Based on a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is a bold, joyful, and deeply human musical about choosing to live out loud – even when the world tells you to stay quiet.

Funny, and beautifully heartwarming, 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺’𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘦 is more than a musical — it’s a celebration of 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐘𝐎𝐔!

Meet Jamie. He’s sixteen. He’s fabulous. And he’s about to show the world what happens when you dare to dream out loud — in heels.

Starring the talented students from Waterfront Theatre School, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie features electrifying musical numbers and an honest, hilarious and heartfelt story about resilience and celebrating your individuality.

Created by the same team behind last year’s sold-out production of Heathers – The Musical, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie brings together a powerhouse creative trio: acclaimed theatre-maker Paul Griffiths, accomplished musical director Garth Tavares, and dynamic choreographer Ursula Lubbe — each bringing their unique expertise and vibrant energy to this bold production.

Comments about the international production include a rare five stars from The Times; ‘a touching, funny and joyous production’ (The Observer) and ‘funny, outrageous, touching… The show sends you out on a feel-good bubble of happiness’ (The Daily Telegraph).

It won Best New Musical at the What’s On Stage Awards, as well as being nominated for a host of other awards.
