Todd Lester is an amazing Caboose ❤❤

I wish I could’ve seen this ☹️

Thank you for the upload. I went to see this in primary school at the Apollo theatre in 1988. Gives me goosebumps still at 45 and a lovely trip down memory lane ☺️.

Not a single memorable song came out of this hot mess......

My shock when it git announced my current teacher at college was conducting this performance

Greg Mowry, the original, stayed the entire run!

The injuries were daily, it seems! So much physical activity!

damn, did they really get rid of "call me rusty" this early on??? what a shame, because so much of what you understood about his character was lost with the removal of that song :( thank you for sharing this!

I’m deffo gay-

1:26 Best part. His laugh 😂

When did they drop Whistle at Me? I'm sure it was in the version of the "New" Starlight I saw at AV in the late 90s.

45:45 the vocal cracks cute 😂

Fantastic Cast 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What a treat this was! Both seeing the Australian tour in Melbourne, and getting to relive the memories through this video.

This looks so much better than the 2024 version in London in an old TV studio. The lighting is more atmospheric and theatrical, not TV like as it appears on the YT videos currently out there.

I saw this over 20 yearsago , and it has stayed with me ever since !! - truly memorable !!! X

I have seen this show in the West End, more times than I care to count. certainly, it is the show I have seen more performances of. I work in theatre, and always knew people involved in the show, so I certainly will have seen this cast. Sadly, I can't make out who is performing here. Thank you for posting. Great memories

Saw SE very early on with Stephanie Lawrence, Michael Staniforth, PP Arnold, Lon Satton etc. Absolutely breathtaking theatre, so to see this is amazing (although by 1988 it had already been re-worked). I sat with my sister in the front row of the circle - you could feel the hydraulics raising the track barriers. The touring versions just can't capture the excitement of the races (for obvious reasons) & you miss out on that awesome piece of machinery - the bridge.

Was this too early for Greg Ellis as Rusty?

I wish for an English captions.

Upload the higher definition 1080p of Starlight Express full musical, please?

The stage is so technologically advanced for 1989 it's so amazing!

56:34 "The Red Caboose is under your bed" 😭

Amazing thank you for posting

Ah, back before they ruined it with all the awful rewrites 😭 Miss this so much 😭

Have no idea how a female greaseball is going to work but nothing is stopping me from going to see this show again. It was my adhd / autistic everything and still is to this day 40 years later

My late brother worked in wardrobe on this

It would be so nice to see the original run of 1984.

I recognize that menu in the beginning. I had that same DVD-writer/tape player in 2001. This was copied off of VHS onto DVD and then ripped from there to a computer.

5:15

Was a lotta locomotion removed at some point?

What about one for the 1984 production

I was 13 when I saw this show.....random that it popped up in my recommendations

Today, it has been twenty-two years on the dot since the original London production of Starlight Express had it's final performance. Honestly, even though I wasn't even alive yet and I was still quite young the last time the show was even in the UK, I'm glad to say that I'll be one of the younger ones to see this show this year in the new revival.

A DVD of the '84 version with Rusty Ray Shell, Pearl Stephanie Lawrence & Dinah Frances Ruffelle would be great!!! Please make one. The New Version would break my heart💔. Because I JUST PLAIN HATE IT!

Poppa having a hard time singing this show!! Ouch

My happy memories from my childhood

this is a great rcord of how the original show ran, its also a carbon copy of the Broadway version from 1987 which I had the pleasure to work for. loved watching this, lots of memories

I saw this in London on my first trip to Europe in 1997.

Since Starlight Express in London at the Apollo Victoria Theatre went under a heavy revision in November 1992, Didn't the script remain the same until closing night without any more revisions?

50:49 The "awwwww" the audience does when Dustin thinks it's his fault Poppa broke down is adorable

Un musical maravilloso,con una puesta en escena, por desgracia bastante infravalorada y si te vas fuera de su época la mayoria de gente la conoce de oidas como mucho. Necesita volver a aparecer en teatros.

So cute the Red caboose and Electra

One of my favourite shows since a kiddo. Saw this in the West End back in the 90s. And i will be re-enjoying it in Germany in October ... 35 years and the longest running musical. ❤ Rumours say it might be returning to the West End. Oh i hope so ❤

The Starlight Sequence, just wow. Greg Ellis nails it

1:29

Poor Rusty 😢

My Greaseball was Jeff Shankley, my Pearl was Stephanie Lawrence, and my C.B. was Micheal Staniforth. This was a ground breaking musical like Time was

Saw it when at school camp in London 1986 - First dinner at Tony Roma’s in St. Martins Lane then Starlight Express at Apollo Victoria … fashinated by the moving bridge … show was marvelous and lightyears ahed of todays travelling versions

Bless This Mess. I have wanted to see this show for so many years and now I finally can.
