It was simply a happy place to be. Everyone including the actors, staff, and audience were just happy to be there to enjoy this classic performance. We have seen it before in the 90s but the stage work, lighting and costumes are so much better. Loved it. Glad I didn't miss it. I booked for the night before but couldn't make it, so bought tickets again for the next night so it cost me twice as much to come but no regrets there. Thanks for such a great evening.

The musical was truly impressive—there was absolutely nothing to complain about in terms of sound and lighting, and the view from the various seats was excellent. The only criticism concerns the room temperature—despite wearing a winter jacket, it was still very cold and uncomfortable.

The tilt of the theater means there are almost no bad seats in he house! There are affordable beverages and snack available at intermission and before the performance starts. The staff was delightful! The preference was amazing as you might assume, and easy to follow for those of us who knew little about it before hand! If you don't live in London a show here should definitely be on your list!

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express is returning with a fresh take from director Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, The Little Big Things). In Webber's Tony and Olivier-nominated masterpiece, trains come alive in a high-octane race for glory. 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.

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
