The stage and set of Starlight Express on broadway at the Gershwin Theater was HUGE. It had three levels and massive hydraulic bridges. It was so big that the full, live, orchestra had to be on the 3 floor back stage of the Gershwin Theater. They front of the stage went right into the audience and we were literally skating over peoples heads every single night. The broadway set was spectacular in everyway. John Napier should have been nominated for a Tony Award for his set design

Hi. Was the stage of the Gershwin removed or built over with the Starlight set? Great show.

I think this set has the most bridges out of any production lol

I wholeheartedly agree with you! A Starligtht Express DVD is long overdue!

I was the head scenic artist on this production but have no photos of the set :( . Thanks for posting this on KZread. It was the most magnificent set

Starlight would be loads of fun to do, although difficult to stage. Andrew never ceases to amaze me.

You cast members are amazing. This is a privilege show to be in.

This is the closing night of Starlight Express at the Gershwin Theater in New York City. There was a full orchestra along with 3 or 4 booth singers on the 3rd floor every single night. The booth singers were added just to sweetin the sound a bit for the ensemble numbers and some harmony over Reva Rice's (Pearl) song, "Make Up My Heart." Each one of us had a small body mic that went over our heads, through our hair to our forehead. EVERYTHING was live except for the young boys voice.

Greg vocal range and sustain is fantastic. All Rusty's should have the same tbh

Anyone (like down below) would compare this to a freaking cartoon clearly has no life what so ever. Such a shame. Family Guy is a fucking cartoon! This isn't stop comparing! Great footage by the way. Gonna audition for a production of this next year, can't wait!

WoW. What an amazing bridge!

Oh gotta love the sirens 1:46

It is from Broadway, closing night

anyone think they'll come back to the US any time for another performance?

in the words of Elektra " clear my track you had your last chance yeah, I'll find another track no come back!"

You are my new hero. This video is amazing!

"Keep it moving like Starlight Express, Buck em down space tech banana clip"

Now here's another thing that bugs me, maybe even more than Family Guy people, why is there a point to compare every production of Starlight with German production. Yes it is the longest running Starlight but I think most people forget that yes the show did came from London but most of that material came from THIS version. Big fan don't care which version is better.

I GOT A TRAIN SET FOR CHRISTMAS.

I just can say come to Germany Bocjum and take a look for the Starlight Express Musical much more action and faster.

my dad directed this badboy and i used to muck around on the set with my fisher price rollers!

wich production is it ?? London oder New york.. or that....

The starlight in Bochum (Germany) is the best in the World

is this london or broadway??? i believe london

Can you post A Lotta Locomotion, please?

Listen, starlight Express is not gay its amazing. If you dont like it then don't watch the vid. IFamily Guy is just a stupid cartoon not a world famous musical that some people (me) are obsessed with.

I hate the proscenium theatre production.

Is it just me or do their jammers really suck?

Smv 500 family Guy is awesome you are not............... [adult swim]
