Following a record-breaking three-year West End residency, two sold-out UK & Ireland Tours, and an Amazon Studios award-winning film, the smash-hit, critically acclaimed musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie returns for the 10th Anniversary Tour, featuring a brand new song from Dan Gillespie Sells and Tom MacRae.
Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield.
Jamie doesn’t quite fit in.
Jamie is terrified about the future.
Jamie is going to be a sensation.
Supported by his brilliant, loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie will open in Leeds 10 years after its original Sheffield Crucible run, before its West End transfer, national tours, and performances across the world, including the USA, Korea, Japan, and Italy.
The tour will open at Leeds Grand Theatre on 15 January 2027, before visiting Chester, Sunderland, Sheffield, Manchester, Wimbledon, Liverpool, Glasgow, Birmingham, Aylesbury, Oxford, and Woking: further tour dates and casting are to be announced.
Nica Burns, Producer, said, “Ten years ago, I got on a train to Sheffield to see the final matinee of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie and ten years later, this heart-lifting true story with wonderful songs has played every inhabited continent. Join us for our tenth-anniversary tour, featuring a new song, a sparkling cast, and a story that will make you laugh, cry, sing, and want to dance. A show for everyone.”
Jonathan Butterell (Director), Dan Gillespie Sells (Music) and Tom MacRae (book and lyrics) added, “It will be 10 years in February next year since Jamie New first stepped out into the world. 10 years since the people of Sheffield laughed and cried and celebrated his story at The Crucible. 10 years since Nica Burns and Nimax Theatres brought Jamie to London and sent him off dancing on his own two sparkling feet.
Jamie’s courage in unveiling himself in all his glorious, fabulous joy has been applauded by millions of people in dozens of countries, and next year, to celebrate the show’s 10th birthday, he will be returning to stages across the UK.
We were inspired by the true story of Jamie and Margaret Campbell, and we are thrilled that their story continues to inspire the world with its sass-filled magic.
We could not be more grateful for the Jamie family we share across the globe, and are so excited to bring a new Jamie, Margaret, Pritti, Hugo, Ray, Miss Hedge and Dean, plus all the wonderful drag queens and year 11s, back together and out into UK theatres next year. In the place where we belong.”
