Inside ‘You Me Bum Bum Train,’ London’s Hottest Ticket That Swears Its ‘Passengers’ — Including Leonardo DiCaprio, Madonna and Benedict Cumberbatch — to Total Secrecy
Leonardo DiCaprio, Madonna and more have all been 'passengers' on the You Me Bum Bum Train, London's cult and top secret immersive theater experience
This is — quite possibly — all I’m allowed to say about “You Me Bum Train Train.” With eyes still wide open and thoughts continuing to pinball, I’ve been chatting to co-creators Kate Bond and Morgan Lloyd (pictured above), who devised a loose concept for the experience while university friends in 2004 and have been developing and expanding it across a smattering of increasingly in-demand pop-ups in London over the last two decades. James Corden reportedly liked it so much he signed on to join its army of volunteers, a near cult-like troupe of giddy enthusiasts who do everything from work on the production side, to man the reception and cloak room to appear within the experience itself. Each passenger is individually guided through a carousel of ridiculously creative, intensely believable, forensically detailed and even occasionally topical scenes — most just a few minutes long — that don’t simply require your attention but wholehearted, full-throated participation, with the performers focused on you and what decision you choose to make in that moment.
