How to secure your seats
With the production marking the 30th anniversary of the legendary 1996 film, demand is expected to be exceptionally high. The musical, written by Irvine Welsh, based on his seminal novel, and directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, promises a “confrontational and defiant” new score that brings the world of Renton, Begbie, and Spud to life like never before.
To ensure you get the best views of the high-octane action, we recommend booking as early as possible.
- Best Availability: Mid-week performances currently offer the widest range of seating.
- Age rating: 15+. The show contains scenes and depictions of drug taking and death, and includes swearing and adult references.
- Official Tickets: You can find full performance schedules, cast information, and live seat maps on our dedicated Trainspotting The Musical show page.
The Cast and Creative Team
Directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, the production stars Robbie Scott as Renton, leading a powerhouse company through the highs and lows of Leith. The creative team includes set and costume design by Colin Richmond, lighting by Ian Scott, and a score that blends iconic tracks from the 1996 film alongside new original songs by Stephen McGuinness and Irvine Welsh.
