When Everybody’s Talking About Jamie headed to London’s West End – after debuting at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre – many wrote off its chances of success. After all, it was an increasingly rare thing – a musical not based on a known property (although loosely based on a documentary), with a gay lead character and original songs. It was a big risk but it’s proven a massive success, playing for two and a half years at the Apollo Theatre before Covid-19 resulted in a pause – but it’s due to return to the stage in November with socially distanced audiences.

Jamie New is 16 and doesn’t quite fit in—instead of pursuing a “real” career he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure: he is going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mom and his amazing friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.’
