Starlight Express
In the early 1980s, drawing inspiration from R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, rap and country and western music for his upbeat score, Lloyd Webber took those initial songs and ideas and composed a full length musical about trains. Eventually, he teamed up with lyricist Richard Stilgoe, expanding upon the concept of his lifelong fascination with trains and Starlight Express came to life.

What they loved
- Original concept, great costumes
- The fact that it was on roller skates and you could be sat in the middle of the race track. Saw this show many times growing up, I wish they would bring it back in its original form.
- This show has songs for everyone whatever style of music you like.first saw it at 8 years old and collected roller skaters autographs (and hi fives as they went around the track)
- Great updated production - very high-octane and just joyous!!
- They are on roller skates!
- A fun, high energy show with some good songs and a really diverse range of characters - the new Hydrogen train, Hydra, and his song were definitely my favourite part! The production design of the current Wembley production, including the set, lighting, and costumes, is incredible and highly immersive no matter where you are sat.

What they didn't enjoy
- nothing
- As with Cats, this didn't translate quite as well to the smaller stage but they did a good job with some film effects
- It is heavily geared towards kids, so the plot is bland and predictable. Some of the songs are pretty boring and don't have the best lyrics.
