Loved/still love this TV advert, I remember as a kid thinking why did he say available on Album/Cassette + not say Compact Disc though it says on there + Compact Disc! I remember on other adverts for the cast recording it would say Compact Disc/CD from the voice-over !
Ummm how, played in West End for nearly 20 years, played on Broadway for nearly 2 years, has been playing in same venue in Germany since 1988! Had many successful tours worldwide since the 80's for decades! The original cast album sold millions worldwide/still sells- it it still gets mentioned/shown in many TV documentaries, on Radio, on social media, etc And as you know has had a successful revival in London, and is loved still by millions worldwide So veryyyyyy confused here Victor!!!!
@@victorhernandez8723 You mean, because it hasn't toured in US or been at the another venue for many years?? I saw it in Las Vegas Hilton where it was yet another hit there for just over 4 years- Hilton on 14 September 1993 to Nov of 1997! And then the 1st US Tours in the 80's/90's running for a few years and then the 2nd US tour-opened in Biloxi, Mississippi on 1 April 2003 and toured the U.S. until 13 June 2004 in L.A.. It shuld def do a revivalagain on Broadway and/or do another US Tour! Why don't you come to London and see it??
This is so cool! I think I saw this on a vhs at one of my mom’s boyfriends’ house. Isn’t there also a video of Ray Shell singing the Starlight Sequence live at some award show? It’s been forever since I’ve seen it, maybe you have it or know of it?
That was Lon Satton & Ray at that years Olivier awards in London. It used to be up in here but its either been deleted or made private if memory serves me correctly. shame :-/
jonathan clay Oh what a shame. We’re still really good friends (I like all of his vintage stuff), so maybe we can find the tape and convert it to digital
@@lilchwis4423 Hve you seen the STEX Alumni podcast interviews yet? Interviews with a ton of ex-stex cast members including Ray ,Drue Williams and Reve Rice amongst many,many others. Its a goldmine for stex fans like us. :-D
