About Starlight Express
Starlight Express is Andrew Lloyd Webber's exhilarating musical performed entirely on roller skates — and it's back in London for the first time in decades. The story follows Rusty, a little steam engine who dreams of winning the big race against the modern electric and diesel engines. With the help of the mysterious Starlight Express, Rusty discovers that believing in yourself is the most powerful engine of all.
The Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre has been specially designed with ramps, loops and tracks that send the skaters flying through and around the audience at breathtaking speed. This completely reimagined production features new orchestrations, stunning lighting and choreography that will have you gripping your seat. It's a sensory spectacular that children and adults alike will never forget.
