The jumping, jiving, dancing, drumming, singing African musical sensation.

An explosive, joyous, riotous night of theatrical football! It’s in a league of its own!

A sizzling hot, non-stop, all-action, feel-good dance musical



Set to pounding African beats, thirty high-energy performers re-tell the action-packed tale of one boy’s pursuit of the ultimate footballing dream, from the backstreets of a Zimbabwe township to triumph in South Africa.

It’s a tense, taught story, fraught with danger, drama and adventure. It’s the beautiful game as it’s never been seen before. It’s Zambezi Express: the incredible all-singing soccer show that’s in a league of its own.

The Zambezi Express is one of the great steam railway journeys of the world, which threads its way over many days across the mountains, deserts and plains of Africa for thousands of miles. For a boy named Zilli, born in the slums of a mining township in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, it offers hope, escape, and a journey to fulfil a footballing dream in the big city.

This is the tale that underpins ZAMBEZI EXPRESS, an extraordinary, pulsating new show which has its roots in the heart of Africa, which strangely grew to maturity beside a cave complex in the depths of the Somerset hills, and which now heads out on a regional tour before arriving at the Riverside Studios in London on 4th September 2009.
