This is one of the best performances of that song I have ever heard/seen. I remember back then when I first saw the show as a little girl I didn't get all the double entendres of the lyrics. lol A couple of years later I realized how naughty a lot of the lyrics were and that Electra is bisexual, hehe.
+Laurena 05 I do like this German version of AC/DC but I do prefer both versions (English Version and German Version) of the current version that they have now which is in the 20th Anniversary CD now and the one that they used in the recent UK Tour. They actually used the new version first in the United Kingdom in 2012 and then came to Bochum a year later. The only difference between German and UK Version is that Krupp doesn't exist (in recent versions) and hasn't for the last two UK Tours (this was to save the production money, they have also cut out Expresso and Bobo in the UK Tours as well) They do have the same orchestra/music to it. It's only the language has changed.
I'm guessing you're referring to the newer UK version. The old UK version is exactly the same as this German one, just with English words. I love the old English version, but not the newer one. If you want to listen to the old one that is like this german one I can give you a youtube link.
This version, and the old version I saw in London in the 90's, are so much better IMO than the newer UK version you can see clips of online. The song was changed a fair amount, and just comes off as quite lackluster and boring now.
I know, so glad they are bringing him back. I think he will do a 2 year run like Mykal Rand did when he returned in 2013 and left in the middle of 2014/15 cast contract. He is a very good Electra!
Also my first - and all time favourite Electra ! Ich liebe Woody in dieser Rolle- hoffentlich habe ich einmal die Chance, ihn in der neuen Fassung ebenfalls sehen und hören zu können - ggf. auch gerne als Greaseball ... ! Wenn Bochum nur nicht sooo weit weg wäre ...
I wonder, is the future the time to bring this musical back to Broadway? I mean it would be the most unpredictable move Broadway could do to get people to come back. I mean this is such a gonzo, wacky show...how could it not have healthy attendance numbers?
@@Elios0000 I think the staging of the show doesn't really support a traveling show though. Even the most successful one stays put in Bochum, Germany because the stage has to be quite large.
@@OceanbornAngel Yeah, it needs a highly specialized theatre and even in Bochum they sometimes have technical issues with the stage. Travelling with that would be insanely expensive.
So genial AC/DC auch ist (auch, oder besonders in deutsch), gefällt mir dieser spezielle Version nicht sonderlich... Zum einen sind sowohl Electra, als auch seine Waggons sehr schwer zu verstehen und zum Anderen: Wieso musste/sollte man Joule`s Flat Top zu so `ner Mähne umwandeln? Ich mag in der Hinsicht vieleicht etwas altmosisch sein, aber Joule hatte für mich immer diesen Wasserstoffblongen Kurzhaarschnitt, der in den 90ern ja teilweise recht beliebt war=.
So gut diese Variation von Electra`s Entrace auch ist, im deutschen wirkt es leiser gar nicht. Die Vorstellung der einzelnen Wagen ist leider an der Grenze zum undefinierbaren durch den akkustischen Effekt. Ich liebe diese Variante in der englischen Fassung (CD-Aöbum "New Starlight Express"), aber im deutschen ist es leider einfach schrecklich. Zum Einen gehen interessanten Nuancen verloren ("Who is Electra?" ... ""We ask the questions!"), zudem macht die Stimmveränderung der Darsteller diese leider nicht "elektrisch", sondern absolut unverständlich.
LaraHa88 Yeah. I don't know when it changed, but the change was made because the keyboard commands were no longer brand new and strange, and became common knowledge. Thus, the change.
Basically it's Electra singing about how hot and desirable he is. For both female and male trains. XD Look up the lyrics (the old ones, don't know if they made any crazy changes in the newer version).
English - Tina in this bootleg! The cast list says ??? next to the character Krupp who is playing him. I am not sure if it a swing or Todd Lester himself. As it is hard to identify the Krupp actors because they wear glasses. Once I get another bootleg of this cast. With Todd in the bootleg. I'll update this after I get more information, sorry for any inconvenience. German - Tina in diese Bootleg ! Die Besetzungsliste sagt ??? Neben den Charakter Krupp, der ihn spielt. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob es sich um eine Schaukel oder Todd Lester selbst. Da es schwierig ist, die Krupp Akteure zu identifizieren, weil sie eine Brille tragen . Sobald ich eine andere Bootleg dieser Besetzung zu bekommen. Mit Todd in der Bootleg. Ich werde diese aktualisieren, nachdem ich mehr Informationen, sorry für die Unannehmlichkeiten bekommen.
I kinda think the voice modulation is overkill but the choreography is nice and that dudes vocals SLAY
Agreed. Voice modulation was a nice thought, but the execution was not my favorite
We have to consider that this is a recording, it probably sounded different and also better live in the theatre

I had such a huge crush on Electra when i was younger.
The best electra ever!
The song of german is nice too
the English song is not so good
I love the German song

Richard Woodford returns to Starlight Express in June 2016 als 1st Cast Electra :) :)

OMG!!! HE'S GREAT!!!
my first electra :)
he's brilliant !!!
Spektakulärster auftritt von allen,ich liebe ihn 🤗
Also my first - and all time favourite Electra !

Best musical I’ve ever seen in my life!

they should just have be a traveling show and use sports arenas for it more room and more seats

#teamelectra ❤
Lea Janke yes😍❤
Bei uns sah es vorgestern anders aus also gleicher Text aber nicht von den anderen 5 da war es einen anderer Text und Electra hat voll Cool geleuchtet
Ich schätze die Show wird alle paar Jahre mal angepasst.
Ja zum 30 jährigem jubiläum gab es eine komplette veränderung des musicals
Thomas and Friends meets Jem and the Holograms. JUST KIDDING! This is my fave song by them
Ich liebe es!
ich liebe dieses Lied

Benjamin Schäfer-Schmidt vielleicht*
hast du nur falsch geschrieben :)
Och auch
Sorry ich auch
Hey can someone explain what the FUCK he’s doing with his arms at 2:54

Didn't the dialogue of Electra's wagons change sometime? I remember them kind of summoning him over various keyboard commands?
LaraHa88 Yeah. I don't know when it changed, but the change was made because the keyboard commands were no longer brand new and strange, and became common knowledge. Thus, the change.
Enter Electra!
Rrrrrrun Electra!
Confirm! Confirm! Enter!
@@randomguyfromgermanyClear, Electra, Verify?
Woody war einfach der beste Electra.
What's this about?
Basically it's Electra singing about how hot and desirable he is. For both female and male trains. XD Look up the lyrics (the old ones, don't know if they made any crazy changes in the newer version).
Same
Was wurde bei 0:30 gesagt
Zwei Monate spät aber, "Ich bin wrench, Elektras Reparatur wagen"
Ich verstehe ich bin Wrench Electra’s Transport wagen verstanden aber das André passt mehr den was soll Wrench denn transportieren
Bis auf das Electra immer fur mich statt für mich gesagt hat is das mega gut♥
Charlotte Grund Als Engländer ist die Deutsche Aussprache ein bisschen schwer
Annika Haller ja
Charlotte Grund das ist aber so ist ja auch Engländer ich ( habe schon mit ihm gesprochen) will aber nicht angeben
Woody is the BEST :D
Wer ist hier denn Krupp ?
