New West End Shows in London

loved the dancing, loved the music!! Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first. turning Trainspotting into a musical sounded like a crazy idea. But it actually blew me away It’s definitely not your typical feel good West End show. It’s loud, raw, and just as intense and dark as you’d expect from Irvine Welsh, but the music works insanely well. The songs don't make it soft at all, if anything, they make the heavy parts hit even harder and the iconic moments feel massive. Renton is brilliant and Begbie is genuinely terrifying live on stage. despite how dark it gets, the Scottish humor is still hilarious and had the whole crowd laughing. If you like the book or the movie, you have to see this. It’s wild, chaotic, and an absolute blast from start to finish!

The actress who played Beatrice may have been over the top but she was wonderful and addressed every area of the audience. Unforgettable- interesting how you adapted the play a little bit but it all worked. The coffin and dirt scene for Claudio was extreme - hard to reconcile is quick contrition, but entertaining. The choreography repeated at the end was interesting- the pelvic thrust bit - Rocky Horror ? Every one is doing the pelvic thrust - tru to is Shakespeare is bawdy- but the pelvic thrust in the front does not look good if overdone 🤣. Thank you for asking. Trace

The staff was very friendly. The acting troupe really engaged the audience. It was like an immersive experience.

I enjoyed learning more about Monet’s life, clever staging, enjoyed each performer’s depiction of His or her character. Production seemed about 30 minutes too long
