While his classmates plan their livelihoods after they leave school, Jamie contemplates revealing his secret career ambition to become a fierce and proud drag queen. His best friend Pritti (Lauren Patel) and his loving mum (Sarah Lancashire) shower him with endless support, while local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle (Richard E. Grant) mentors him toward his debut stage performance. But Jamie also has to contend with an unsupportive father (Ralph Ineson), an uninspired careers advisor (Sharon Horgan), and some ignorant school kids who attempt to rain on his sensational parade. In rousing and colourful musical numbers, Jamie and his community inspire one another to overcome prejudice, be more accepting, and to step out of the darkness into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the trailer for the film:<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"AXhpTZeG4eg\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Everybody\u2019s Talking About Jamie - Official Trailer | Prime Video\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AXhpTZeG4eg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>Everybody\u2019s Talking About Jamie<\/em><\/strong> premieres globally on Amazon Prime Video on September 17<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The musical Everybody\u2019s Talking About Jamie, based on the documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16, first debuted at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England in 2017.
