Trainspotting the Musical

Thirty years on from the film that changed everything, TRAINSPOTTING: THE MUSICAL storms the stage. WRITTEN BY IRVINE WELSH with MUSIC & LYRICS BY STEPHEN MCGUINNESS & IRVINE WELSH and DIRECTED & DEVELOPED BY CAROLINE JAY RANGER, this is the story of the outsiders, the rebels, a brand-new, expectation defying musical, pumping in live and loud defiance across the West End stage.
Cult heroes of youth culture: Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie, Spud, Tommy, and Kelly are back, alongside an ensemble cast and a live band. Featuring some of the electrifying tracks from the film that defined a generation, together with catchy, confrontational and celebratory original songs, set to become singalong, dance-along classics, this is more than nostalgia amplified, it's a genre-defying new musical that speaks to our contemporary malaise of defiance in the face of an uncertain future.
Radical, invigorating and life-affirming, this provocative, unforgettable experience will have even the most sceptical leave on a consciousness-altering high.
TRAINSPOTTING IS NOT JUST A SHOW. IT'S A MOMENT. IT'S A MANIFESTO. IT'S WHO WE ARE.
CHOOSE LIFE.
