Cast Change is in May for Bochum but from the starlight express wiki which is reliable when it comes to cast change it still lists Reva as Mama for 2024. I think it will be Mica Paris who did the workshop. I really hope they get an ex-Pearl performer from London, kinda like what they did with Reva for Bochum. Maybe Dawn Buckland or Anna Kumble (who was known as the singer Lolly in the 90s). |

Maybe Dawn Buckland or Anna Kumble (who was known as the singer Lolly in the 90s). I worked with both Dawn and Anna - both lovely and quite talented. Dawn was the backbone of Starlight for many years and swung into just about every role including Electra on a couple of occasions....she's talented and dead hilarious. |

Surely the voice of control Tara Wilkinson has to be involved somehow? 🧐

Why don't they bring back Poppa and have Ray Shell play him?

Have signed up through KX but it isn’t clear how to get tickets for Starlight, what discounts are available etc. Thank you everybody I got my access ticket a few weeks ago. As someone has mentioned click on the link in their post, register with Nimbus (you don't need to pay for a card unless you will use it a lot). Then when approved you get a registration number. E mail Kx Tickets access team with your Nimbus number, date you want, number of tickets and your access requirements. They then allocate your seats send you an invoice and a link to click to pay. You do get a discount and those details are on the theatres website. |

Do you have a link to the discounts / reductions etc as cost is a big factor and don’t want to reserve tickets that are over our budget in error! |

I am sure when this first went on sale the booking system said something about the most expensive 'First Class Carriage' seats moving, but now they just have the same note as the other trackside seats:
"Please note these seats are close to the racing track. Entry to and from seats will be limited and restricted at times."
Moving no longer?

It still says the seats move on the LW Theatres site. Perhaps the they’re scaling it back a bit. Would be a shame if they are. |

Shame if it doesn’t move as then no difference from the platform seats! |

Maybe just ask the person behind you to kick your seat a few times during the show.

Pay him enough and it could be a nice bit of press and a full circle moment for him and fans of the show.
You must be really fun at parties.

Oh, not don't get me wrong - it would be an iconic moment that I would love to see myself - it's just unrealistic for the reasons I gave! |

In that respect STARLIGHT may be just like the original....few of us were new grads but the wages were dire unless you were a principal. The only way to make decent money was to have a few covers and go on a lot. The basic pay was abysmal and it was one of the lowest paid shows in the West End with one of the hardest working casts. |

It would have been bad enough, but they will need so many swings because of injuries etc, that the cast will surely end up being really large. Also who wants to schlep to Wembley every day. |

It’s very convenient from the home counties & North/West London. A bonus in fact for the many performers priced out of living in Central or Sarf. |

Wonder ... do you think any of the NEWSIES cast will be auditioning for this? They certainly proved they were all awesome dancers ... could they translate that into skating? :-)
