What is STARLIGHT EXPRESS about?
This production is a true theatrical event that immerses audiences of all ages inside a world of speed, song, and storytelling. Audiences will experience a cast of 40 whizzes around and above them whilst performing some of musical theatre's most beloved songs, including 'Light at the End of the Tunnel' and the iconic title song, 'Starlight Express'.
STARLIGHT EXPRESS tells the story of a child's train set which magically comes to life. The engines race to become the fastest in the world, but Rusty the steam train has little hope of winning until he is inspired by the legend of the 'Starlight Express'.
