Yeah, imagine being a Disney musical on stage before there was Disney musicals on stage...LOL.
The music I think is pretty good, not knockout fantastic, but I rate it higher overall than Beautiful Game, Woman In White, Aspects Of Love, Cats and Jeeves.
I wonder whatever happened to the Starlight Express film?

It had potential, but kinda missed the mark. What they should've done is got Hugh Laurie & Stephen Fry to reprise their TV roles and do a special film. The TV show was very successful and Hugh Laurie is multi-musically talented.
