John McCrea to Star in New Musical EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE

By:

John McCrea is set to play the titular role in the world premiere of Dan Gillespie Sells & Tom Macrae's New Musical EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE.

Noted as up-and-coming talent by the Daily Mail, McCrea most recently starred in The Buskers Opera at Park Theatre earlier in the year. There is also a portrait of him by Phil Sharp hanging in the National Portrait Gallery.

He doesn't quite fit in at school. His Dad's left home. He's about to sit his GCSEs. The future is terrifying.

With his brilliant mum behind him, will Jamie be brave enough to stand up for who he really wants to be?

A coming-of-age story with a twist, with catchy new songs by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling Dan Gillespie Sells and writer Tom MacRae, this brand new musical will have everybody talking about Jamie for years to come.

The full cast, which was just announced today, includes DaniEl Anthony (Levi),Mina Anwar (Leigh), Luke Baker (Dean), Courtney Bowman (Fatimah), Tamsin Carroll (Miss Hedge),Charles Dale (Hugo), Raj Ghatak (Sandra Bollock), Barney Hudson (Mickey), Gabrielle Brooks(Becca), James Gillan (Tray Sophisticay), Kush Khanna (Salah), John McCrea (Jamie), Harriet Payne (Bex), Shiv Rabheru (Callum), Lucie Shorthouse (Pritti), Kirstie Skivington (Vicki and Dance Captain), Spencer Stafford (Laika Virgin / Jamie's Dad) and Josie Walker (Margaret).
