What is Everybody’s Talking About Jamie about?
Inspired by the true story of Jamie Campbell and his mother Margaret, the musical follows sixteen-year-old Jamie as he overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness into the spotlight, supported by his loving mum and his friends.
Described as “Funny, outrageous, touching” by the Daily Telegraph, the show has earned five-star reviews from Time Out, The Stage, WhatsOnStage, The Times, Financial Times and The Independent since it first transferred to the West End’s Apollo Theatre in 2017.
