24 hours after pre-sale period, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express extends bookings through to February 2025.
Due to overwhelming demand, 24-hours after tickets went on priority pre-sale and before the box office opens for general on-sale, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express has extended bookings through to February 2025.
Michael Harrison says: “Starlight Express is one of the most iconic musicals of the last 40 years, and I am thrilled that our new production has captured imaginations of all ages all over again. From yesterday’s presale alone, we are today immediately extending our booking period through until 16 February 2025. It’s always been the fastest show on earth….now it’s the fastest extension in theatre history!”
Seen by over 20 million people across the world, Starlight Express will make its triumphant return to London from 8 June 2024 at the specially designed Starlight Auditorium at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre.
A true theatrical event, Starlight Express will fully immerse audiences of all ages inside a world of speed, song and storytelling as an incredible cast of 40 whizz around and above, 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’.
