A modern day Billy Elliot?

‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ is the British musical locked in a David versus several Goliaths battle this weekend at the Olivier Awards. Nominated for five awards despite a cast of unknowns and a story about an unknown, it is the real-life tale of a gay teenager who decided one day he wanted to wear a dress to his school prom.

The real-life Jamie and his mum Margaret talk about the journey from County Durham to the West End stage.
