What is Starlight Express?
Starlight Express is a famous musical created by Andrew Lloyd Webber who is the same composer behind Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.
In this musical all the actors perform as trains, on roller skates and the storyline is like a giant race where different trains from around the world compete to be the fastest.
The show first opened in the 1980s and became known for its incredible skating stunts and futuristic set. The new London production at Wembley Park Theatre has updated the show with modern tech, new choreography, and even more impressive skating.
