ASHCON RAHMANI AND REBECCA TREHEARN
TO PLAY JAMIE AND MARGARET NEW IN
EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT JAMIE
10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR
FROM JANUARY 2027
Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield.
Jamie doesn’t quite fit in.
Jamie is terrified about the future.
Jamie is going to be a sensation.
Supported by his brilliant loving mum (Rebecca Trehearn) and surrounded by his friends, Jamie (Ashcon Rahmani) overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is pleased to announce that Ashcon Rahmani and Rebecca Trehearn will be playing the much-loved roles of Jamie and Margaret New for the 10th Anniversary tour commencing in January 2027.
Following a record-breaking three-year West End residency, two sold-out UK & Ireland Tours and Amazon Studios award-winning film, the smash-hit critically acclaimed musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie will feature a brand- new song from Dan Gillespie Sells and Tom MacRae. The tour will open in Leeds 10 years after the original opening at the Sheffield Crucible prior to the West End, national tours and playing across the world including USA, Korea, Japan and Italy. Jamie is coming home to the UK again for possibly the last time.
The 10th Anniversary tour of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie opens at Leeds Grand Theatre on 15 January 2027 before visiting Chester, Sunderland, Sheffield, Manchester, Wimbledon, Liverpool, Truro, Eastbourne, Glasgow, Birmingham, Aylesbury, Oxford, Woking, Bradford and Newcastle.
Ashcon Rahmani said “I am beyond thrilled to be making my professional debut playing Jamie in the 10th Anniversary tour of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. I grew up with this show, it was the representation I needed as a young queer boy from the north of England to know this could all be possible for me one day, so to step into those stilettoes and become the representation I once had is truly a dream come true. Jamie is iconic and I feel incredibly grateful and excited to start this journey and be sharing the stage with the wonderful Rebecca Trehearn playing my onstage mum.”
Rebecca Trehearn said “I’m thrilled to be joining the UK tour cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie to play Margaret, and to be reuniting with a creative team I adore. The relationship between Margaret and Jamie is truly special and I’m so looking forward to performing alongside Ashcon and the rest of the company. The musical’s celebration of courage, acceptance and being unapologetically yourself feels as relevant now as it did 10 years ago and I can’t wait to be part of this beautiful and uplifting show.”
