A child’s train set magically comes to life in this Cinderella story following Rusty the Steam train. Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics by Richard Stilgoe Additional lyrics by David Yazbek A child’s train set magically comes to life and the various engines compete to become the “Fastest-engine in the World!” The underdog, Rusty the Steam train, has little chance until he is inspired by the legend of the “Starlight Express.” He ultimately defeats his arch-rivals Greaseball and Electra before going on to win the hand of the lovely first class coach, Pearl. As with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s catchy score features an eclectic mix of musical styles. The Definitive version of Starlight Express is now available to schools, colleges and universities. This is the incarnation of the show that you’ll have recently seen on tour in the U.K., which includes the new song “I do” and the full “Megamix.” The classic moments of the musical still remain, such as “U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D.,” “Rolling Stock,” “Pumping Iron” and “AC/DC.” Although the Tony-nominated tuner was originally staged on roller skates, schools have performed it with scooters, heelys…and simply feet! Whichever way you choose to mount Starlight Express, this is the fastest and most dynamic musical you will ever experience, and truly is a show with something for everyone.
