    Steve Fowler has a powerful voice, and i should know because I've known him since I was 3!!!!! My family lived next door to him and he was always singing.

    I saw this show in London when I was 9 back in 1990. I came out and burst into tears as I had never experienced such happy emotions before. This show has stuck with me forever. The music and cast are simply incredible.

      I saw Starlight in London in 198? when i was 7 years old. I'll never forget the experience. Pure magic. Still to this day, I know every word from the show and I'm 46. Fell in love with musical theater that night

      Hi SSD. I saw the live show at Wembley for first time today. Been listening to the music since I was 9 or 10, I'm 43 now and I was completely floored by the set, sound and cast. Tears rolled during "I am the Starlight." It was a stunning performance, and I will remember how it made me feel tonight for the rest of my life. Starlight 💫 Express will live forever

    This is impressive for the simple fact that this show is the ONLY ONE in the ENTIRE WORLD thats done ENTIRELY on ROLLER SKATES!
