Just saw a performance of Starlight Express by Motiv8 at the octagon theatre in Yeovil, they are the first and will be the last amateur production of Starlight. Brilliant night; costumes were really good, brilliant set (they extended the stage which I’ve not seen at this theatre before). All the cast did so well. Stand out performances for me are the actors playing Electra and Rusty.

Sat in the middle a couple of times. Once with my parents who were visiting from Cornwall. God that was such a long time ago.

Hi, has anyone got any cast lists or are able to help me? I've bought some roller skates which I believe were used in London for Starlight Express, the seller told me they were Anne-Jane Casey's but after speaking to her on Twitter they arnt. On seeing the pictures she said they would be someone's second pair.
The only clue to the owner is the initials JS on the bottom of them. Anyone have any ideas?

I hope they’re not Jeff Shankley’s from 1985! |

You know that thing where forum members get excited when a thread’s been bumped as it could be an announcement?
That! Lol.
(What on earth has happened to the rumoured London revival?!?!!)

I’m terrified they might be John Partridges and the pen smudged...

Strange, I remember posting a link to a pair of SE Rollerskates on eBay earlier this year here, tagging @dom and him replying but I can't find it now.

Size 6 so I'd guess belong to a female although I suppose men can have small feet! haha

yes I bought these off ebay so probably the same ones. Took a punt as no concrete proof but now I have them I'm sure they from Starlight in some capacity as the wheels are the Starlight wheels

Another (small) hint that there are still plans to bring Starlight back, probably outside of London.
As ever, keeping everything crossed :-)

I wonder if he meant to say Leicester? I wouldn't be shocked because they have been doing a lot of ALW recently/in the near future what with opening the phantom tour, LND tour and then doing TWOO at Christmas.

I get the Woke 2020 mantra but changing Papa to Mama was a mistake musically.
Even a huge rich amazing female voice can’t match the strong powerful male voice that Papa had/has. The new Starlight version 5 (gulp) just doesn’t cut the mustard. I wish they left things alone!
On another note the Starlight Halle Theatre in Bochum is sensational.

Says something when I tear up at Starlight in German.
Oh how I miss the pure unbridled joy and silliness of this show, and theatre generally.
It is my food, my nourishment. (Some folk are vegan, and that's fine too.)
