Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express - Event Cinema

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express comes to the Weymouth Pavilion on Friday 18 December, as an event cinema screening of the show live on stage. It's the one that's always been a bit of a talking point because of the roller-skating, and this is a filmed version of the production rather than a live cast performing in the room.

The show was filmed at the specially designed Starlight Auditorium at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, where a cast of around 40 brings together Andrew Lloyd Webber's music and Richard Stilgoe's lyrics. The story is a simple one: a child's train set magically comes to life and the engines race to become the fastest in the world. Rusty, a steam train with little hope of winning, is inspired by the legend of the Starlight Express. It's a production that's been seen by more than 30 million people worldwide, so it's a familiar one for many.

This particular cast is led by Jeevan Braich, Jade Marvin, Olivia Ringrose, Asher Forth, Sophie Naglik and George Jones, with Brett Sullivan directing. The cinema screening runs 2 hours and 3 minutes and is rated PG, so it works as a family outing if that's what you're after. It's showing in the Main Auditorium, with tickets at £15 and a 7pm start on the Friday night.
