Best New Musical
What's On Stage Awards
Funny, fabulous and feelgood, this is the musical sensation for all the family and not to be missed!
The smash-hit musical returns to Edinburgh, featuring West End star Layton Williams*, EastEnders’ much-loved Shane Richie as Hugo/Loco Chanelle both reprising their roles from the critically acclaimed West End production.
Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. Jamie doesn’t quite fit in. Jamie is terrified about the future. Jamie is going to be a sensation.
Supported by his brilliant loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.
With an original score of catchy pop tunes by lead singer-songwriter of The Feeling, Dan Gillespie Sells and writer Tom MacRae (Doctor Who), this brand-new musical will have everybody talking about Jamie for years to come.
Sixteen: the edge of possibility. Time to make your dreams come true.
CAUTION: Strobe lighting is used throughout the performance
*Layton Williams will not be performing on Saturday 2 April performances. Jamie will be played by his understudy Adam Taylor.
