Jersey Boys
From:12-10-2026
To:17-10-2026
+ More Info +

Go behind the music and inside the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the true-life musical phenomenon, Jersey Boys.

From the streets of New Jersey to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is the musical that’s too good to be true. They were just four guys from Jersey, until they sang their very first note. They had a sound nobody had ever heard… and the radio just couldn’t get enough of. But while their harmonies were perfect on stage, off stage it was a very different story -- a story that has made them an international sensation all over again. The show features all their hits including “Sherry,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like A Man,” “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” “Beggin’,” “December 1963 (Oh What a Night)” and more.

The 20th Anniversary tour boasts a stellar cast, lead by Luke Baker (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Sheffield/West End; Billy Elliot, Curve Leicester) as Frankie Valli, Carlo Boumouglbay (Muriel’s Wedding, Curve Leicester; Miss Saigon, international tour) as Tommy Devito, Lewis Kennedy (All male Pirates of Penzance, Wilton’s Music Hall) as Nick Massi, Toby Miles (Les Misérables, West End; School of Rock, international tour) as Bob Gaudio and Ellis Kirk (Dear Evan Hansen, West End/Asia tour) as Alternate Frankie Valli.

Trainspotting The Musical
From:19-10-2026
To:24-10-2026
+ More Info +

Renton, Sick Boy, Begbie, Spud, Tommy, and Kelly, the industrial drug-crazed working-class heroes, are back.

In 1996, CHOOSE LIFE sounded like a challenge. Thirty years on, the landscape has shifted, but the hunger hasn’t. Addiction hasn’t disappeared - it’s shifted. It’s quieter now, more embedded. Less needle, more screen. Less escape, more repetition. The same restless search for something to fill the space.

The musical highlights the world we see changing around us, the obscene concentration of wealth, economic and political power in the hands of so few people. It addresses the modern culture of powerlessness. Art the singing-and-dancing Trojan horse that delivers direction and relevance.

This isn’t nostalgia, it’s closer than that. The past isn’t revisited - it lingers. The musical doesn’t tidy it. It sits with it. Listens to it. And lets it sing. New songs, classic songs, a musical like never before. Not for the easily confronted. It’s funny, loud, dynamic, and brings a dark dangerous energy never experienced before on the West End stage.

“I believe the musical has a bigger, loudly beating human heart than either the book or the film. People need to think about the world we’re living in, and we offer that inspection, but they also really need to sing their hearts out and laugh their heads off - it’s what being human is all about.” Irvine Welsh, April 2026

There are no clean answers here. Only incredible music and flashes of clarity, humour, and the uneasy sense of recognition.

CHOOSE LIFE.

The Edinburgh Playhouse opened its doors for the first time at 2pm on Monday 12 August 1929. Although originally designed as a variety theatre, by the time the building was completed it had been decided to open it as a cinema. The first film to be screened was ‘The Doctor’s Secret’ an adaptation of JM Barrie’s short play ‘Half an Hour’.
