Starlight Express picks up the pace impressively for the most sparkling of feel-good finales - a show which really does reward early patience.

Unless you are already a devotee, you might well find yourself struggling with an opening half an hour which leaves you wondering what on earth you have let yourself in for.

But, particularly in the second half, the tracks converge nicely for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s bizarre concoction of trains, dreams, roller-skates and a little bit of Cinderella.
