What is Starlight Express?
Starlight Express is a musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Richard Stilgoe. It is performed entirely on rollerskates, the characters are the engines, coaches and trucks of a toy train set, and what it lacks in plot it makes up for in wonderful music, bright lights, speed and amazing staging.
Where can I find lyrics/cast lists/photos?
The Really Useful Group seem determined that no one should be able to find lyrics online, so unfortunately you won't find them on any websites. Cast lists for every production can be found at Pearl's Domain. Check out the Pearl's Domain links page for lots of other exciting StExy sites to visit.
Where can I find and chat with other fans?
The fan club does not have its own forum or chatroom, and instead we encourage our members to use the other forums that are already available. These include:
The only current production of Starlight Express is in Bochum, in Germany. The official site for that production can be found at stella.de and has information about the show, and how to get tickets etc.
Do you have any information about the UK tour of Starlight Express?
Only that there probably will be one! Andrew Lloyd Webber wants to do Starlight Express in the round, and Richard Stilgoe wants to do it in stadiums. Information will be included in the newsletter as it becomes available.
Do you have any information about the Starlight Express video?
Again, only that there will be one. The Really Useful Group website says that filming begins this year, but the cast has yet to be confirmed. And again, information will be included in the newsletter as it become available.
