“Stop waiting for permission to be you,” is the essence of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, the film adaptation of the hit musical of the same name that was inspired by the TV documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16.
Jamie New is 16 and doesn’t quite fit in—instead of pursuing a ‘real’ career he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure: he is going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mom and his amazing friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.
The film will hit theaters February 26.
