### What is *Everybody’s Talking About Jamie*?
Out of the darkness and into the spotlight. *Everybody’s Talking About Jamie* is inspired by a documentary that is about 16-year-old **Jamie Campbell** who wanted to be a drag queen. The musical shows Jamie New find not only his inner drag queen but himself too. Despite the bullying and prejudice he faces, with the help of his family and friends, he finds his feet (in six-inch stilettos no less) and isn’t afraid to show who he is. This musical is gloriously heart-warming and will leave you radiating with feel-good vibes. It’s a story of acceptance. Accepting who others are and accepting yourself and whilst it may seem a simple message, the importance it carries is staggering!
The award-winning musical has a book and lyrics from Tom McRae, with music from **Dan Gillespie Sells**, direction from **Jonathan Butterell**, and choreography from **Kate Prince**. There is also **Anna Fleischle** with set and costume design, **Lucy Carter** with lighting design, **Paul Groothuis** with sound design and **Luke Halls** with video design.
