Everybody’s Talking About Jamie

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.
