Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (Apollo Theatre)
After a short run in Sheffield, teenage drag-queen musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie has sashayed into the West End.
It is pretty good fun, even if it feels derivative — a cross between Billy Elliot and Priscilla Queen Of The Desert.
Inspired by a real-life story, schoolboy Jamie New, 16, is told by his careers teacher’s psychometric tests that when he leaves school he should become a forklift-truck driver or a prison guard.
Yet all he yearns to be is a drag queen.
