Everybody's Talking About Jamie
20th - 24th October 2026
The Core Theatre, Solihull
Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie follows 16-year-old Jamie New as he dreams of stepping beyond the classroom and into the spotlight as a drag queen.
With the support of his brilliant mum, best friend Pritti and a colourful cast of characters, Jamie sets out to be unapologetically himself - facing prejudice, finding his confidence and proving there’s a place for everyone to shine.
Bursting with heart, humour and an irresistible pop soundtrack, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is a joyous celebration of courage, acceptance and being proud of who you are.
