The Curious Case of Benjamin Button | Exclusive prices 

A hauntingly beautiful tale told with warmth, wonder, and a distinct folk-infused charm, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of the most moving new musicals to hit the West End in years. Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story follows the extraordinary life of a man who ages backwards - born old, growing younger with time - and the impossible love he finds along the way. The musical, set against the backdrop of a Cornish fishing town, reimagines the tale with atmospheric storytelling and a spellbinding original score.

Fresh off its Olivier Award wins for Best New Musical and Best Actor in a Musical, Benjamin Button is quietly revolutionary. It’s a show that lingers with you long after the curtain falls, asking big questions about time, identity, and the fleeting nature of human connection. The ensemble cast is phenomenal, shifting seamlessly between roles with effortless grace, and the onstage folk band adds a deeply emotional resonance to every note. For those seeking something profound and poetic this Easter, Benjamin Button is a rare and beautiful gem in the West End crown.

London’s theatre scene isn’t just about the West End, and Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre proves just that. Opened in 2019 in the heart of Wembley Park, this state-of-the-art performance space has quickly become a hub for large-scale productions and immersive experiences. Housed in the former Fountain Studios, once home to The X Factor, this adaptable venue offers cutting-edge technology and a flexible seating layout, making it a unique destination for theatre lovers.

Currently, it is home to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical Starlight Express, an electrifying, high-energy show where actors race around the stage on roller skates. With a history of award wins, including an Olivier Award for Best Musical, it’s the perfect spectacle for a venue as innovative as this one.

What are the best seats at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre?

The seating plan for Starlight Express is truly one-of-a-kind, mirroring the high-speed energy of the show. Here’s how the sections breakdown:

First Class Carriages (1-4) – These are in-the-round, closest to the central stage, putting you right in the middle of the action. If you want to be fully immersed, these seats offer the best and most interactive experience.

Platform 1 and Platform 2 – Located just outside the First Class Carriages, these seats offer a fantastic view of the racetrack, where performers whizz past at high speed. If you want to feel the rush of the action but still have a slightly wider perspective, these seats are a great choice.

Locomotive Seats – Positioned higher up like a traditional Circle or Balcony, these seats give you a bird’s-eye view of the entire stage and track. If you prefer seeing the full spectacle from above, this section is ideal.

Trackside 1 and Trackside 2 – Also located on the same level as the Locomotive seats but positioned on the far sides, these seats offer a unique angle of the show. While they may not provide a central perspective, they still offer an exciting view of the action.

For a fully immersive experience, First Class Carriages are unbeatable, while Platform 1 and 2 give a thrilling trackside view. If you prefer a wider vantage point, Locomotive seats might be the best pick.

How many seats are at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre?

Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre can hold up to 2,000 audience members, depending on its configuration. The venue’s flexible seating plan means that the capacity varies depending on the production.

Are there accessible seats at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre?

Yes! Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre is fully accessible, with step-free access throughout most areas. There are dedicated wheelchair spaces, and an infrared hearing enhancement system is available for those with hearing impairments. For specific accessibility needs, it’s always best to contact the venue in advance.

What shows are on at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre?

Right now, Starlight Express is taking over the stage in all its high-speed, high-energy glory. Featuring an electrifying rock score and dazzling choreography, this iconic Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is unlike anything else on stage. With performers skating at breakneck speeds around the audience, the show’s innovative staging has made it an award-winning spectacle and a must-see event.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s turbo-charged, high-octane spectacular, Starlight Express, has extended its run for the fifth time at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre! The unstoppable train just won’t slow down, with tickets now available all the way through Sunday 1 March 2026.

This electrifying production, which opened to rave reviews last June, has been dazzling audiences and scooping up trophies at full speed. It recently dominated the WhatsOnStage Awards, snatching up seven awards, including the coveted Best Musical Revival, and three Olivier Award nominations!

And that’s not all, prepare for some thrilling new additions to the locomotive lineup! Starting Wednesday 11 June 2025, Starlight Express welcomes: Gavin Adams as Rusty, Sophie Naglik as Pearl, Olivia Ringrose as Greaseball, Asher Forth as Electra, and Georgia Pemberton as Dinah.

They join the stellar Jade Marvin as Momma McCoy and Jaydon Vijn as Hydra, along with Jamie Addison, Jessie Angell, Ollie Augustin,  Evan Taylor Benyacar,  Charles Butcher,  Cletus Chan, Tamara Verhoven Clyde, Jamie Cruttenden, Kelly Downing, Isaac Edwards, Maddy Erzan-Essien, Sam Gallacher, Lucy Glover, Scott Hayward, Dante Hutchinson, Iwan James, Lewis Kidd, Hannah Kiss, Nicole Louise-Lewis, Bethany Rose Lythgoe, Jessica Niles, Temi Olawole, Harrison Peterkin, RED, Ashley Rowe, Nicky Wong Rush, Charlie Russell, Gary Sheridan, Lara Vina Uzcatia and Amber Weston, who whizz, race, and soar around the stage, and through the audience. 

The 25th Annual WhatsOnStage Awards rolled into the London Palladium yesterday (9th February 2025), celebrating a quarter-century of theatrical excellence. Leading the charge was Andrew Lloyd Webber's Starlight Express, which steamed ahead with seven awards, including Best Musical Revival and Best Professional Debut for Jeevan Braich. This impressive haul mirrors last year's success of another Lloyd Webber classic, Sunset Boulevard, which also basked in the glow of seven awards. Clearly, the maestro has a knack for hitting the right notes with theatregoers year after year.

In a twist that seems plucked from a sci-fi script, former Doctor Who co-stars David Tennant and Freema Agyeman both clinched acting accolades for their roles in Shakespearean revivals. Tennant, best known for his time-traveling exploits as the Tenth Doctor, won Best Performer in a Play for his portrayal of Macbeth. Meanwhile, Agyeman, who journeyed alongside him as companion Martha Jones, secured Best Supporting Performer in a Play for her role as the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. It's almost as if their stellar performances were written in the stars—or perhaps in the time vortex.

The evening also saw Imelda Staunton take home the award for Best Performer in a Musical for her dazzling turn in Hello, Dolly! The West End will be saying "hello" to her again soon, as she's set to star alongside her real-life daughter, Bessie Carter, in mother-and-daughter drama Mrs. Warren's Profession. Talk about method acting!

Layton Williams, who is currently making waves as the Iceberg in Titanique, was honored with Best Takeover Performance as the Emcee in Cabaret. 

Just call us Francis Bourgeois, because we’re obsessed with trains. Though we prefer the singing ones to those on South Western. Our top tip for any budding spotters out there? Head to Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre. Not only is it a regular service unencumbered by delays and signal failures, you’re guaranteed a (emotional) journey of a lifetime. 

In an attempt to make everyday life as stagey as possible, we’ve reimagined the beloved trains and carriages from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic musical as underground lines. Well, you've got to have a hobby, right?

Greaseball (Northern Line)

Tricksy and domineering, Greaseball is the Northern Line. Contrary to its name, the Northern Line doesn’t serve the most northern stations on the network. In fact, 31 of its stops are south of the River Thames, including the most southerly station on the Underground system, Modern. Basically, you can’t trust it, much like the arrogant antagonist. 

Serving 206,734,000 passengers per year, the Northern Line is the busiest in the capital, and Greaseball is just as popular. Despite Greaseball's many flaws, they still have a legion of loyal subjects who will follow them wherever they go (and whatever track they’re on).

Just as the Northern Line stretches across many key parts of London, Greaseball's influence and confidence extends across the entire racetrack. Greaseball’s aggressive nature often leads to conflicts and crashes, while the Northern Line is regularly responsible for causing disruptions, delays and dizzy tourists (who realise they’re heading in the opposite direction to where they thought they were going…) 

Electra (DLR)

Is there anything more futuristic than a driverless train? No. Is there anyone more futuristic than Electra in Starlight Express? No.  

Both represent cutting edge technology and modernity. Electra, the sleek and futuristic electric engine, embodies speed, efficiency, and a forward-looking attitude. The DLR also looks ahead (as can the passengers on it, who are able to see through the front window, thanks to the train's automated, driverless nature). It’s always forward-thinking, with planning for the branch to Bank well underway before the other branches even opened way back in 1987. 

Just as Electra is a bit of an outsider compared to the more traditional engines, the DLR operates in areas not covered by the main Underground lines, carving its own unique path through the city. It not only serves above ground, speeding over the Thames (twice), but it also delves to the deepest platforms on the network, Bank. 

They’re also fashion conscious. Electra is one of the most striking engines on the circuit, and Langdon Park DLR has been decorated by three works of art by artist Kate Davis.

Rusty (Bakerloo Line)

Reliable, traditional, and with a rich sense of history, Rusty is the Bakerloo Line. Rusty, the steam engine, is the heart of the story, embodying an old-fashioned yet enduring spirit in a world rapidly moving towards high-tech speed. Similarly, the Bakerloo Line, which first opened in 1906 and has the oldest trains on the London Underground, serves as a steadfast link through key areas of the city, holding its own against the newer, faster lines. Although both are still appreciated and popular, (Bakerloo serves more than 111 million passengers each year), neither receive the maintenance they need. Rusty is mocked for being ‘obsolete’ and the Bakerloo line (unlike the musical) hasn’t been given an extension since the 1930s.

One of the youngest engines in the race, Rusty is often seen as a baby by Greaseball and the more mean-spirited engines. The first baby to be born on the London Underground was on the Bakerloo line at Elephant and Castle in 1924. Coincidence? Yes, but it’s an interesting fact.

Both Rusty and the Bakerloo Line may not be the flashiest or the fastest, but they are reliable, embodying a quiet strength that proves its worth over time. Just as Rusty’s persistence and belief in himself ultimately lead him to victory, the Bakerloo Line’s consistent service and historical significance make it a cherished part of London’s transport network, beloved for its reliability and connection to the past.

Starlight Express is rolling back to London in summer 2024! Three abandoned projects (including the book series that created Thomas the Tank Engine) later and Starlight Express was born. In spite of finding its beginnings in failed endeavours, the story of an obsolete steam engine named Rusty and his conquest to win the championships, and the heart of Pearl (a first-class observation car), has become the one of the longest running shows in the West End. It has also become Germany’s most successful musical and even reaped a mighty Guinness World record.

Get your roller skates ready for the Starlight Express revival at The Starlight Auditorium at London's Troubadour Wembley Park, a state-of-the-art cultural destination. Tickets are coming soon!
