Over the last day or so, more creaky ol' memories of lyrics for Starlight Express have been popping to mind. I'm desperately trying to remember if they were in the modern production or got cut. Stop self-gaslighting me, brain!
I had a listen to some of the released tracks from the Cast Album on Youtube and, honestly, they sounded better come to life on stage with the full dancing and skating routines than they do in a sterile recording booth.
Maybe I should purchase the live performace and watch it back.Mind you some of the new songs are pretty catchy too, and they're taking up residence rent-free.
"It's not a matter of If, but a matter of When..."
Such an apt line for many things in the world at present. -
CW: The new production of Starlight Express is glorious fun (long, now with pic)
So I went to see the new production of Starlight Express this evening.
I saw the original when I was little and loved it. Knew all the songs off by heart and it was one of the reasons I got big into quad skating then rollerblading and ice skating. Hadn't seen or heard it in decades, and had avoided the marketing for the new version so I was going in free from expectations.
Well, you know, except for hoping it would be epically awesome with flamboyant costumes and that they'd keep at least some of the original songs.
I wasn't disappointed. It was indeed very epically awesome and the costumes were most flamboyant. Many of the songs stayed true to the original, and many others were revamped sometimes switching genres. There were new songs entirely as well, freshening things up a bit. It wasn't just an 80s do-over. Some of the more minor background carriages were given more to do, and there were even a couple of new ones. The story is largely the same with some tweaks to the plot (such as it is) and the characters. I have a suspicion the changes will have annoyed all of the right people (racists, sexists, queerphobes and oil execs).
I was lucky enough to be literal front row, with the "track" going all around. I swear I had the best seat in the house! Hopefully my singing along wasn't too distracting (and I did shut up during the quieter moments).
If you liked the original, you'll like this version (unless you don't like any form of change). If you never saw the original, you'll probably still reallly enjoy it (unless you hate fun).
Wouldn't mind seeing it again in the future some time. Hopefully it has a nice long run - the auditorium seemed packed which is a good sign.
It's not If but When.

We finally went to see #StarlightExpress last night, and it was even more #WTF than I had expected.
I've never seen #Cats, but the #KimmySchmidt "#Titus in cats" joke totally tracks.
♫ I'm Regina the Regional train ♫
♫ if today ends in 'y', I'm late again ♫The skating was cool, though.

I’ve been a *huge* fan of #StarlightExpress since I first saw it in the 1980’s. I’ve seen every evolution of it multiple times (including in Bochum, Germany - tho that one only once).
Today I was back, because it is back. I cried through most of the first act. It is fantastic.

In Bochum sind wir ja stolz auf das am längsten an einem Ort laufende Musical, aber zunehmend habe ich das Gefühl, dass #StarlightExpress zu einer unguten Parabel für die deutsche #Energiewende wird: Da kommt die arrogante, CO₂-neutral betriebene Elektra („Die Zukunft bin ich“ 🙄) und will der treuen Dampflok Rusty ihren Arbeitsplatz wegnehmen, die dann zum Glück beweist, dass Kohle noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen gehört …
