Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express - Live On Stage

Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express is coming to the Connaught Theatre in Worthing on Thursday 26 November at 8:00pm, with a second screening on Saturday 12 December at 12:45pm. It's a big-screen showing of the stage production, which was filmed live at the specially designed Starlight Auditorium at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre. The whole thing runs for 143 minutes, and the Saturday matinee is BSL interpreted.

The story follows Rusty, a steam train inspired by the legend of the Starlight Express, as a child's train set comes to life and the engines race to become the fastest in the world. It's a PG show, so it works for all ages. The music is by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Richard Stilgoe, and the production has been seen by more than 30 million people worldwide. The Worthing screenings are billed as an electrifying experience for all ages.

On screen, you'll see Brett Sullivan's direction and a cast of around 40, starring Jeevan Braich, Jade Marvin and Olivia Ringrose. Because it was filmed live at the Starlight Auditorium, you get the full stage production brought to the big screen rather than a recorded version of a touring show. It's the same production that's played to those millions of people, just in a cinema setting here in town.

Tickets start from £11, with a £0.75 transaction fee on top. You've got two dates to choose from: the evening of Thursday 26 November at 8:00pm, or the Saturday 12 December matinee at 12:45pm, with the latter being the BSL interpreted screening.
