Starlight Express

Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Starlight Express" comes to Ireland for the very first time!
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash hit show “Starlight Express” embarks on a brand new journey in 2006 and comes to Ireland for the very first time for 4 weeks only. The Point Theatre will be alive with action from 26th July - 19th August 2006. Tickets, from €30, on sale now from usual outlets nationwide.

The new and re-designed production began its first ever UK tour in November 2004. This sensational musical spectacular enjoyed runaway success on its 2004/5 tour, thrilling audiences nationwide with its sheer energy, excitement and daring physicality.

David Ian (producer of the show and Chairman of Global Theatre for Live Nation) says, 'After the huge success we enjoyed last year, I’m thrilled to be playing even more theatres including Dublin’s Point Theatre in 2006 with one of Andrew Lloyd Webber's biggest ever hit shows - truly a family spectacular for everyone to enjoy.'

Simply light years ahead of the rest, this futuristic tale of the triumph of love and hope in the face of adversity is a feel good musical with something for everyone. Including over 20 of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s greatest songs and all the thrills and spills of roller racing action, “Starlight Express” brings audiences a performance with speed, spectacle and turbo-charged excitement.

The show is specially created by members of the show’s original creative team, including legendary designer John Napier (“Cats”, “Les Misérables”, “Miss Saigon”) and choreographer Arlene Phillips (“Grease”, “Saturday Night Fever”, BBC TV’s “Strictly Come Dancing” and “Strictly Dance Fever”). It also includes the exciting new element of cutting edge 3D technology by Julian Napier (“Cats”, “Time”, “We Happy Few”).

“Starlight Express” is one of the world’s longest running musicals. It opened at the Apollo Victoria Theatre on 27 March 1984, where it played to more than eight million people until its final performance on 12 January 2002. During its triumphant 18 years in the West End, the show took a staggering £140 million at the box office and achieved international success with productions in the USA on Broadway, in Las Vegas and on tour in Japan, Australia and Germany.
