I want to share a moment that truly shifted something in me. Right after the tribute video during our Starlight Express reunion, there was a stillness. The kind of quiet that only shows up when hearts are full and memories are standing close. Then @Arlene Phillips spoke. What she shared wasn’t prepared or polished. It was real. Present. From the heart. She spoke about the legacy of Starlight Express. About how many extraordinary people have been part of this show across the world. About how time keeps moving and how many of our friends and colleagues we’ve already lost. And she said something that mattered deeply. That if there were a way to connect alumni from all the productions and to capture their stories, it would be phenomenal. Not just who we were in the show, but who we became because of it. Those words landed right in my chest. Because this was never just a show. It was a defining chapter in people’s lives. For some, a doorway. For others, a lifeline. For many, a thread that shaped friendships, courage, artistry, and direction long after the lights went down. That moment is what you’re hearing in the short clip I’m sharing. And it’s why I’ve decided to begin The Starlight Express Alumni Project. This project is about honoring journeys, not performances. Stories, not spotlights. Every production. Every country. Every role. Onstage. Backstage. Creative teams. Office teams. One contract or a lifetime with the show. Every path matters. If you are a Starlight Express alum and feel called to be part of this project, I invite you to reach out to me directly. If you’d like your story documented, If you’d like to share what this show meant in your life, If you believe, as I do, that remembering is an act of love, Please connect with me. This is about Living Strong by honoring what shaped us, while we still can. And this is just the beginning.
