Everybody’s Talking About Jamie has announced that Ashcon Rahmani and Rebecca Trehearn will be playing the much-loved roles of Jamie and Margaret New for the 10th Anniversary tour commencing in January 2027.
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 will feature a brand-new song from Dan Gillespie Sells and Tom MacRae. The tour will open in Leeds 10 years after the original opening at the Sheffield Crucible, before the West End, national tours, and performances worldwide, including the USA, Korea, Japan, and Italy.
Jamie is coming home to the UK again, possibly for the last time. The 10th Anniversary tour of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie opens at Leeds Grand Theatre on 15 January 2027 before visiting Chester, Shrewsbury, Sunderland, Edinburgh, Wolverhampton, Wycombe, Sheffield, Manchester, Wimbledon, Liverpool, Truro, Eastbourne, Glasgow, Southampton, Cheltenham, Birmingham, Aylesbury, Cardiff, Nottingham, Oxford, Woking, Bradford and Newcastle.
Nica Burns, Producer, said, “We are absolutely delighted to be celebrating the tenth anniversary of this joyous contemporary musical, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, which has been such a success all over the world. Ashcon Rahmani, making his stage debut as Jamie, is a three-strike talent – he can act, sing and dance – and is a real find. Rebecca Trehearn as his mother, Margaret, is a much-loved staple of the West End. We are so lucky to have these talented players in the central roles of mother and son.”
Jonathan Butterell, Director, said, “We could not be more thrilled and delighted to celebrate the announcement of our 10th Anniversary tour with Ashcon and Rebecca as Jamie and Margaret. Our story tells of the courage of a glorious 16-year-old as they step out into the world. How fitting that this is Ashcon’s debut and he will be held in the arms of the extraordinary Rebecca Trehearn. We are so excited to send them off together on their journey around the country, spreading the joy of our show.”
Ashcon Rahmani said, “I am beyond thrilled to be making my professional debut playing Jamie in the 10th Anniversary tour of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. I grew up with this show; it was the representation I needed as a young queer boy from the north of England to know this could all be possible for me one day, so to step into those stilettoes and become the representation I once had is truly a dream come true. Jamie is iconic, and I feel incredibly grateful and excited to start this journey and share the stage with the wonderful Rebecca Trehearn playing my onstage mum.”
Rebecca Trehearn added, “I’m thrilled to be joining the UK tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie to play Margaret, and to be reuniting with a creative team I adore. The relationship between Margaret and Jamie is truly special, and I’m so looking forward to performing alongside Ashcon and the rest of the company. The musical’s celebration of courage, acceptance and being unapologetically yourself feels as relevant now as it did 10 years ago, and I can’t wait to be part of this beautiful and uplifting show.”
