Summary of the musical Starlight Express:
Starlight Express follows the dream of a nine year old boy. In her dream, her toy trains come to life for a spectacular race across America. Competition between steam, electric and diesel engines is fierce. The machines come from France, Russia, Germany, Japan, etc.
Rusty, a little steam engine with a heart of gold, can she win the race?
All the actors are on rollerblades and the scenography always includes a large arena so that the performers can sing, dance and roll at the same time! The show is entirely sung and has been playing since 1988 in Bochum, Germany.
