WATERFRONT Theatre School will present the South African premiere of smash hit West End musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at Artscape Arena from 9 to 19 July.
Based on a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is a bold, joyful, and deeply human musical about choosing to live out loud – even when the world tells you to stay quiet. Funny, and beautifully heartwarming, it’s more than a musical — it’s a celebration of self-expression acceptance, and the courage to be unapologetically you.
Meet Jamie. He’s 16. He’s fabulous. And he’s about to show the world what happens when you dare to dream out loud — in heels.
Starring talented students from Waterfront Theatre School, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie features electrifying musical numbers and an honest, hilarious and heartfelt story about resilience and celebrating your individuality.
It won Best New Musical at the What’s On Stage Awards, as well as being nominated for a host of other awards.
“This musical is a celebration of how we can see parts of ourselves in others, embracing our differences and connecting with our similarities. We have an overwhelming capacity to accept,” says director Paul Griffiths.
“It’s a powerful coming of age story, wrapped up in humour, great music, emotion and exuberant energy that will inspire, entertain and make you laugh all at the same time.”
The Waterfront Theatre School is a premier institution dedicated to nurturing the talents of aspiring performers. With a focus on comprehensive training in acting, singing, and dance, the school has produced numerous successful graduates who have gone on to achieve acclaim in the performing arts industry.
