Why watch Starlight Express

Enjoy favorites like Pumping Iron and Only He (or Only You), alongside some exciting updates – including a feminist twist on a beloved song. This revival of Starlight Express holds a deeper meaning for Lloyd Webber, a heartfelt tribute to his late son whose childhood love of trains sparked the show's creation. Don't miss this chance to experience a timeless classic reimagined for a new generation!

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.

Starlight Express was absolutely fantastic. An amazing show from the moment you step through the door right through to the end of the show. The actors are incredible and the music is wonderful. Can't recommend this show enough. Amazing.

Such a unique, high-energy experience! Brought my 8 year old daughter and we both loved the costumes, the music, the (admittedly strange) plot...the actors were so animated and interactive with the audience. Doesn't seem like there was a bad seat in the house! A bonus spying Sir Lloyd Weber discreetly exit during the final applause!

I found it very easy to book the tickets on line. It was a birthday treat from me to my daughter and her boyfriend. The show was even better than the one I saw years ago with my mum. We all enjoyed the show immensely.
