Nica Burns, Producer of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie said:
“Like everyone else in the UK, year 11 at Mayfield High School is back to school and coping with COVID-19 and the challenges of personalising their facemasks within school rules. To reflect ‘ a new Covid world.’ Some of the ‘school kids’ will be wearing masks.”

Jamie is going to be a sensation.

With catchy songs by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, Dan Gillespie Sells, and book and lyrics by writer Tom MacRae, this funny, fabulous, feel-good, musical sensation has been wowing audiences and critics alike. Sixteen: the edge of possibility. Time to make your dreams come true.
