The 10th anniversary tour of the award-winning musical about teenage drag queen Jamie New, with an all-star cast including Kelle Bryan and Divina De Campo.
Everybody's Talking About Jamie comes to the Main Theatre, Storyhouse Theatre from Monday 25 to Saturday 30 January 2027. It's part of the show's 10th anniversary tour, which runs from 15 January to 24 July 2027. The production is staged by Sheffield Theatres, and it's returning after a record-breaking three-year West End residency, two sold-out UK and Ireland tours, and an Amazon Studios award-winning film. It took home Best New Musical at the WhatsOnStage Awards.
Set in Sheffield, the story follows sixteen-year-old Jamie New, who lives on a council estate and works his way into the spotlight despite the prejudice he faces, with his mum Margaret by his side. The score is all pop tunes, written by Dan Gillespie Sells, lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, with book and lyrics by Tom MacRae, who has written for Doctor Who. The whole thing comes from an idea by director Jonathan Butterell, who also directs this production.
For this tour, Ashcon Rahmani takes on the role of Jamie New, with Rebecca Trehearn as his mum, Margaret. Kelle Bryan and Joanne Clifton share the role of Miss Hedge, and Divina De Campo plays both Hugo and Loco Chanelle. It's a big cast for a show that's been around the West End and across the UK for a decade now.
