Oh my gosh...that just "jolted" my memory. A few years ago we saw the broadway version of Andrew Lloyd Webers "Starlight Express" (which I knew nothing about except it was all done on roller skates) and was losely based on this classic story. All the roller skaters were supposed to be old and new "engines" preparing the "big race". You had your good guys, bad guys, underdogs, and even a little engine love story! Actually it was quite good! Okay, back to work! BBL! Oh my gosh times two!!! We saw "Starlight Express" in London and it was awesome! They were skating all around the audience on these platform thingies.

Yes it was. I was amazed at the skill of the actors. Gosh I would have been "flat on my butt". And I bet it was spectacular in London. Saw ours in Columbus (OH) with the touring group, touring set etc. so I'm sure the set and special effects weren't quite as sophisticated.
Again, great job sistah! Bringing back a lot of memories for a lot of us :o) Have to run and work on Thursday...my new goal is NOT TO PROCRASTINATE (yeah right!)
