Tozer will takeover from Hayley Tamaddon, who joined the show on January 28.
She tweeted her support to Faye: “Congrats lovely lady! You’re going to be fabulous!!! See you very soon! ?”
Inspired by a true story, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie has proved a hit on the West End ever since opening in 2017.
Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield. Jamie doesn’t quite fit in. Jamie is terrified about the future. He 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.
The title role of Jamie New is currently played by Layton Williams (Bad Education, Beautiful People) with the rest of the cast including Rebecca McKinnis, Sejal Keshwala, Sabrina Sandhu and EastEnders’ star Shane Richie.

It was announced last year that a movie adaption was in the works, with filming scheduled to begin later this year.
