What's On Stage BEST NEW MUSICAL

Don't miss 'Jamie before it goes on hiatus this September!

When this exuberant musical from The Feeling's Dan Gillespie Sells and writer Tom MacRae premiered at the Sheffield Crucible in 2017, it became an instant success with both audiences and critics. Now a West End mainstay, dazzling audiences at the Apollo Theatre 8 times a week, 'Jamie is based on the true story of Jamie Campbell, a gay 16-year-old who stunned his school by heading to prom in heels and a dress, starting a national conversation on gender, sexuality and self-expression. Infectious, funny and touching, this is a coming of age story for our generation, one that celebrates difference with remarkable kindness and compassion.

Ranging from upbeat pop-rock to glorious soulful ballads, Gillespie Sells imbues Jamie's story with the fabulousity of Kinky Boots, whilst Tom MacRae's book echoes the struggle and wit of Billy Elliott yet manages to create an entirely fresh and inspiring modern British musical.

Jamie who?

Growing up on a Sheffield Council Estate isn't plain sailing for teenage Jamie. Out of touch with his peers yet always ready with a comeback for his bullies, he's just not sure what the future holds. Supported by his wonderful mum and his tight-knit group of pals, he sets out to confront his fate head-on and become the star he was always meant to be.
