Starmania 1988 - 91
This version of the show, darker than the following ones, is considered by Michel Berger as the real second version (and the real update) of Starmania.
First performed at the Paris theater then at the Marigny theater over a period of four years.
DISTRIBUTION :
Norman Groulx / Renaud Hantson : Johnny Rockfort
Martine St-Clair / Nathalie Lermitte : Cristal
Maurane / Réjane Perry : Marie-Jeanne
Richard Groulx / Michel Pascal : Zéro Janvier
Sabrina Lory : Stella Spotlight
Renaud Hantson / Solal : Ziggy
Wenta / Bruna Giraldi : Sadia
Luc Laffite / Jean-Jacques Fauthoux : Roger-Roger
The French public will pleasantly welcome this late 80s style update, which does not seek to surpass the charisma of the original cast ( especially the untouchable Daniel Balavoine, who died in 1986 from a tragic helicopter accident )
The great success of the show led to a tour throughout France and five performances played in Russia ( apparently a real triumph ?) the non-French speaking spectators followed the show with small booklets translated into Russian .
Liners :
The 88 version had the right to its album , called by fans "l'édition rouge" but above all FINALLY a complete video recording !
A recording which has only one flaw the absence of Maurane. The revelation of the show, having left the troupe after eight months of performances, because of a terrible burn-out
Below the show (with english subs) :

ANECDOTES :
Réjane Perry, understudy and then replacement for Maurane, is no stranger to fans of French musicals! She is the very first nanny from Romeo and Juliet 2001
...
The Princess Lady Diana attending a whirlwind performance by the troupe during a visit to the Elysée :
...
Ziggy evolves in this version. he recovers the song “Enfant de la pollution ” previously sung by Johnny Rockfort and he is now no longer a rock dancer but a rock drummer
