DESCRIPTION:
Through the Experience L.A. series of events, Visions and Voices takes USC students on trips throughout the city to experience Los Angeles’s dynamic cultural landscape firsthand. For our first Experience L.A. outing in two years, we are excited to bring students to the North American premiere of the hit West End musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.

“A burst of joy.”—Time Out

“This fizzing musical is a blast of fresh air.”—The Times, London

Since opening in 2017, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie has thrilled audiences and critics alike. Winner of three WhatsOnStage Awards, including Best New Musical, and nominated for five Olivier Awards, the funny and fabulous musical sensation tells the story of 16-year-old Jamie New, who lives in public housing in Sheffield, England, and doesn’t quite fit in. Supported by his loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies, and steps out of the darkness and into the spotlight. Inspired by a true story and celebrating acceptance, belonging, and how good life is when everybody is the best they can be, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is an award-winning hit musical for today.

Everybody's Talking About Jamie is composed by Dan Gillespie Sells, lead singer-songwriter of UK rock band The Feeling, with book and lyrics by Tom MacRae, and is directed by Jonathan Butterell. For the Los Angeles shows, West End cast members Layton Williams and Bianca Del Rio will reprise their roles as Jamie New and Hugo/Loco Chanelle, respectively.

Presented by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative.
