[cbtheredcaboose]

They 100% made a silly band, you can’t change my mind.

[finleyforevermore]

2023's StEx Appreciation Month!

Day 17: C.B. the Red Caboose!

Thierry Gondet in the first picture, Oliver Rhoe Thornton in the second picture, Kapa Kitchen in the third picture, and Craig Perry in the fourth picture.

Favorite Actor: Todd Lester (Broadway, 1988-1989), Kapa Kitchen (Bochum, 1996-1998), Oliver Rhoe Thornton (Bochum, 2001-2002), Ben Draper (Bochum, 2008-2010), Michael Eborall (Bochum, 2013-2015, swing), Andrew Prosser (Bochum, 2013-2016), and Dan Ellison (Bochum, 2016-2018).

Face Claim/Voice Claim: Thierry Gondet (with a skin tone similar to Kapa's) (face) and Kapa Kitchen (voice)

Favorite Song(s)/Scene(s): There's Me and Wide Smile

Favorite Costume: The only real option since this is specifically toy solidier CB skhdjkhg: Broadway/pre-2018 Bochum.

Favorite Ship(s): My all-time favorite CB ship is DinahBoose (Dinah x CB)! But I also think CB x Joule is super cute! I also really love Ice Braker (CB x Volta)!

Headcanon: He's totally pan in some way. While he only actually wants to be in a relationship with [insert name of whoever you ship him with here], he will not deny that he finds about 90% of the yard, regardless of gender, very pretty.

Unpopular Opinion: I'm not actually all too big a fan of the Rusted Brakes (Rusty x CB) ship.

[the-french-eurobitch]

~DAY #17: CB

Favorite Actor: Nivaldo Alverez, Mike Eborall, Ben Draper…unfortunately, it’s nearly EVERYONE who played him hkqGshjbfjb. (Honorable Mentions: Michael Staniforth, Gordon Gesatzki & Darren John.)

Favorite Songs/Scenes: 

Every single There’s Me reprise. I mean….GAAAAAHHHH I CRY EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME

Wide Smile “reprise” (Broadway)

Favorite Costumes: 

Hell yeah. Usher clown tin soldier core ;)

Favorite Ships:

Rusted Brakes…again. 

Flat Top x CB

Turnov x CB

Headcanons:

He harrnessed all the energy once, SOMEHOW, to stay up at 3am just to play randomized opera music at Rusty’s window, and dramatically lip-synch to it the whole fucking time. 

(btw, I have a crack playlist based on this sooo check it out or whatever: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5P2BaVO7zKPmoSE0SJAltl?si=74dce06b6dd14cda) 

He is well-versed in every single language for almost no reason. (To some, at least. No, he did not learn from any of the Nationals. Wink wink)

Ceeb's had only a brief, secret affair with Turnov prior to parterning with him in the races....

Unpopular Opinions:

Oh how astounding would it be to have the Wide Smile reprise come back, and thus let the ✨Ceebert Deebert✨ have more C6 notes to sing :))

Some of you might be aware of the StEx Alumni Podcast on Spotify, some you may not be aware. (That's okay) BUT, I really would've loved to hear additional episodes with more Ceeb actors.

[isaterriblebore]

StEx Appreciation Month Day 17: Pre 2018 Caboose

Favourite Actor MIKEY EBORALL!!!!!! Also, William Adams, Peter Rees, Hans Johansson, Steven Schultz, Murray Golding, T. Robert Pigott, Nivaldo Allvez, Ben Draper, Todd Lester, Jeremy Kocal. Favourite Songs/Scenes Wide Smile of course! But I think There’s Me also was sweet and I enjoyed that song. I also like the 'there's me' reprises throughout the show in some productions. Favourite Costumes The Bochum one of course! Favourite Ships Rusty/Caboose is my OTP! But I also ship Caboose/Electra.

Headcanons I think his best friends are Dinah and Dustin! He sticks up for Dustin a lot and I feel like a reason why CB betrayed Greaseball was because of how he treated Dinah. Unpopular Opinions I miss him okay? I just wish they didn’t cut There’s Me and other bits that gave him more of a personality other than him just being ‘crazy’. Also I prefer blonde CB.... even though my favourite CB is Michael Eborall who is a brunette CB lol. Photo 1: William Adams - London 1991. Photo 2: Nivaldo Allves - Bochum 2007. Photo 3: Hans Johansson - Bochum 1988. Photo 4: Michael Eborall - Bochum 2013. Photo 5: Ben Draper - Bochum 2008. Photo 6: Eddie Marco - Bochum 1991.

[chessiesystem]

At the back, on every piece of track

I’m right behind you,

If I can be of help at all, then simply call

On me!

For CB Day I wanted to put together an assortment of various Clown Bimbos we’ve had over the years. Click on individual gifs for more info on the actors shown!

[workofthediesel]

Which starlight characters makeup is your favorite and what actor has your favorite version of that makeup?

my favorite character would be either joule or cb, but as far as actors go, i’ll be honest, i don’t pay much attention. my favorite looks for both of them are bochum pre-rewrites, back when joule had a mohawk and cb looked like a clown

[catofstarlight]

What are your favourite moments in StEx? From any production!

Favourite moments? Ok, I'll give some general and production specific ones.

Production specific:

Todd Lester's splits

Greg Ellis's Starlight Yell

Ben Draper falling in that one megamix

Kapa's Ceeb casually kicking Rusty

Jane Krakowski's sassy U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D

That footage in the Vegas (?) boot when the villains crash through the sign.

Ruhrgold losing his arm in the first US Tour (I don't remember, it was the Philadelphia boot).

General:

One Rock and Roll/Mein Speil

There's Me/Ganz Allien

Literally everything CB or Canoose

Pumping Iron

All the tricks and stunts!

The lighting!

The sound of the wheels on the floor of the stage.

And Dinah.

Also, thank you for the Bens!

[phroggy-trades]

I’ve been lurking in the Starlight Express fandom for awhile, and its one of the most fun fandoms I’ve been a part of in awhile. So I’ve decided to gift some of my StEx bootlegs so I can give back to the community!

I created a google doc that contains the date, tour, cast, and the link for each bootleg, along with some additional info about file types and other things.

Here are the boots that are listed: (This isn’t my whole collection of StEx boots, but these are just the ones I think people should see. I intend to add more as my collection grows!)

Videos-

September 13, 2003 | 2nd US Tour |

Franklyn Warfield (Rusty), Clarissa Grace (Pearl), Drue Williams (Greaseball), Dustin Dubreuil (Electra), Jaremy Kocal (Caboose) Katie O’Toole (Dinah), Dennis Legree (Papa), Joanna Loughran-Richert (Buffy), Kait Holbrook (Ashley)

January 28, 2015 | Bochum |

Kevin Köhler, Trina Hill, David Moore, Matthew Goodgame, Emma Prosser, Paul Shipp, Ben Draper, Sian Velazquez, Carla Pullen, Toby Poole, Paul Treacy, Jason Gray, Brett Shields, Brad Corben, Cary Chennell, Dean Coach, Kelly Downing, Dawn Leigh Woods, Melanie Brown, Graham Harvey, Elliot Collins, Adam Bailey, Jeffrey Socia, Craig Tyler, Manuel Reckow, Etienne Vogel                                                    Notes: Excellent shoot, taper clearly knows the show. A couple particularly blocky bits couldn’t be smoothed out.

May 31, 2015 | Bochum |

Kevin Köhler (Rusty), Trina Hill (Pearl), Matthew Goodgame (Greaseball), Paul Shipp (Electra), Amy Di Bartolomeo (u/s Dinah), David Moore (Papa), Carla Pullen (Buffy), Victoria Anderson (Ashley), Mike Eborall (u/s Caboose), Dewayne Adams (Hip Hopper 1), Brett Shiels (Hip Hopper 2), Ciaran Rees (Hip Hopper 3), Duncan Leighton (Dustin), Paul Treacy (Flattop), Dean Coach (Krupp), Toby Poole (Purse), Kelly Downing (Joule), Melanie Brown (Wrench), Cate Gunner (u/s Volta), Graham Harvey (Ruhrgold), Jason Gray (u/s Turnov), Adam Bailey (Espresso), Jeffrey Socia (Bobo), Luke Zammit (u/s Hashimoto)                                    Notes: Goodbye show for the 2014/15 cast. This is also the bootleg where that infamous gif of Greaseball and Electra kissing comes from. 

August 27, 2019 | Bochum |

Markus Fetter (Rusty), Hollie Aires (Pearl), Ben Carruthers (Greaseball), Adam Lake (Elektra), Sian Jones (u/s Dinah), Reva Rice (Momma)              Notes: Filmed in portrait mode. You can't make out any faces but you can follow the action and the choreography quite well. Very good audio. Nice to see the changes for the 30th Anniversary of Starlight Express.

Audios-

1984 | West End |

Ray Shell (Rusty), Stephanie Lawrence (Pearl), Jeff Shankley (Greaseball), Jeffry Daniel (Electra),  Frances Ruffelle (Dinah), Lon Satton (Papa), Michael Stanifourth (CB)                                                                      Notes (not Masters notes): This is the only known capture of the original West End cast on stage. It’s not the full OC, as some characters, like Buffy and Dustin have different voices from the cast album, but I can’t verify which understudies they are. The sound is washed out, and there's a slight static sound, but it’s still understandable. I’d recommend this to any fan of the show!

Proshots-

1988 | West End |

Gary Cordice (Rusty), Kim Leeson (Pearl), Drue Williams (Greaseball), Maynard Williams (Electra), Beverley Braybon (Dinah), Shezwae Powell (Belle), Peter Reeves (Caboose)                                                                        Notes: Proshot, Quality is just alright, but there are separate cameras for the race scenes, which look great.

1988 | Bochum |

Steven M Skeels (Rusty), Maria J Hyde (Pearl), Trevor M Georges (Greaseball), Eric Clausell (Electra), Natalie Howard (Dinah), Trevor M Georges (Papa), Carol Hoffman (Buffy), Roslyn Howell (Ashley), Hans Johansson (Caboose), Garry Noakes (Dustin), Michael Rivera (Flattop), Wilton Anderson (Krupp), Christopher Todd (Purse), Janina Baucke (Joule), Louise Conte (Wrench), Leesa Osborn (Volta), Jens Klarskov (Ruhrgold), Hansgeorg Gantert (Turnov), Frido Ruth (Espresso), Allan Edwards (Bobo), Ric Mount (Hashamoto)                                                Notes: Pro-shot press rehearsal

September 8, 1996 | Las Vegas |

Greg Ellis (Rusty), Dawn Marie Church (Pearl), Ron DeVito (Greaseball)  Notes: Last show of the 1995-1996 cast. Pro-shot, filmed with one camera for the cast and crew. Repaired audio.

Now I don’t want this post to get taken down, so I can’t link it here. If you want the list, DM me and I’ll send it to you as soon as I can! I’ll keep the gifting open until Nov 10, and I don’t intend to open it again, so ask me while you can!

[potatoodles]

Day 17: CB

Today I will cause problems on purpose

favorite song the character is in: There’s Me has become very cute in recent times favorite actor for this character: Michael Staniforth was amazing and Ben Draper has mad cakes favorite ship with this character: CB/Rusty favorite thing about this character: He’s just a bastard for the sake of being a bastard. Will make you trip on purpose random headcanon: I rlly like headcanon that he’s hard of hearing  unpopular opinion: People who like “Cutesie murder gore CB”, ESPECIALLY adults who like it should just. not interact with minors on that topic cause y’all should realize gore is n/sfw and also should allow people who aren’t comfortable with that portrayal of him to live.

Timeline Project

Timeline Link:

Timeline pieces that were longer than 500 characters:

Carnival Against Capital 1999: On June 18, 1999, an international protest was held on the day that the Group of 8 (G8) held a summit in Köln, Germany. The Group of 8 (G8) was an international political network of the most wealthy countries in the world—it consisted of the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, and France—and would meet every year to discuss issues pertaining to globalization, such as economic growth and capitalism, security, and terrorism. What became known as the “J18 Carnival Against Capital” is perhaps one of the most powerful examples of transnational activist organizing the world has seen yet. More than 40 countries participated, with over 10,000 people storming the capitals of the UK and Nigeria alone. The idea to have this protest was conceived in the UK, almost a year prior, and aimed to connect people around the world in a diverse group of protesters, as well as show all those involved or watching that the issues faced by people in countries other than their own were not so different. The day of the protest did not go quite as planned—there had been the intent to confuse the police in London by dividing the crowd into groups—but it still had a massive effect, nonetheless, and received a lot of media coverage after it had ended. The day was full of marching, protesting, battling against the police, and graffiti. The Carnival Against Capital was a massive event that did not happen spontaneously or by accident. It was highly intentional and successful in leaving its mark on history.

Battle of Seattle 1999: The Seattle WTO Protests of 1999, aka Battle of Seattle, was a series of protests that took place at the end of the year in Seattle, WA and is designated as the birth of the anti-globalization movement. One of the first international movements that was put together over the internet. Involved marching, a virtual sit-in of the WTO website, and physically chaining people together in order to disrupt WTO proceedings of neoliberal trade negotiations that would have exploited nations in the Global South.

G8 Protests July 2001: In 2001, the G8 convened in Genoa, Italy and was met with one of the largest movement demonstrations in the world to protest globalization. From July 19 to July 21, 2001, a widely diverse group of over 300,000 people participated in things such as sit-ins, marches, and even an anarchist demonstration. The police defending the convention reacted brutally. Sit-in members were attacked with tear gas and were beaten and at more boisterous demonstrations, some people were shot with live guns, resulting in the death of at least one person. Police also stormed a building where protesters were sleeping, one night, and injured the majority of those present, leaving over half of them bloodied and unable to walk. Evidence was removed the following day. This violence police retaliation was almost fascist in nature, but only angered more people around the globe and spurred them to action.

Iraq War Protests 2003: On February 15, 2003, people in over 800 cities and on every continent participated in protests against Bush’s “War on Terror” in Iraq–even a group of scientists in Antarctica held a little rally of their own in solidarity). It included marching, chanting, and facing off with the police, with a particularly large group at the foot of the UN building in New York receiving a great deal of media coverage. With the voices of millions of people at their backs, as well as some dissent from Germany and France against the war, the “Uncommitted Six,” six countries of the Global South that had historically been dependent on the Global North–Angola, Mexico, Chile, Guinea, Cameroon, and Pakistan–stood up to the United States and the Bush administration and said that they would not support his unjust war. While the collective transnational actions that took place on this day did not end the so-called “War on Terror,” it did not go unnoticed and the sheer force of the protests and those behind it showed that Bush’s actions were a part of an unnecessary evil. It was called the world’s “second super-power.”

G20 Summit Protests of London 2009: The G20 protests of 2009 in London centered around the Group of 20’s summit meeting to discuss issues such as the global economy, climate change, and the “War on Terror” that still continues to rage today. Much like the “Group of 8,” the G20 is comprised of the most wealthy and economically powerful countries of the world, which leaves out the grand majority of the world’s people who would be affected by decisions made at these meetings. It focuses a great deal on “financial stability” on a global scale, but is responsible for contributing a great deal of money to IFIs, which keep nations with weaker economies in constant cycles of debt and poverty. The protests against the G20 2009 summit included the storming of an outpost of the Royal Bank of Scotland, launching missiles, and rallying the streets against the police who fought to put them down. Approximately 5,000 people took part. Later in the day, smaller numbers of protesters faced off against police officers decked in riot gear as those present threw anything they could find at the law enforcement and chanted. Surrounding them, the police did not let the protesters leave. In the aftermath of the event, over 100 people were found to have been injured and one man, named Ian Thomlinson, was killed by an officer after being thrown to the ground.

@catofstarlight, this one's for you!

Happy Starlight Express Appreciation Month!

Day 17: C.B. the Red Caboose

Craig Perry in the first picture, Thierry Gondet in the second picture, Oliver Rhoe Thorton in the fourth picture, Ben Draper in the fifth picture, and Kapa Kitchen in the sixth picture.

Favorite Actor: Kapa Kitchen, Todd Lester, Michael Eborall, Ben Draper, Dan Ellison, Oliver Rhoe Thorton

Face Claim: Thierry Gondet, Oliver Rhoe Thorton

Favorite Song/Scene: There's Me

Favorite Costume: Broadway, Bochum

Favorite Ship: Dinahboose

Headcanon: He has a pet axolotol.

Unpopular Opinion: I don't like it when he's portrayed as just plain crazy. When There's Me was cut from the show, it did an incredible disservice to his character, and I wish that he could be a complex character again. Don't get me wrong, CB being a Chaos Gremlin is fine, but it's just not as interesting.

[marastriker]

Freight Appreciation Week Day One: The Cabeese

@freightappreciationweek

AV (OLC)

He's my dad of the caboose family, he's a lot of fun but has no idea what discipline is. Too tired for crime at his age, but will encourage it. Maintains that funky mustache. Rat energy. Faceclaim: Michael Staniforth.

CB (the red thing)

The younger sibling with all the younger sibling energy. Once dragged a racoon through the house. Is just cute enough to get away with shit constantly. Out of touch with reality and has trouble making meaningful relationships. Faceclaim: a mix of Todd Lester and Ben Draper

BV (update caboose)

The older sibling, all of the responsibility, none of the fun. Shirked off responsibility as a kid because he wasn't born just to look after his creature of a brother. Smooth criminal, sly and charismatic, but a better person than he actually lets on. Faceclaim: Gary Sheridan

I would like to point out in advance that I'm not shitting on anyone's ships here. These are just mine.

My Starlight Ships

Prusty (Pearl/Rusty)

GreaseDinah (obvious)

Spaghetti Royale (Espresso/Prince)

Dustin and Duvay

Flat-Top and Romero (Romero is an OC but I want to make it clear I do not ship Flats with Dustin)

These next ships differ depending on which of my universes I'm in. So:

Carrie and Ruhrgold

Ashley and Buffy

My CB ships are a bit harder, as I have many different versions of him.

Squeezy (Michael Eborall) and Carrie

Golden (Thierry Gondet) and Ashley

Ellison, an ooc version of post-2018 Caboose (Dan Ellison) and Ashley

Bendy (Ben Draper) and circa 2017 Buffy

Purple (generic post-2018 Caboose) and Brandi.
