can you imagine flipping to this randomly on the tv with absolutely no context lol
I'm so glad to find out this really was broadcast on television and it was not some fever dream I had in the 80s.
Dude has a sick mullet
I saw Starlight Express on Broadway in the summer of 1987. What a great memory!
You got to love the 80s!
Thankyou so much for uploading this! I've so been wanting to see Robert Torti in action as Greaseball, and this completely made my day. I can't believe they still did all the stunts in the choreography for this performance - somewhere they wouldn't have been used to performing, and not in the controlled environment of the theatre. I am blown away. Wow!

Apparently this theater's environment was anything but controlled! So I understand completely how they could be performing elsewhere so easily.
Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing this in November 1987. I recorded it on my VCR recorder. Lots of memories from then watching this thirty years ago.

God bless you, Andrew Lloyd-Webber, for creating this oddball masterpiece of a musical, even if it didn’t last very long on Broadway
In this song, the Roland D-50 internal patch “Horn Section” is/was heard.

My thinking is because it's the opening song

It’s the opening number, but usually broadway shows do their best songs on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade/Tony’s/TV appearances. But a lot of shows will do their opening number. Some I can think of off the top of my head are The Book of Mormon- Hello, The Addams Family Musical- When You’re An Addams The Lion King- The Circle Of Life Spring Awakening- Mama Who Bore Me Hamilton- Alexander Hamilton A lot of shows will choose their opening number as it typically has the whole cast in it to show off and there are usually no major spoilers that could give away too much of the plot of the show.
