The story

Rusty, a brave steam engine, finds himself locked in a high-stakes competition against Greaseball, a ruthless diesel spewing fumes of arrogance, and Electra, a sleek electric powerhouse. Their ultimate prize? The coveted affection of Pearl, a glamorous observation car. But amidst the screech of metal wheels and the roar of engines, a deeper question lingers: can a love story survive in a world obsessed with speed and victory? Will Rusty defy the odds and capture Pearl's heart? Book your tickets to Starlight Express in London and discover the answer for yourself.

A brilliant performance. Booking from overseas was easy and straight forward. All the information we needed from booking to finding the theatre to updates was there on Headout. Thank you.

We used the Headout app for the first time for our activities in London and were initially unsure whether everything would work with the ticket display on site. But everything worked wonderfully and without any problems. The directions were also very helpful and good, so we got to the venue without getting lost. The musical Starlight Express was just great! Music, costumes, planned encores, on-site catering - just great. We can only recommend both the app and the musical.

Ticketing worked very well. We particularly enjoyed having dinner at Studio5 and just walking to our seats in Carriage 2 for an exciting performance. I saw Starlight Express in the West End twenty years ago and found this update both charming and appropriate. You might consider warning ticket patrons about the possibility of having to return by tube to central London with the crowd from Wembley Stadium. That was a bit daunting but ultimately worked just fine due to good behavior by the masses and restraint by the fans dissapointed at England's loss to Greece.

It was a fabulous performance and the actors were exceptionnel. Ticketing was easy and did work without any issue. Even though I bought 4 tickets, which were only available on Mobile phone. I did not rate it highest due to the fact that aircondition and cooling were too strong. Watching the show was only possible when keeping the coat on. A bit warmer would have helped.
