The Show
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is a musical by Tom MacRae with music by Dan Gillespie Sells based on BBC Three’s documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16.

Information
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is currently booking until January 2020. The Apollo Theatre opened 1901 and has been a venue for plays, musicals, operas and comedies. In December 2013, part of the theatre’s ceiling, balcony and a lighting rig collapsed. It reopened four months later.
The Apollo is owned by Nimax Theatres so their website is the best place to buy tickets. For more information on your visit to the Apollo, read our guide.
