Christine Costello, CEO, More2Screen comments: “We are very proud to be appointed by Nica Burns and Nimax Theatres to bring this fabulously successful West End production to a global audience. Although there has been an ever-increasing number of successful theatre events at the cinema, the live broadcast of a commercial West End musical production remains a rare occurrence. The enthusiastic response from our cinema partners and rush to programme the live broadcast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie demonstrates what a hot ticket this is for cinema audiences.” Nica Burns, Producer and CEO Nimax Theatres, comments: “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is an uplifting, contemporary musical for everyone. Fantastic songs, a story that tugs at your heartstrings whilst being fun, funny and ultimately fabulous. Thank you to our audiences and the critics whose enthusiasm took us from Sheffield to the West End and continue to cheer us on every night. So come to your local cinema to join our live audiences for a great night out and to share “a little bit of glitter in the grey”. And of course – a round of applause to the wonderful More2Screen for partnering us to bring Jamie’s story to hundreds of screens nationally.” Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is the new award-winning five-star hit musical for today. Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. Jamie doesn’t quite fit in. Jamie is terrified about the future. He is going to be a sensation. 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. John McCrea, Josie Walker, Tamsin Carroll, Lucie Shorthouse and Phil Nichol lead a twenty-four strong company and an eight-piece band that will ‘sweep you away on a tide of mischief, warmth and exuberance’ (Financial Times). With ‘songs that have the wow factor’ (The Times) by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, Dan Gillespie Sells, and ‘hilarious’ book and lyrics ‘with delightful punch’ (Whatsonstage), by writer Tom MacRae, this funny, fabulous, feel-good, musical sensation has been thrilling audiences and critics alike. Winner of 3 WhatsOnStage Awards including Best New Musical and nominated for 5 Olivier Awards, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie was filmed live at the Apollo Theatre in London’s Shaftesbury Avenue on 5 July.
