Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. Jamie doesn’t quite fit in. Jamie wants to be a drag queen and go to the school prom in a dress. 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.
Based on the true story of Jamie Campbell this (‘Funny, outrageous, touching’ Daily Telegraph) musical is not to be missed! With an original score of catchy pop tunes by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, Dan Gillespie Sells and writer Tom MacRae (Doctor Who), this sparkling musical will have everybody talking about Jamie!
Brought to you by the award-winning Musical Youth Company of Oxford, you’re guaranteed a performance packed with energy, dance and song. This is a story of community and friendship, and a celebration of everyone’s messy, fabulous uniqueness.
