Irvine Welsh's TRAINSPOTTING THE MUSICAL, direct from its West End world premiere, will embark on a UK tour with a stop at Bradford Live, featuring an all-Scottish cast led by Robbie Scott as Renton.

The major new folk musical Ballad Lines, produced by Aria Entertainment & KT Producing enters its final three weeks of its run at Southwark Playhouse Elephant running until 21 March 2026.

A journey through time and memory, Ballad Lines must be one of the most exciting new musicals to hit the stage in some time. We follow Sarah, an American queer woman, as she dives headfirst into her family’s roots. Through the centuries, the same melodies come back to link the women who came before her. It’s a story about female anger, patriarchal conflict, sacrifice, and the deep cathartic pull of feminine energy. Blending traditional folk music from Scotland, Ireland, and the Appalachian mountains with standard pop, Finn Anderson and Tania Azevedo write a visceral reminder of the power of choice.

Producers Aria Entertainment and KT Producing have released an in-rehearsal music video of “Prologue” from BALLAD LINES, which will have its London premiere at Southwark Playhouse Elephant.

You can now get a first look inside rehearsals for the London premiere of Ballad Lines, which opens at Southwark Playhouse Elephant, starring Frances McNamee and more.

Full casting has been announced for the London premiere of Ballad Lines, a major new folk musical by Finn Anderson (Islander, Streets) and Tania Azevedo (Mayflies, But I’m a Cheerleader).

Based on Tom Fletcher’s best-selling children’s book and adapted by scriptwriter Miranda Larson, The Creakers musical is an escapade which highlights the very real need for sustainability, through a tale about Lucy and the ‘kidderlings’ of Whiffington. The children wake up to find that all of the adults have mysteriously disappeared and the local waste and recycling issues have oddly all but vanished too.

All new production photos have been released from The Creakers, a musical based on singer-songwriter and author Tom Fletcher’s  best-selling book, adapted by the award-winning Miranda Larson. Check out the photos here!
