January 16 – February 20, 2022
The West End Musical Hit
North American Premiere of the Hit West End Musical
Winner of three WhatsOnStage Awards including Best New Musical and nominated for five Olivier Awards, this funny, fabulous musical sensation has thrilled audiences and critics alike since opening in 2017. Fresh and contemporary with an extraordinary mother and son relationship at its center, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie celebrates acceptance, belonging, the power of unconditional love of a mother for her child and how good life is when everybody is the best they can be.
Jamie New is sixteen and lives in public housing in Sheffield, England. Jamie doesn’t quite fit in, he’s terrified about the future and he’s going to be a sensation. Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is an award-winning hit musical for today. Supported by his loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies, and steps out of the darkness and into the spotlight. Everybody's Talking About Jamie is composed by Dan Gillespie Sells, lead singer-songwriter of UK rock band The Feeling, with book and lyrics by Tom MacRae, and is directed by Jonathan Butterell.
“A Riotous, Glitter-Fueled Celebration of Individuality. Layton Williams infuses Jamie with a nimble emotional undercurrent and an envious high kick. Melissa Jacques brings the house down. Her quietly fierce performance is the true highlight and Bianca Del Rio is expectedly divine as glamorous Loco Chanelle but proves most riveting and deft when stripped of the smoke and mirrors of drag.” -- Entertainment Weekly
“This heartening tale of extravagant individuality triumphing over claustrophobic conformity is made for the theater.” -- Los Angeles Times
