Over 100 members enjoyed the trip to see Starlight Xpress at Wembley.
This 'special' event was certainly worth waiting for! The purpose-built Troubadour Theatre staged a high-octane performance with trains (skaters) whizzing around the track at great speed.
"Starlight Express" is a musical that tells the story of a child's train set that magically comes to life. The various engines compete to become the "Fastest engine in the World." The underdog, Rusty the Steam train, dreams of becoming the champion but is belittled by Greaseball, an arrogant diesel train, and Electra, the new electric engine. Encouraged by Poppa, an aging steam train, Rusty turns to the legend of the "Starlight Express" for help. With her assistance, Rusty realizes he has the power to win deep inside himself and ultimately defeats his arch-rivals, winning the heart of the lovely first-class coach, Pearl.
A memorable show which everyone enjopyed.
