Starlight Express
11/7/98-14/7/98
11 July 1998 - STARLIGHT EXPRESS
I've got a new job starring in a local production of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Starlight Express. I got a bit confused when I went for my audition, thinking I was up for a role as a drug smuggler.
It turns out that Starlight Express has nothing to do with that, and isn't even set in Turkey - it's a little musical all about people who wear rollerskates and pretend to be trains. I haven't read to the end of the script yet, but I would imagine they either die, or get committed to a madhouse.
14 July 1998 - STARLIGHT EXPRESS
I've stopped being in Starlight Express, because I've just remembered that I've done that one before. Instead I've got a new job working in a poodle parlour called Pups In Cups. I don't know why it's called that: but it is!
You wouldn't believe some of the bizarre requests we get from customers; yesterday one lady asked us to tie six-foot stilts to her poodle's legs, and fit a tumble dryer hose over its head. Apparently she planned to enter him into a giraffe competition.
