Top Sparx Students steam Ahead with a Trip to the Wembley Park Theatre

It was full steam ahead for our most dedicated Sparx Readers, as they earned their ticket to see Starlight Express at the Wembley Park Theatre; a reward for their exceptional engagement during last year’s Sparx Reader trial.

The performance was first-class, with dazzling roller-skating performances, energetic choreography and a trainload of catchy songs, Starlight Express transported us all into the world of magic and trains, where dreams really can come true.

Please enjoy some pictures of our visit, and a special video of the Megamix, performed at the end of the show!
