Wasn’t sure where this should be posted.

Anyone else booked for Trainspotting the musical?

Looks awesome. And Irvine Welsh has been directly involved.

Going on 25th, can’t wait.

I worked as a paramedic in Edinburgh through this period, I hated the film because of the grim reality, I can’t see the musical being anymore pleasant!

Love the book. Love the film.

Never really thought how it'd translate to a musical.

As mentioned in the film...

I've read his recent addition to the Trainspotting series (Men in Love). It was unfortunately pretty rubbish.

I never quite understood the adoration for the film. There are some things that have entered the popular culture, but it was pretty grim.

I hate musicals.

I doubt I'll be watching it!
