Everybody's Talking About Jamie

A joyous, life-affirming musical...

Produced and presented by PraxisPro Theatre Company

Jamie New is 16 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, Jamie 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.

From the same company that brought you the amazing production of OUR HOUSE last year here at the Cockpit. This awarding winning professional creative team, working with tomorrows stars, that produced such wonderful productions such as 'The Grinning man' and  'The Magicians Elephant'.

“A joyous punch in the air about following your dreams and being yourself.” – Time Out
“It’s the real deal. Everyone really should be talking, singing, shouting about Jamie now.” – The Times

“A fizzing, feeling, instant hit.” – The Observer

“Sweeps you away on a tide of mischief, warmth and exuberance.” – The Financial Times

“A dynamic, deliciously entertaining night out, a glorious tribute to what makes us human and a heart-warming appeal for acceptance. Let’s all keep talking about Jamie for as long as possible.” – WhatsOnStage
