Starlight Express/Trivia

• Cut Song: Several, including some that were necessary for the plot. See the Cut Song page for more details.
• Technology Marches On: Electra's character design was futuristic... in The Eighties. Little effort has been made to change it.
  • Arguably, neglect of this trope forms the crux of the entire plot.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The Really Useful Group realized this too late.
• What Could Have Been: Had the Thomas the Tank Engine musical come to fruition, this show would not exist. Similarly, the hand-drawn original poster provides a glimpse of what the aborted 1970's animated film might have looked like.
  • Belle was going to be in the Bochum show, but the casting department could not find anyone capable of handling the role. After her role was reduced on Broadway, Bochum decided to carry on without her.
