Everybody's Talking About Jamie

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is brought to you by BFLOC, following their award-winning and highly acclaimed production of The Wizard of Oz, The Musical here at the Grand in 2023.

This funny, fabulous musical sensation has thrilled audiences and critics alike since its premiere at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield in 2017.

Fresh and contemporary with an extraordinary mother and son relationship at its centre, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie celebrates acceptance, belonging, the power of unconditional love of a mother for her child and how good life is when everybody is the best they can be.

Jamie New is 16 and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. Jamie doesn’t quite fit in, he’s terrified about the future but is going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies, and steps out of the darkness and into the spotlight.

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is composed by Dan Gillespie Sells (lead singer-songwriter of UK rock band The Feeling), with book and lyrics by Tom MacRae (Dr Who).

Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is an award-winning hit musical for today.
