A teen edition of the hit West End musical about learning who you are – and loving it!

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, James overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies, and steps out of the darkness into the spotlight.

Sixteen: the edge of possibility. Time to make your dreams come true.

Run-time: 2 hours 20 minutes (incl. interval)

Accessibility: Wheelchair spaces and companion tickets are available. Please find more information here.

Age Suitability: 11+ (Contains themes of homophobia, bullying, parental abandonment)

Contains haze and sparks.

This Young Company production of EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE: TEEN EDITION is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd.
