OMG I loved reading this, it took me right back to the late 90s and a trip to see Starlight Express, quite possibly alongside a meal at the Capital Radio Cafe Leicester Square (such a treat). I only remember the total madness and wanting to be Pearl. I think my sister and I often duetted as Rusty and Pearl on long car journeys 😆 feeling very inspired to listen to the soundtrack right now and to indeed go and relive this show in 2024! xx
So glad it brought back happy memories! This sounds like my sister and I with Cats, prancing around on the furniture like Mungojerry and Rumpleteaser 😃 I can't recommend going enough, a real treat
I saw it as a kid and I LOVED it. We played the cd so much I can still recite most of the songs. I went through a nasty breakup nearly 25 years after seeing this musical and my brain went 'I've been U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.Deeeeeee'. Starlight Express forever - whatever it is, who cares! Now I'm wondering whether I should or should not go and see it a seoncd time
I really recommend going! I reckon you'll enjoy it even more if you liked it the first time. And from what I understand they've updated a lot of things so plenty new stuff to enjoy
This piece was such a wild and fun ride. I've never heard of this campy musical but it sounds like a trip! I have myself always held a grudge against ALW but simply because the fictional Broadway producer in The Nanny - one of my all time favorite shows - has a grudge against him!
My main grudge is him flying from NY to London to vote to cut tax credit for low-paid workers. But I also think his music is basic, so any level of grudge against him is fine by me!

(that said, this show is bonkers in such a great way)
