This Anglo-German relationship is simple to explain: At the time, tried in London this version, more adapted to the German, as this was more successful. Unfortunately, this does not work completely and starlight in London closed its doors. Now you ever tried the German show more of the old londoner adapt to offer the fans more to London, making the German show, unfortunately, has become something worse: (

Hm, I saw both versions and I agree that the German one is better. They cut out some of the best scenes and characters in the English version and added lame songs like this. The German version has more bite and the audience usually rocks. Oh well, same with German or Scandinavian rock festivals that are simply the best. ;-)
This song is now in the German version, and some of the older material is cut. The older London show and the older German show were both better than the replacement versions.
@Trampadoo How German to have to say "we do things the best", if it was anywhere nearly true that would be fine,but after living in Stuttgart I can say the shows in Germany are mostly second rate compared to London or Broadway and really expensive.
@leebearlondonlee: I was talking about Starlight Express and not other musical productions. *rolls eyes* And about rock festivals. I have been to a couple in the UK and they all ended up with people being so pissed they fell down en masse and dozens of people fighting and trying to bash each others faces in. I very much prefer festivals in Germany and Scandinavia over this. People rock out but most can hold their liquor and there are very very few fights.
Wow, I spent a summer in England, I guess this is the cast I saw perform it. Great play, the stage in Houston is not nearly as cool as the one in London
i saw the show yesterday with my best m8 (second time) and we knew James finished ages ago ( we have seen him in wicked 2) but adam ellis (related to kerry ellis?) was really good but it wasnt the same we needed the scottish accent! but i love this show and this song!
went to see starlight this week ,Rusty was played by Kristopher Harding,who was absolutley brilliant , he has the most beautiful voice ,and a great stage presence, I will deff be going to see this show again ,Love it , thanks for posting this !
hey oncle james...hope to see you soon!!your great in this musicle!:)your little princess barbi and little monkey sedie:)hope we're dancin soon again with keily in the back round:)
