The stacks of money are really not obvious as money. I donāt like it anyway, but theyād be better using a sack with a dollar sign on the side.

Yes the first two times I saw it I had no idea what they were. No youāre right - Killerwatt doesnāt say his name but still delivers his next line. So odd when the other three do say their names! Agree re the coaches having more lines. In the tour some people thought Girlās Rolling Stock was cut to reduce Buffy and Ashley to ensemble only which people alleged was a different pay grade. Probs a nonsense but itās been said about those roles and their equivalents before! |

Please bring back the train helmets....you know, the actual thing that reminds you the whole thing is about trains, not weird roller skating robots. The current ones are basically tarted up bike helmets! Totally agree with the opinion of costumes being lazy in this production.

Oops. Accidentally went again tonight. There was a show stop after Rolling Stock. They said a problem with the set which seemed to have happened when Dinah and Tassita first rolled down. I would love to know how they knew about it so quickly! Do the actors have emergency stop buttons or something?
Loved West Country Dinah!
They only thought I want to add to the ones above is, after āJust remember whose side youāre on!ā The āIām on mineā from Slick doesnāt land at all.

after āJust remember whose side youāre on!ā The āIām on mineā from Slick doesnāt land at all. implying Slick only looks out for herself? The line I don't get is Pearl not liking Rusty assuming she'll race with him- 'I'll let myself be pushed around!'- wouldn't 'I won't let myself be pushed around' make more sense, hmm |

Bit the bullet and took advantage of the Theatre Week prices to book for this in September. The whole logic of staying at Wembley Premier Inn for my two day trip hinged on a ticket to Starlight on the Weds evening, so was getting antsy about relying on the TodayTix Rush! A seat in one of the Platforms for Ā£45 felt like a reasonable trade for peace of mind!

One of the most helpful and knowledgeable box office staff I have ever come across. |

Completely overwhelmed by choice š« Front row locomotive first choice, front row trackside second choice, anywhere platform third choice, carriages anything except first two rows as fourth choice. Avoid second row trackside. |

Iām ādoing the doubleā today, which means the 1pm Starlight Express (first class carriage 1), then AEW All In later (managed to get a Ā£400 floor seat for Ā£65 resale).
I did get to sit in the front row of Trackside recently, end seat, which is a unique view from behind for the most part. A very good view of the races. You do have a rail across the ramp in view. Plus, a perfect place for Pablo to smile at you as he goes by (or to watch the occasional skater rolling around on the floor). Not the best place for a first visit, but interesting for returners. Avoid second row Trackside though.

I asked RUG, ALWOfficial, StarlightLondon and MichaelHarrison across their various social channels about a cast recording and didn't get anything back from any of them.
So frustrating!

Row J, I think, has been there all the time. Or, at least, Iāve sat in the row in front with people behind me. I donāt think itās raked, so may not offer the best view.

I'm at Starlight now funnily enough - I thought those two rows were new too. Tracking back to earlier in the thread, there are definitely more lights in the Electra sequence. They've seem to gone a bit "MJ" with the subwoofer this afternoon - the bass is thumping. This show is looking in great form with a very confident cast.
P.S. There is a strict "no readmissions" policy in operation now at this show.

Has anyone managed to exchange tickets before? I bought a 29.50 ticket through KX tickets a while ago, website says I can exchange but not sure how easy that will be...
