A special theatre, just for Starlight Express, was built in Bochum 28 years ago, to create a suitable venue for a musical on roller skates. It has been running there ever since and is one of the longest running musicals ever with the greatest number of people through.
After a sumptious dinner which included white asparagus (just coming into season here and the Germans go nuts over it) prepared by Barry's friend in science, we all went off to the show. Although we couldn't understand the words it was an amazing performance combining rock music, fantastic lighting effects and of course actors on roller blades representing trains, singing, and zooming round the theatre over about 3 levels and doing acrobatics. Did I mention the amazing costumes??!!!
