In the [[1984 London production|original London]] production, he was portrayed angrier and more jaded, as shown in "[[Call Me Rusty]] (If You Dare)". Subsequent productions portray him as a more optimistic, cheerful character, as shown in "[[Engine of Love]]" and "[[Crazy]]". |

+ | == Role == |
+ | Rusty is first seen leading the coaches onstage, where he is greeted by [[Greaseball]] and his [[Gang]]. They proceed to make fun of him, which leads him into "[[Call Me Rusty]]." Uninterested, Greaseball and the Gang depart, and Rusty is left behind with the coaches. They urge him not to race, in the interest of his own safety ("[[A Lotta Locomotion]]"), despite Pearl having previously agreed to race with him. Rusty appears again during "[[Freight]]", when he leads the freight trucks onstage. |
||
+ | The next time Rusty appears is during "[[Coda Freight|Coda of Freight]]", where he asserts that he is going to enter the race and win. He then tries to convince the coaches of his abilities ("[[Crazy]]") in hopes of getting a partner. |
||
− | [[File:D rusty.jpg|thumb|283x283px|left|Rusty - Broadway design 1987]]In the original London production, Rusty's costume was based on a stoker's dungarees and hat, with an open boiler on his chest and a coal tender on his back. He has pressure gauges on both doors, and his overalls are striped behind a decoration of black and brown. |
||
+ | In the original West End production, Pearl is left without a partner after "[[AC/DC]]". Rusty once again offers himself as her partner, but she refuses, stating that he can't whistle like the engine in her dreams. |
||
− | Originally, he had a round hat with a chinstrap, but this was removed for a cap during the 1992 revamp. He also has wheels on his kneeguards as well as on his thighs and wrists. |
||
+ | Later, Rusty approaches Poppa ("[[Rusty Why You Looking Sad|Rusty, Why You Looking Sad]]"), who urges him to race, but Rusty insists that he won't race without Pearl. In the original West End production, Poppa eventually convinces Rusty to race with Belle in the second heat. Subsequent productions have Poppa racing with Dustin, and Rusty agreeing to take Poppa's place after he gets worn out. Rusty then prays to the Starlight Express to help him ("[[Starlight Express (song)|Starlight Express]]"), ending the first act. |
||
⚫ | |||
− | [[File:Us87 finale.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Rusty - far left, in shiny, non-rusty costume]]When the musical went to Broadway, Rusty's costume was significantly redesigned. This time, he was red and black with riveted patches rather than striped overalls. The hat came off in favor of a sweatband, and his kneeguards were emblazened with the numbers 0503. The dungarees became bigger and railings were placed at the ends. He also had knitted warmers on his wrists. Since Broadway, this costume has been used in all subsequent productions. |
||
− | Interestingly, during the first half of the musical's Broadway run, Rusty not only had his Broadway costume, but after the Starlight Sequence, he had another costume that was of himself no longer rusty. It was pretty much the same design, but only all black and silver, making him unrecognisable with anyone at the train-yard. |
||
+ | At the beginning of act two ("[[The Rap: Hey You!|The Rap]]") Rusty confirms his intention to race, complaining that Pearl would be his girlfriend if he won the championship, and [[Caboose|the Red Caboose]] agrees to race with him. |
||
− | === Starlight On Ice === |
||
− | [[File:Ice97 Rusty Dinah 2.jpg|left|thumb|220x220px|Starlight On Ice Rusty and Dinah]] |
||
− | The short-lived Starlight On Ice production saw a complete redesign of Rusty's costume. He wore yellow and blue striped overalls over a red shirt. He had a large metal circle at front to represent a boiler, and he also wore a baseball backwards. This costume made him resemble that of the Haribo Kid. |
||
+ | Despite his assurances that he will help Rusty, Caboose betrays him during the uphill final by not taking off the breaks, causing Rusty to go slow. When the race is canceled, Rusty is unsure if he is going to race in the rerun. He is then visited by the Starlight Express itself, who explains that Rusty has had the power of the Starlight inside him all along ("[[Starlight Sequence]]"). |
||
− | === Make-Up === |
||
− | Rusty's make-up is generally relatively simple. Usually it consists of brown shadow under the eyebrows, and brown eyeliner on his eyes. He also has two crosses on his cheeks, and five painted rivets along his chin, with a single rivet on his nose. Recent productions gave him neon orange lipgloss for his lips and glittery orange powder on his cheeks. |
||
+ | In the end, Rusty decides to race with Dustin against Greaseball with Pearl and [[Electra]] with Caboose. During the race, Greaseball uncouples Pearl at high speed, sending her careening off the edge of the track. Rusty allows himself to fall behind to save her. Luckily for Rusty, Caboose causes Greaseball and Electra to crash, allowing Rusty to take the lead and win the championship. Despite [[Control]]'s insistence that he take a lap of honor, Rusty disappears, insisting that he must find Pearl. |
||
+ | Rusty finds Pearl, who now regrets abandoning him at the beginning of the races ("[[Only You]]", "[[Next Time You Fall In Love]]", or "[[I Do]]."). The two make up and share a kiss before they are surrounded by the rest of the cast for the end of the show ("[[Light at the End of the Tunnel|The Light At the End of the Tunnel]]", "[[Megamix]]"). |

Revision as of 13:11, 17 October 2021
Rusty is a young steam engine and the main protagonist of Starlight Express. He has big dreams of winning the championship railroad race and the heart of the beautiful Pearl.
Rusty is a steam shunter engine; His job on the railway is to move the rolling stock and assemble trains, but he is not designed for high speeds or long distances.
Personality
Rusty is kind and ambitious, but he is also naive and stubborn, which is apparent when Pearl rejects him and he refuses to race without her. The freight trucks and coaches are fond of him, but don't believe he is capable of winning the race. He has big ideas of who he is and who he wants to be, but he is left heart-broken when everyone, especially Pearl, ridicules him.
In some productions, he is portrayed as a hopeless dreamer, far inferior to his more advanced competitors. Other actors portray him as having the potential to become champion, but lacking the self-confidence. In the original London production, he was portrayed angrier and more jaded, as shown in "Call Me Rusty (If You Dare)". Subsequent productions portray him as a more optimistic, cheerful character, as shown in "Engine of Love" and "Crazy".
Role
Rusty is first seen leading the coaches onstage, where he is greeted by Greaseball and his Gang. They proceed to make fun of him, which leads him into "Call Me Rusty." Uninterested, Greaseball and the Gang depart, and Rusty is left behind with the coaches. They urge him not to race, in the interest of his own safety ("A Lotta Locomotion"), despite Pearl having previously agreed to race with him. Rusty appears again during "Freight", when he leads the freight trucks onstage.
The next time Rusty appears is during "Coda of Freight", where he asserts that he is going to enter the race and win. He then tries to convince the coaches of his abilities ("Crazy") in hopes of getting a partner.
In the original West End production, Pearl is left without a partner after "AC/DC". Rusty once again offers himself as her partner, but she refuses, stating that he can't whistle like the engine in her dreams.
Later, Rusty approaches Poppa ("Rusty, Why You Looking Sad"), who urges him to race, but Rusty insists that he won't race without Pearl. In the original West End production, Poppa eventually convinces Rusty to race with Belle in the second heat. Subsequent productions have Poppa racing with Dustin, and Rusty agreeing to take Poppa's place after he gets worn out. Rusty then prays to the Starlight Express to help him ("Starlight Express"), ending the first act.
At the beginning of act two ("The Rap") Rusty confirms his intention to race, complaining that Pearl would be his girlfriend if he won the championship, and the Red Caboose agrees to race with him.
Despite his assurances that he will help Rusty, Caboose betrays him during the uphill final by not taking off the breaks, causing Rusty to go slow. When the race is canceled, Rusty is unsure if he is going to race in the rerun. He is then visited by the Starlight Express itself, who explains that Rusty has had the power of the Starlight inside him all along ("Starlight Sequence").
In the end, Rusty decides to race with Dustin against Greaseball with Pearl and Electra with Caboose. During the race, Greaseball uncouples Pearl at high speed, sending her careening off the edge of the track. Rusty allows himself to fall behind to save her. Luckily for Rusty, Caboose causes Greaseball and Electra to crash, allowing Rusty to take the lead and win the championship. Despite Control's insistence that he take a lap of honor, Rusty disappears, insisting that he must find Pearl.
Rusty finds Pearl, who now regrets abandoning him at the beginning of the races ("Only You", "Next Time You Fall In Love", or "I Do."). The two make up and share a kiss before they are surrounded by the rest of the cast for the end of the show ("The Light At the End of the Tunnel", "Megamix").
