The immersive new work Trainspotting Live will conclude its off-Broadway premiere run on January 19, 2019. The theatrical production, adapted by Harry Gibson from the hit film and novel, began previews on July 5, 2018 at Roy Arias Stages and opened on July 15.

It is based on Irvine Welsh's novel Trainspotting, which was first published in 1993, and Danny Boyle's film adaptation, which premiered in 1996.

The company includes Liam Akpan as Sick Boy, Andrew Barrett as Renton, Tom Chandler as Begbie, Lauren Downie as June, Josh Goulding as Tommy, Pia Hagen as Allison and Oliver Sublet as Mother Superior.
