AN AWARD-WINNING five-star rated hit musical is being shown at the Electric Palace in Bridport next Thursday (5) at 7pm.
Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie tells the story of a 16-year-old who lives on a council estate in Sheffield who doesn't quite fit in.
Jamie is terrified about the future but he 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.
John McCrea, Josie Walker, Tamsin Carroll, Lucie Shorthouse and Phil Nichol lead a 24-strong company and an eight-piece band that will ‘sweep you away on a tide of mischief, warmth and exuberance’ (Financial Times).
With ‘songs that have the wow factor’ (The Times) by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, Dan Gillespie Sells, and ‘hilarious’ book and lyrics ‘with delightful punch’ (Whatsonstage), by writer Tom MacRae, this funny, fabulous, feel-good, musical sensation has been thrilling audiences and critics alike.
Winner of 3 WhatsOnStage Awards including Best New Musical and nominated for 5 Olivier Awards, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie will be broadcast to The Electric Palace live from the Apollo Theatre in London’s Shaftesbury Avenue.
