Andrew Lloyd Webber and Richard Stilgoe's musical in which performers sing and act on roller skates, based on a child's train set.
Starlight Express is coming to Odeon Stoke from 26 to 29 November, with the show running across four dates in late November. It's the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Richard Stilgoe, and if you've never seen it, the main thing to know is that the performers sing and act on roller skates. That's not just a bit of choreography; it's the whole show built around it.
The story follows a child's train set that comes to life, with the characters being the trains themselves. Because they're on skates, the action moves fast across the stage, and the singing and acting happen while they're on the roll. It's a very specific kind of production, and seeing it in person is the only way to really get how it works.

It's playing at Odeon Stoke, on Etruria Road in Etruria, Hanley, ST1 5SN. The run starts on 26 November and goes through to 29 November, so you've got a few dates to choose from if you're planning a trip into town. It's a short run, only four days, so it's worth checking the dates early if you're thinking of going.
