A Lotta Locomotion

In April 1991 Starlight Express became the second longest running musical in London theatre history and there have been several productions world-wide since 1984 in the USA, Japan, Australia and Germany.

With lyrics by Richard Stilgoe and Don Black and choreography by Arlene Phillips, Starlight Express has been seen by almost 20 million people and gross box office world-wide is estimated at over £270 million.

In 1993 the entire creative team re-grouped to revise the show for a new generation. Five new songs were added, numbers were re-choreographed and the show was re-launched at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, London.

Starlight Express continues to race to packed houses in Bochum, Germany, where it plays in an especially adapted theatre, and an award winning new production was created to tour the UK in 2004.
