Starlight express, are you real? Yes or no? Starlight express please answer me yes, ‘cos I don’t want you to go!

I am secretly in love with Starlight Express, what is better than a messed up musicalized version of The Little Engine That Could.

This is exactly what I’m saying, Robyn! They changed CB to the horrid “red caboose” for the shitty craptacular Broadway version. If only you could have gone in London in 1987…if only….

NOOOOOO! Eliza. I still have nightmares about the Red Caboose.
Of course, I only saw the Broadway production…but still…Evil. Pure. Unadulterated. Evil.

Zoobilee Zoo!
I loved this show as a child and still have a VHS tape around my place somewhere with the episodes on it. None of my friends (claim to not) have seen it. Glad to know there is someone else who enjoys grown men and women dressed like an animal and singing songs about inappropriate subject matter.

According to the Starlight Express fansite (last updated in 2005)… http://www.beeptwo.com/pearls/mainframe.html
…Pearl is the observation car. I guess she likes to watch?

Again, I have no idea where they got that from.

Looked so amazing in a Springtime for Hitler kinda way via the Wiz and Xanadu.
One day I may tell you my life changing experience at “Big: The Musical”.

I liked it, too. Even though I was worried about the “track” falling on us.
There’s just no accounting for taste.
You’re welcome…

O.M.G. I saw this original production in London on a high school trip chaperoned by by our (of course) closeted drama teacher. “Oh Rusty, What have you donnnnne?” Seeing that show sort of became a what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas moment in our lives. It’s never been discussed since.
