Everybody’s Talking About Jamie to ‘pause’ West End run from September
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is to ‘pause’ its run in the West End from September.
The hit show reopened in London in May following a forced closure due to the pandemic.
It’s now been announced that the production will go on hiatus from 26 September before returning to the West End in 2022 – with details to be announced.
In the meantime, the show will be continuing its UK and Ireland tour from September while a premiere US production is set for Los Angeles in 2022.
A future second UK tour is planned for 2023 with other productions on the way in Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia, Italy, Holland and other European countries.
Nica Burns, producer of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie said: “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie has come a long way from its debut in Sheffield in 2017!
“We are delighted to be taking our story round the world and continuing to bring fun and joy and a great night out for audiences in London and across the UK for many years to come.”
Plans for the Apollo Theatre, where Jamie is currently playing, are to be confirmed.

The current West End cast features Noah Thomas in the title role, joined by Melissa Jacques (Margaret New), Shane Richie (Hugo / Loco Chanelle), Sejal Keshwala (Ray), Hiba Elchikhe (Pritti Pasha) and Gillian Ford (Miss Hedge).
