why do you think flat-top has (up until the 2024 london revival) remained as apart of the freight lineup when other characters have been cut compleatey (caboose in new starlight) or changed (rockies/hip hoppers, cb/caboose/bv)?

should there be specific racial casting for starlight express in proffesional productions? (eg. poppa should only be played by a someone of african decent because of aspects musically and contextually of his character). or should casting rremain colour blind?

discussion point !!

do you consider starlight express 'woke'? or could certain productions be considered 'woke'?

admin note: i use the term 'woke' very loosely in this question, as the word's usage generally divertfrom its definition to be used in a negative context !! n this context i use it to explore both a positive contexts (is the show socially progressive for it's audiences contexts?)
