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.

I live in Germany and saw Starlight Express for the first time 33 years ago in Bochum. I was so enthusiastic back then that I have been back 8 times over the years. Unfortunately, the quality got worse and worse. So I flew to London for the Starlight Express. I was gripped from the very first second, the great voices, the joy of the actors and the staging and the update of the sets and costumes to the present day, in which the world has become more diverse, faster and lonelier, gave me goose bumps. PEARL brought tears to my eyes with emotion. I would like to thank the entire cast for this fantastic evening. It will stay in my heart for a very long time.Anne

It was a superb show. The singing was great and so was all aspects of it. Will certainly use Headout again for booking tickets.

We first saw Starlight 30 years ago. The update is even better. Ticketing experience was fine. Would have like a "print ticket" option.

Successful modernized production of the musical. Beautiful music, great voices, incredible stage. Would go again in a heartbeat. The location of the theater is also easy to reach by public transport.
