Seen around the world by over 30 million people, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s STARLIGHT EXPRESS is now heading to Birmingham in 2027 following a record-breaking revival in London.

An electrifying experience for all ages, feel the rush in this ‘jaw-dropping’ (Daily Telegraph) production as an incredible cast whizzes by performing some of musical theatre’s most beloved songs, including AC/DC, Make Up My Heart, Light at the End of the Tunnel and the iconic Starlight Express.

As a child’s train set magically comes to life and the engines race to become the fastest in the world, Rusty the steam train has little hope of winning until he is inspired by the legend of the ‘Starlight Express’.

Get your skates on and race to see it!
