Amazing! I was very impressed, the singing, the costumes, the effects everything was wonderful. A really good night out. As good as everyone was, Greaseball and Electra - toot toot!

I saw this show for the first time in London and twice since on tour. Last nights performance was fantastic - excellent cast and faultless performance, thankyou for such an entertaining evening!

Breathtaking, amazing, I left the theatre on a high. Have not seen anything like it. I even standed up at the end and it takes me a lot to do that. It moved me and bought a tear to my eye. I take my hat off to the actors, actresses, rollerblades, the band and the people who work back stage.

This was a fantastic show. We all really enjoyed it. The music and 3D effect were brilliant. The 2 hours went too quickly. I can honestly say this is the best show I have seen in ages.

I saw Starlight Express last time it was at the Mayflower and it has got so much better, the cast were outstanding, if you don't know whether to go and see it do! You will be amazed thank you to the cast for a fabulous show.

Absolutely brilliant! First time I've ever seen the show and I want to see it again! A huge thank you to the cast and all the support staff for a truly wonderful evening which was over far too quickly.

We absolutely loved it. It was a fantastic show. I have never seen it before and want to see it again. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves music. The performances by Rusty and Papa were spell binding. Both had voices you wanted to hear again and again.

It was spectacular hope u get near the front I got a thumbs up from GB and Electra. Dinah gave me a wink in the middle of the show. Having seen this show many times at the Apollo in Victoria London took the kids last night, these guys keep the magic alive. Mykal Rand as Electra is truly a class act!

Starlight Express was fantastic. I'd like to congratulate the cast on the opening night. Thought the guys in it had the most fabulous voices and they were certainly very talented. Starlight express is amazing. It was magical. It was great. I Loved the stunts and thoroughly enjoyed the mega mix at the end of the show and being able to get up and have a dance, Jig about and have a great time. It's a show not to be missed. I'll definately see it when it comes to Southampton again.

My friend booked this show, and then I read a really poor review in our local paper, so was rather apprehensive as I knew nothing about it. As it happens I have enjoyed it very much, found it exciting if a little loud, super costumes and great voices, the cast worked their buts off and gave to my inexperienced eye a faultless performance, well done everyone, good entertainment.

Having seen the London show twice, I was slightly apprehensive about booking again - in case the 'on tour' show wasn't as good. I needn't have worried, as I smiled from the minute the show started to minute it ended. Cleverly incorporated 3D film race scenes brought a new twist; and the cast whizzed around every available inch of the stage. Still as good as ever, and on a chilly Thursday afternoon in Southampton, there sure was a light at the end of the tunnel! Whooo whoooo!

Having been to the London stage show years ago (and loved i) I had high expectations and unfortunately came out of the show dissapointed. I realised that there would be some limitations as the Mayflower has relatively small stage, but the 3D race effects were a great alternative but it did take away some of the magic. My biggest dissapointment though was the change in score (the new songs didn't really flow very well- they stuck out like a sore thumb) land making Electra camp! He was always my favorite- the uber-cool flahy bad boy, I had spent ages telling my family how cool he was! Having said that, the man who played the old steam train had the most amazing voice and that saved the performance for me.

This show was awesome and definitely the best I've ever seen. I've seen so many that have given me ideas on going to a theatre or drama school because I would love to do shows when I am older and this show really did it for me and I am going to start a theatre school in the near future with my friend. I would just like to say to all of the performers thank you for making me realise what I would like to be and I thought that you were all amazing x x x

It was an amazing experience. If you ever had a pair of roller skates when you were a kid, then this takes you back to those days. You really feel like going out and buying yourself a pair and skating around the streets. Maybe not such a good idea when you are getting on in case you knock your hip out!

I loved the music, superb! All kinds to cater for any audience! The singing is absolutely fantastic ( I could listen to the actor who played Pappa forever, as well as Rusty's performer!) Not to mention the acting and their general performance, brilliant! Fantastic dancing and stunts as well. However, I have to admit my disappointment when it came to the "3D" version of it. I know that was how the show was advertised and promoted, but my idea of 3D, theatre wise, was to see the whole premise as an extension of the stage show, with "train" tracks above the stalls siding with dress circles where the actors race and do breathtaking stunts. I have heard and read about this show before and that was how it was described to me, with no 3D cinema screen coming down on stage for the races and goggles given out at the foyer. I even like 3D films, but that is not what I came to see Starlight for. I've seen a bunch of them in Disney, so "no, thanks". Sorry, I might sound arrogant on this one, but my expectations were far greater than a 3D movie screen. It is the kind of play that should not be touring if they can't afford to adapt the premises to fulfil the "soul" of the production. Clever, though, as the play was adapted and they found an economical way (I suppose) to tour the play. Still worth seeing, great for kids, and if you 've never seen it before, or are a 3D movie buff, you will enjoy it! But I still think nothing can beat the thrill of the real stunts in the race. No 3D screen and special goggles can do that!

What a show - superb in every respect. Absolutely fantastic!

This is undoubtedly the BEST show I have ever seen. All the cast are fantastic. My favourites are Rusty for his beautiful and powerful voice and Electra for his fabulous roller skating and his portrayal of something that is Electric, VERY convincing! The costumes are excellent and show great detail up close. The music is loud but the louder the better! It is powerful and expressive. I enjoyed the 3D part and receiving the "SAFETY GOGGLES"! It makes me cross when people say its not as good as the London production! Southampton Stage is tiny compared to the London one! How are they supposed to skate out in the audience! Fall down the steps! Some people don't understand or appreciate excellent quality. Its not the Apollo its the Mayflower! I have been 6 times to see the show with various people from my 67 year old Grandma to a 4 year old I look after! They ALL thought it was fantastic! Appeals to all ages! I am coming again on Saturday with my cousin from Spain and Mum! Well done to all involved!

After seeing it twice last year, I was really expecting something amazing. I was slightly dissapointed with this years performance, i don't know what it was but it just seemed really bland. I don't think it was the cast - but it was definitely something. I didn't go home really upset about it but i wasnt thinking - wow im gonna watch it again. But it was still a brilliant show!
Jax

It was a brilliant porformance. Loved the dancing and the singing, brilliant.
Katie

I thought the show was outstanding. The cast were amazing, they brought energy, entertainment and star quality to Southampton. The make up, secenery, and costume were all outstanding, but the quality of singing really threw me. An amazing show with an amazing cast. Good luck with future shows.

Fantastic, amazing, excellent, sublime, wow factor, what an experience, a thrilling show from start to finish. Family entertainment at its best. All the characters in the show were spell binding and a credit to the story. The cast were so genuine and happily signed autographs afterwoods for my daughter, whose birthday it was, it made her day, so thankyou to everyone. Looking forward to the show returning to come and watch it again and again. Brilliant.

I was absoloutely blown away by this show! As it went on it got better and better! The outfits were so cool and the actors AMAZING! My favourite parts were Dinah singing U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D and the 3D races. I also had shivers down my spine when Rusty sang Starlight express! The 3D effect was amazing and yeas, I did duck (along with everyone else in the audience!). In my opinion it couldn't have been better and I will for sure see it next time it comes back to Southampton! Well done all of the cast!
