Trainspotting the Musical Hits Hull

Trainspotting the Musical brings Irvine Welsh's iconic story to the stage with music and lyrics by Welsh and Stephen McGuinness. Directed by Caroline Jay Ranger, the production follows its West End premiere and UK tour, landing at Hull New Theatre for a week-long run.

Attendees can expect a raw, energetic adaptation of the cult novel and film, featuring Lewis Kidd as Renton. The musical promises a visceral experience with live music and theatrical storytelling that captures the gritty spirit of the original.

This is a rare chance to see a major new musical on tour, direct from London's Theatre Royal Haymarket. Fans of the book or film will find a fresh take, while newcomers can discover why the story remains a cultural touchstone.
