– “Everyone is talking about Jamie” received the Olivier awards for Best Musical, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie – musical in London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ll start by saying that Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is, in our opinion, the best new musical in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The musical is based on a true story and a BBC documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 16-year-old Sheffield boy dreaming of being a drag queen and wants to come to his school prom wearing a dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not a dramatic play about coming out of the closet or about a drag show.
It is a fun musical yet very emotional, about a teenager’s journey and his dealing with the society around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there is a sportive mother and a problematic father, but this is primarily a story about Jamie and his way of fulfilling his dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Everyone’s talking about Jamie” started in early 2017 in the city of Sheffield, moved pretty quickly to the West End (central London) and became a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our opinion? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A modern original musical that is fun and at the same time touching.
Very well played with great vocals and feel-good atmosphere.
We LOVED it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see a lot of musicals and “Everyone Talks About Jimmy” is on the top of our list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie vs Billy Elliot and Kinky boots musicals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is impossible not to find similarities to the well-known musicals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billy Elliott<\/strong> (currently not running in London)
A story of a young and talented boy dealing with the society around him, when he is not going in the expected direction.
Jamie is updated story for today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinky boots<\/strong> (not running in London – went on a tour in the UK)
A traditional shoe factory that is transformed to produce shoes for drag queens.
Both are about drag queens but the drag scenes in “Everyone Talks About Jimmy” are a marginal part of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
