Captain Starlight (German Edition)

About Frank Zander

She is an observation car, although in Germany , she is referred to as a "First Class Car". Rusty the Steam Engine is madly in love with her. Pearl is young, naive and innocent, and also very new to the railway. She has a lack of experience which is discovered throughout the events of the evening.

She agrees, or has agreed, to race with Rusty without any apparent understanding of how seriously everyone else takes race partners: Pearl is generally interpreted onstage in one of two possible ways, depending on actress - either she is incredibly naive and easily distracted, thoughtless but well intentioned - or else she is a cold-hearted, callous and careless person. If she was so over-excited and carried away she never considered how her actions would affect those around her, until after the final race when both Electra and Greaseball have turned on her and abandoned her, then she can be seen as a sweet, foolish young girl.

However if she is played as more knowing, stringing Rusty along till someone better presents himself, deliberately deciding to pick Electra over Rusty, deliberately taking Dinah's boyfriend Greaseball, to only notice Rusty when he saves her at the final, then she appears selfish and heartless. Originally Pearl was searching for her dream train He Whistled At Me , which reflects modern day fairy-tales of princesses always searching for their princes. She doesn't accept Rusty as her dream train, and partners with first Electra, then Greaseball for the time being while she still searches.

When the two villains leave her to die however, Rusty saves her and she realizes that Rusty has been her dream train: In all other productions, she is happy with Rusty as her partner Engine of Love. This leaves her in a dilemma to decide who to go with Make Up My Heart. Electra is new, clean, shiny, and stylish.

However, she had been with Rusty long enough to know that he is nice, and he had asked her first. She accepts racing with Electra thinking that it doesn't matter who she went with. She later partners up with Greaseball Pearl Twirl , still thinking it didn't matter. Pearl only believes that it's all in fun and tells Dinah to "quit crying.

Both Greaseball and Electra had tormented Rusty after the Uphill Final, in the downhill final Greaseball used her as a block against Electra's attacks, Greaseball uncouples her during the race leaving her to fall off the track and die. Rusty was the only one who cared for her and he had saved her from sudden death.

Captain Starlight, or Gentleman of the Road

After realizing her mistakes Only You , she couples up with Rusty, who forgives her. The two then couple up, and in earlier productions, share a hug, or in recent years, a kiss. In the original London production, when Rusty asks Pearl to be his race partner, she rejects him, explaining that she has "a train I dream about, an engine moved by steam. She instead accepts Electra as her partner in the second heat for the time being until she finds her dream train.
