Everybody's Talking About Jamie tickets and regional UK dates

Everybody's Talking About Jamie returns to UK stages on its 10th Anniversary Tour, following a three-year West End residency and an Amazon Studios film. Ashcon Rahmani plays Jamie New, a sixteen-year-old from a Sheffield council estate, with Rebecca Trehearn as his mother Margaret New.

The story and the score

Jamie New doesn't fit in, is terrified about the future, and is going to be a sensation. Backed by his mother and friends, he faces down prejudice and bullies on his way to the spotlight. The book is by Tom MacRae, known for his work on Doctor Who.

The score comes from Dan Gillespie Sells, lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, and this anniversary production adds a brand-new song to the existing catalogue.

Audience considerations

The show is suitable for ages five and above; children under five are strictly not admitted. It contains some strong language and mild sexual references, so parental discretion is advised. The running time is two hours and forty minutes.

Access provision varies by venue. At Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, BSL interpretation is provided by Complete Communication. At New Theatre Oxford, audio description is provided by Mind's Eye and captioning by Stagetext. Contact your chosen venue directly for specific access performance dates.

Parking

The closest car park is The Bridges multi-storey, although its rooftop level has limited opening hours so it is worth checking before you set off. St Mary's and Riverside car parks are also close by. Blue Badge holders will find limited parking outside the Fire Station near the theatre, along with a drop-off area, and disabled bays on Paley Street, reached by following the one-way system along the left-hand side of the building. Traffic and parking are much busier on match days, so allow extra time.
