Everybody's Talking About Jamie

Everybody's Talking About Jamie plays at the Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall from Monday 7 to Saturday 12 June 2027. It's a run of six days in the Main Auditorium, with evening shows on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 7:30pm; a double on Wednesday with a 2:00pm matinee and a 7:30pm evening; and a double on Saturday with a 2:30pm matinee and a 7:30pm evening. Tickets go from £23.00 to £61.50.

The musical follows sixteen-year-old Jamie New, a teenager from a Sheffield council estate who discovers drag and works his way through the prejudice with the help of his mum. It's a coming-of-age story that won the WhatsOnStage Award for Best New Musical, and the score is made up of catchy pop tunes written by Dan Gillespie Sells, lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, and Tom MacRae, known for his work on Doctor Who. The Daily Telegraph called it 'funny, outrageous, touching', while The Times described it as a 'sparkling coming-of-age musical'.

This particular production arrives in Nottingham after a record-breaking three-year West End residency, two sold-out UK and Ireland tours, and an award-winning Amazon Studios film. It's billed as the show's 10th Anniversary Tour, and it comes with a brand-new song added to the original score. The cast for this run includes Joanne Clifton, Divina De Campo, Ashcon Rahmani and Rebecca Trehearn.

It's a long one, so keep that in mind if you're planning your evening: the total running time is 2 hours 45 minutes, with Act 1 at 1 hour 20 minutes, a 20-minute interval, and Act 2 at 1 hour 5 minutes. There's age guidance of 12+, and under-14s have to be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. With the matinees on Wednesday and Saturday, you've got a choice of afternoon or evening across the week.
