Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express: Live on Stage is coming to UK and Ireland cinemas later this month. Captured live at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, the Olivier Award-winning 2024 revival win play in cinemas for a limited time only.
Starlight Express is making a comeback but this time on the silver screen. Arriving in cinemas on 26 November 2026, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express: Live on Stage will let fans relive the live event, or perhaps see it for the first time. Captured live at the Starlight Auditorium at London’s Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, the filmed event features the cast of the acclaimed 2024 revival.
The production opened to widespread critical acclaim in June 2024 at the Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, and included a brand-new song, Hydrogen, by Andrew Lloyd Webber and original lyricist Richard Stilgoe.
It has since won multiple awards, including an Olivier Award and a record seven WhatsOnStage Awards, and is London’s longest-running revival of an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical in 20 years. A world tour is planned for 2027.
