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!

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.

Great experience for my wife and I as we are both registered disabled. The young lady at the door went well out of her way to make our night go smoothly as this was my 65th birthday present. Thank you so much and the performance was amazing.

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!

Starlight Express review >

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.

The show was absolutely amazing!!! The actors couldn't have been better. The only negative point was the air conditioning, which was freezing cold.
