weird 😖
OMG YOU TOO!?
Yo

Omg me
I saw this play, over 30 years ago, when I lived in England. My second, or third grade class went to see it in London. I don't remember anything about the play; but this song stuck with me.
I have no idea what’s going on, but his enthusiasm and hopefulness in his voice and face makes me happy
This song came on in barns and nobles and I was so confused
😂
Saw the show in LONDON years ago, amazing! Loved it 🤩🤩
Andrew Lloyd Webber is such an absurd hack it's actually extremely impressive how confident he is. And that his work is so successful.
What the hell was Andrew Webber snorting when he made this 😂
Apparently it was a combination of being asked to compose a version of Cinderella where the Prince was going to hold a competition to see which engine would lead the royal train and Cinderella and the step sisters were engines, ALW wanting to adapt Thomas the Tank Engine to an animated series, and him writing a song specifically for Earl Jones who could sing three notes at once (Engine Of Love).
And probably cocaine.
Oh sure, Pixar makes a movie about talking cars but a musical about singing trains is a bridge too far 🤣
He did it for his child I think, he said can you make a musical of Thomas the train so he wanted to make his wishes come true and he made starlight express
Massive cocaine bender?

Usher and the #SuperBowl got me here in 2024😂
How did I not know this existed? This is now my religion.
as it should be son.
As it should be, the musical is amazing!
They even do american shows every once in a while in the theater
Always has been
Such an 80s musical with a very rich history.
Aww, he's the first Rusty I ever saw! Still think he's pretty good.
Kristopher Harding will always be my rusty saw him three times in the role as rusty and blew me away every-time especially when he sings this song in the show
I’ll seconds you on that one
has NO ONE posted about him going crazy from 1:32-1:57? What the heck is going through his mind! The side to side looks are my favorite.
I thought he was about to spaz out
He’s a train, after all! 😂
omg i noticed that LOL
Literally the best part of the whole performance.
@@Shellshockstunts "literally"
I didn't know that Megaman sang like an angel
My favourite musical of all time. Saw the original at Victoria Apollo
Family Guy brought me here how about you?
STARLIGHT EXPRESS! STARLIGHT EXPRESS! STARLIGHT EXPRESS!
starlight express.. >:(
*throws helmet down*
*skates off*
*STARLIGHT EXPRESS*
That’s literally the only reason I know about this
I think is the best song out of starlight express
ONE OF THE BEST MUSICALS AND ONE OF THE HARDEST TO PERFORM ON STAGE
Peter Griffin did it better
Yeah
kevin koehler did it better.
hot4crocs Greg Ellis will always be Rusty!
Polina yes
This is my favourite musical of all time! I first saw it when I was 5 with my mum and grandmother (saw it 28 times in total) the last time was taking my own 5 year old along with my mum and grandmother again, my mum died suddenly 22 days later so this day with 4 generations is extremely close to my heart 💕
Thats...a lot sorry for your loss but an awesome memory after😢
Saw it twice when it played in Vegas. Loved it🙂
Thomas The Tank Engine sure is looking strange.
In all seriousness, this should be a movie
Who else came here because Peter Griffin from Family guy wouldn't stop shouting "Starlight express!!"
My favorite Rusty!
The context of the musical aside
This song is gorgeous
Hopefully it's not getting a film adaptation
I hope it is. The chaos would be amazing
I really hope it does they could be like transformers
My favourite actor to portray rusty kris Harding is such a sweetie he was lovely when I met him back in 2012
Jealous
Be honest, who is here because they watched family guy?? If you're not....how you found out about this I will never know, wtf is this???
Rusty and
Skimbleshanks would be best friends
This supposed to be based on Thomas the Tank Engine
wtf is going on

Horny train is praying to Train God so he can bang a hot carriage car
Heard this was based of Thomas the train
i been to see it. so much heart in this song.
there’s a rumor that this will be my school’s spring musical..
Well was it? Because any school that does this show would be extremely bold.
Was it?
Dude, you do realize that the Original Cast fought for years to get Hazard Pay for this, right? Almost every show, there was some injury or another. Expecting a HS musical theatre troupe to do this would be CATASTROPHIC.
Same and I’m terrified to perform on skates
Aargghhh soooo beautifully sung! Sublime 🎉
