Everybody’s Talking About Jamie
Uptown Players Shines Bright with Southwest Premiere of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie
Uptown Players proudly presents the Southwest premiere of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, a fearless, feel-good musical celebrating the joy of self-expression and the power of unconditional love. Performances will run from July 18 – August 3, 2025, at the Kalita Humphreys Theatre, located at 3636 Turtle Creek Blvd. in Dallas.
Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie tells the story of Jamie New, a teenager from Sheffield who dreams of becoming a drag queen. Supported by his fiercely devoted mother and a cast of colorful characters, Jamie overcomes bigotry, bullying, and self-doubt to step into his spotlight. Featuring a vibrant pop score by Dan Gillespie Sells and a witty, heartfelt book and lyrics by Tom MacRae, the show is a glittering tribute to authenticity and acceptance.
“Jamie’s journey is a bold reminder that being yourself is the bravest thing you can do,” said Craig Lynch, Executive Producer of Uptown Players. “We’re excited to introduce this powerful, heartwarming story to Dallas audiences with a cast that brings every ounce of passion, energy, and sparkle.”
