The roller-skating musical Starlight Express, filmed live at the Starlight Auditorium in Wembley, is screened at The Odyssey Cinema.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express comes to The Odyssey Cinema on Thursday 26 November, a filmed production of the roller-skating musical. It's not a live show in the room, but a recording of the production from Wembley's Starlight Auditorium, so you get the full stage show on the big screen without having to make the trip into London.
The story is a child's train set brought to life, centred on Rusty, a steam engine inspired by the legend of the Starlight Express. It's a cast of 40 on skates, and the whole thing runs for 123 minutes. The music is by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Richard Stilgoe, and it's rated PG, so it works as a family outing as much as a night out for musical fans. The show has been seen by more than 30 million people worldwide, so it's one of those titles that's had a long run far beyond its original stage life.
This particular production was filmed at the specially designed Starlight Auditorium at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, and the cast includes Jeevan Braich, Jade Marvin, Olivia Ringrose, Asher Forth, Sophie Naglik and George Jones, with Brett Sullivan directing. The filming captures the skating and the scale of the set, which is the whole point of the show, so seeing it in a cinema is a fair way to experience it if you're not in the West End.
