Everybody's Talking about Jamie: Hit show is BACK in Sheffield after debuting at the Crucible Theatre in 2017

The hit West End show Everybody's Talking about Jamie is returning to Sheffield seven years after it first-opened on the Crucible stage.

The much-loved story follows 16-year-old Jamie New who lives on a council estate in Sheffield and doesn't quite fit in, but, supported by his mum, dad and friends, "overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of darkness, into the spotlight".

The show, which is returning to Sheffield in April, stars Ivano Turco (Get Up, Stand Up!, Cinderella) as Jamie New; Rebecca McKinnis (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie West End, Dear Evan Hansen, We Will Rock You, Les Misérables) as Margaret New; Sejal Keshwala (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie West End, Bend It Like Beckham West End) as Ray; Talia Palamathanan (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie Tour and film) as Pritti; with X-Factor winner Sam Bailey as Miss Hedge; and Strictly Come Dancing professional and series 16 winner Kevin Clifton as Hugo/Loco Chanelle.
