Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, the new musical that was a hit at Sheffield Crucible, is to transfer to London’s West End in November.
The production, about a 16-year-old’s journey to being himself in drag, will run at the Apollo Theatre from 22 November, with previews from 6 November. It premiered in Sheffield in February this year.
Inspired by a documentary telling the true story of Jamie Campbell, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is about the Sheffield boy who doesn't fit in at school and is trying to find his feet after his Dad leaves home.
John McCrea will reprise the lead role of Jamie alongside most of the Sheffield Crucible cast including Josie Walker, Mina Anwar, Tamsin Carroll, Daniel Anthony, Luke Baker, Courtney Bowman, James Gillian, Harriet Payne, Shiv Rabheru, Lucie Shorthouse and Kirstie Skivington.
The musical will run until April 2018.
