Trainspotting The Musical in London

Starring:

Robbie Scott

Based on the dark, bizarre 1993 novel by Irvine Welsh, Trainspotting follows a group of young Scottish men: Mark Renton, an on-and-off heroin junkie, and his friends Danny "Spud" Murphy, Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson, Francis "Franco" Begbie. Cynical and occasionally shocking, it follows their experiences grappling with drinking, sex, family problems, HIV, death, and most of all, heroin addiction.

After captivating readers with its cynical tone and unique narrative style, Trainspotting was adapted into a cult classic film in 1996 by Danny Boyle, starring Ewan McGregor as Renton. It’s since been adapted into multiple stage plays, and even a live immersive theatrical experience called Trainspotting Live. Now a new musical adaptation is coming to the West End, promising to put a breathtaking new spin on this complex story and its unforgettable characters. Lead character Renton will be played by Robbie Scott, who will be making his West End debut, with further casting to be announced. The score will include original music, as well as tracks from the film, such as Iggy Pop’s Lust For Life and Lou Reed's Perfect Day. Welsh said, "This musical has a bigger, loudly beating human heart than either the book or the film." With Welsh’s involvement, the musical is sure to stay true to the original spirit of the story.

If you loved the book and film, you won’t want to miss the brand new musical adaptation of this dark, haunting story.

Not for everyone.

I've wanted to see it, because i've loved the movie when he came out in 1997. Hard to keep up sometimes, Really well done. The actors played it well.

Brilliant show

Great show Begbie was fantastic but in all fairness they were all really good.

Realistic

The music was too loud and made it difficult to hear the lyrics of the songs. Although set in the 1980's, it's sad to see that we have the same problems in 'forgotten communities' now.

I thought it was a great production. Loved the story, music and thought the acting was brilliant

Despite poor reviews I thought this production was brilliant. It wasn’t exactly the same as the film but was its own unique production separate from the original. Thought the music acting, singing was great and the characters especially Spud were brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Really Lively Show

Started off a bit hectic, with lots of running around, but then settled into the story nicely. Excellent acting and singing alongside a really upbeat soundtrack from the resident band. Lots of swearing and really strong Scottish accents, as per the film, but a very enjoyable watch.

A great retelling of the classic book and film

The 1990s Leith in Edinburgh was captured well and the story of life for families and young people affected by addiction boldy told. Brought different emotions to the surface through storyline, acting and music - anger, humour, frustration and empathy.

A brave attempt to bring an iconic movie to theatre

I’m sorry to say this was the most disappointing show I’ve seen in the west end.

Shocking

Unmemorable original songs. Line dancing was just of the wall. Not quite sure what that has to do with the story.

Great acting, shame about the audience!

Obviously very hard to compete with such an iconic film but they got the characters pretty much right and the acting, singing & movement was very good. Unfortunately it was press night and ive never been in an audience so rude & distracting…constantly getting up for drinks and the toilet, talking and at one point someone even filming on their phone. A bloke was mansplaining the story to his partner behind us in a loud voice and the two people in front spent half the show kissing, rummaging in a handbag, fluffing their hair up etc. Ive seen better behaved kids at the theatre.
