First of all, and before anyone raises their eyebrows, I did not do Starlight Express musical to be so excited in sharing my experience last Sunday. But the love and support that I have witnessed from this reunion was so moving, and I would like to share it with everyone. I have never seen a cast reunion like this. Everyone flew from different parts of the world, and you can feel how much they loved this show and each other. My husband was part of this show since it started in Germany in 1988. I felt my husband’s happiness being there, and for us being there with/for him. Our daughter was so lucky to see the show where her Mummy and Daddy met. I am thankful for this show because without it, I wouldn’t be with the man of my dreams. Starlight Express gave me the best blessing in my life.
I saw Starlight Express over a decade ago, after doing Miss Saigon in Stuttgart. I met my very good friend, Dolan Jose, in 1994 who was the dance captain of the show then, and he was the one who made me fall in love with this show. He was also the reason why me and my husband are together. 🙂
The energy on stage last Sunday was exceptional. It was like watching a concert more than a musical. Hundreds of old cast members were in the audience watching the new STEX cast. Every number was like a curtain call, non-stop applause from everyone. It was AMAZING! Even me who was not part of the show had goosebumps and was teary for them.
I remember auditioning for this show and I almost killed myself. I promised myself I will never dance again after that audition. LOL It was so hard! It’s the hardest musical on earth, believe me! So everyone who was part of this show should feel proud as it is a great achievement to be part of this incredible musical.
Me and my daughter, Alyanna, are so grateful for having been able to support Garry, my husband. We haven’t seen him for weeks as he’s been touring with a show, and it was great to meet up in Germany and come home together.
We were so proud of my husband and everyone who did the show. I was speechless when all the cast from 1988 to present went on stage. I felt so happy for everyone. It was one of the best Galas I have attended. The Germans know how to throw a party for the actors. That’s why Germany will always have a soft spot in my heart. I will never forget my amazing experiences in Deutschland. Never.
I would like to single out one amazing person who deserve a huge recognition for her hard work and dedication. To Ms Debbie Hearnden Mayer, congratulations for doing a great job for the last 25 years. You truly dedicated yourself for this show and that’s why it is as flawless as always. I have never met a person like you who is still as passionate about the show after all these years. I always felt your positive energy whenever you talk about STEX, and you are truly inspiring. Thank you for accommodating me and my family. We had a great time with you, and your lovely family.
To all the cast, creatives, crew of STARLIGHT EXPRESS, Congratulations! May you continue inspiring yourselves to always do a good show, and love your work above all. You don’t know how lucky you are to be there. Thank you for the great experience you showed my daughter last Sunday. She will never forget this day.
To Mr Meinolf Muller, vielen dank fur alles! Thank you for this amazing treat you gave me and my daughter. You made all of us so happy. x
