You've heard of Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS, now come see his musical about TRAINS! One of the liveliest rock/pop scores in Broadway history, it tells the story of Rusty the Steam Train, and his underdog attempting to defeat his rivals Greaseball and Electra and (and maybe get the attention of pretty first-class coach, Pearl, along the way)! It's a thrilling chase around and through the audience as a dozen trains race to decide who wins the title of the "Fastest Engine in the World!"
