Screening of the filmed live production of Starlight Express, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, at the QUAD cinema in Derby.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express is coming to QUAD on Thursday 3 December and Sunday 6 December. It's a filmed version of the stage show, so you get the full production on the big screen rather than a live cast in the room. The show follows Rusty, a steam train whose only hope of winning is inspired by the legend of the 'Starlight Express'. It's set to Andrew Lloyd Webber's music with lyrics by Richard Stilgoe, and the production is staged with a cast of around 40.
This particular version was filmed live at the specially designed Starlight Auditorium, which is built around the track the trains race on. It's a show that's been seen by more than 30 million people worldwide, and it's described as an electrifying experience for audiences of all ages, so it works as much for a family outing as it does for anyone who's always wanted to see it but hasn't made it to the theatre.
QUAD is a registered charity, and they reinvest their bar and cinema profits into their charitable work. They're also committed to accessible cinema, with descriptive subtitled screenings and audio description available whenever possible. They do a fair bit more than just screenings, too, with regular introductions, Q&As and film courses aimed at nurturing regional talent.
