★★★★★ “Lloyd Webber’s blockbuster makes a spellbinding return”   –  The Telegraph

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express – which opened this weekend at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre to huge critical acclaim across the media – has today extended booking through to June 2025.

Michael Harrison:

“Following the sensational response to Sunday’s Opening Night, and the huge critical acclaim for the show, I am thrilled to already be extending our run at Troubadour for a third time. Starlight Express has always brought a new generation into the theatre. From our very first performance, it’s been brilliant to see young and old come together to delight in Andrew and Richard’s iconic songs and the spectacular new setting in Wembley. There is overwhelming public demand for Starlight, and we are now releasing almost 150,000 new seats for sale. The race is on to get your tickets!”
