Starlight Express Bochum
Starlight Express Theater
A roller-skating musical that has played continuously since 1988 in its own dedicated theatre in Bochum, a record-setting long-runner.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's roller-skating musical has been staged continuously since 1988 in a purpose-built theatre in Bochum. More than 18 million people have seen it, making it one of the longest continuously running musicals in a single theatre anywhere in the world. Performers on roller skates race around a circular track that cuts through the audience, with a thrilling pace. The show is performed in German, but the story is easy to follow. Advance booking is strongly recommended. The theatre is close to Bochum's Ruhrstadion.
