Inspired by true events, “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” follows Jamie New (Harwood), a teenager from Sheffield who dreams of life on stage.

But Jamie also has to contend with an unsupportive father (Ineson), an uninspired careers advisor (Horgan), and some ignorant school kids who attempt to rain on his sensational parade. In rousing and colorful musical numbers, Jamie and his community inspire one another to overcome prejudice, be more accepting, and step out of the darkness into the spotlight.
