Starlight Express is one of the most audacious shows in West End history — a full-scale musical performed entirely on roller skates. Andrew Lloyd Webber's beloved race-track spectacular has been revamped for a thrilling new production at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, a purpose-built venue that wraps the action around the audience in a way that conventional theatres simply cannot match. The cast skates at breathtaking speed mere metres from your seat.
The Troubadour Wembley Park is easy to reach — Wembley Park tube station (Metropolitan and Jubilee lines) is just a short walk away, and the venue sits within the rapidly evolving Wembley Park neighbourhood. The sheer spectacle of the production puts it in the same league as the jaw-dropping staging of Back to the Future: The Musical for pure theatrical effects, while the family-friendly energy is reminiscent of the wholesome magic found at The Lion King.
For families looking to book London theatre tickets, Starlight Express delivers on every front: an irresistible pop-rock score, incredible athleticism from the cast, dazzling costumes and a story simple enough for young children to follow but spectacular enough to captivate every age. If your family also loves puppetry and spectacle, 101 Dalmatians at Eventim Apollo makes a great companion trip to the capital.
Whether you're revisiting a childhood favourite or discovering it for the first time, Starlight Express is a genuine event. Buy your tickets early — the best seats in the round sell out fast, and for good reason.
Starlight Express may also be showing at cinemas near you.
