The Plot of Starlight Express

Starlight Express as a show has changed a lot over the years. The plot has mutated and developed, characters have been lost and gained, and the show that is currently playing in London is quite different from that which is currently playing in Bochum, or indeed from the show that started out in London back in 1984.

Consequently, I have here three different versions of the plot. The first is the original story that was used in the original London show. The second is the plot to 'Starlight on Ice', the touring production that ran briefly in 1997. The third is the plot of the current London show, after it was rewritten in 1992.
