- **Event Name**: Trainspotting The Musical 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 15 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: Thirty years on from the film that changed everything, TRAINSPOTTING: THE MUSICAL storms the stage. Written by Irvine Welsh with Music &amp; Lyrics by Stephen McGuinness &amp; Irvine Welsh and Directed &amp; 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.


 📍 Venue Description: Located just off Trafalgar Square, this iconic venue is known for its rich legacy, neoclassical architecture, and commitment to staging high-calibre drama, comedies, and star-led productions. With its elegant interiors and intimate atmosphere, it offers an unforgettable theatrical experience in one of the city’s oldest playhouses.

Opening its doors in 1720, the Theatre Royal Haymarket is the third-oldest playhouse in London still in use.
