News: Everybody’s Talking About Jamie sets May reopening date

It’s official – Everybody’s Talking About Jamie returns to the West End with an official reopening date set for 20 May! Making it one of the first major musicals to reopen in the West End, the award-winning show is inspired by a true story.

Out of the darkness, into the spotlight – back to the place where we belong.

With a hotly anticipated film due to be released this year, everybody’s talking about the musical’s fabulous return, featuring Shane Richie as Loco Chanelle until 18 July.

The hit musical for today is now more relevant than ever, specially updated for the times we live in. Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. He doesn’t quite fit in. He is terrified about the future. He is going to be a sensation.

Supported by his loving mum and brilliant friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice and bullies to be exactly who he wants to be.

Alongside Richie, Noah Thomas, Melissa Jacques, Sejal Keshwala, Hiba Elchikhe and Gillian Ford return, with a 25 strong company and a nine-piece band.
