Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, the award-winning feel good musical sensation, has announced that Layton Williams is to play the title role of Jamie New from 28 January 2019.
Nica Burns, Producer of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie said: “We’re delighted to welcome Layton Williams as only our second Jamie as we say goodbye to the wonderful John McCrea, who created the role and leaves the cast on 26 January 2019. Layton is a supremely talented actor, singer and dancer with a long list of credits. He is equally at home on TV in series like ‘Beautiful People’ and ‘Bad Education’ as he is on stage in roles such as Angel in ‘Rent’ and Seaweed in ‘Hairspray’. I’m sure he will make the role of Jamie very much his own.”
Layton Williams takes over from John McCrea who created the role of Jamie when the show first opened at Sheffield Crucible Theatre in February 2017, and who has played the role since its opening in the West End in November 2017. Everybody’s Talking About Jamie will celebrate its first birthday at the Apollo Theatre in the West End on 6 November.
