The costume budget had no brakes

Performers in elaborate armoured costumes on roller skates during a live performance of Starlight Express at Wembley, London. Four characters are visible in close-up, each dressed in distinctive colour-coded outfits: one in iridescent blue, one in metallic green with matching shoulder armour, one in purple with striped detailing and a purple afro, and one in gold and yellow with a yellow mohawk. A crowd of audience members watches closely from behind a low barrier, several holding up phones to photograph the action. The stage floor features a curved track with geometric markings.
