On June 4th, my exchange partner and I went to see the musical Starlight Express. Before going in the theater, I bought some souvenirs and some drinks. The theater was very different and impressive because the stage went all around the audience, not just in the front. The theater was covered in train tracks and colorful lights. This musical was special because it was performed on roller skates.
The story was about trains racing against each other, and each actor played a different type of train. Even though the show was in German, I could still understand what was going on because of the acting and movements.
The lights and sound effects made everything more exciting. The actors skated really fast, even right past us, which made it fun to watch. The music was loud and very catchy, and the costumes were colorful and futuristic.
After the show, we met up with some friends that were also there and talked about how much we enjoyed the show. I was impressed about how different this musical was compared to other musicals I have seen. I didn’t know what to expect from this musical, but it turned out to be one of the most fun parts of my trip.
