It's race night! Take your seats for the world championship railroad race. Who will win? Will it be diesel? Will it be electric? Or will it be steam?
Starlight Express is a musical unlike any other. It's a rock 'n' roll spectacular, a sporting event, and – at its heart – a simple, hopeful love story. Will Rusty, the simple steam shunter, ever win the heart of the beautiful new girl Pearl?
Starlight Express is written by Andrew Lloyd Webber (music) and Richard Stilgoe (lyrics). It was first produced in 1984 in London's West End and has been produced all over the world since then – it's been running in Germany for 30 years and counting!
