If you haven't already, now is the perfect time to immerse yourself in the electrifying spectacle of Starlight Express. This high-energy musical returned to London for the first time in 40 years last summer. It brings a child’s toy train set to life, transforming it into a dazzling race where steam, diesel, and electric engines battle to prove who is the fastest in the world. At its heart is Rusty, a humble steam train determined to prove his worth against sleek, modern rivals—fueled by hope, heart, and the legendary power of the Starlight Express.
The production also announces it is booking through to 1 March 2026.
