It won Best New Musical at the Whatโs On Stage Awards, as well as being nominated for a host of other awards.
โThis musical is a celebration of how we can see parts of ourselves in others, embracing our differences and connecting with our similarities. We have an overwhelming capacity to accept,โ says Director Paul Griffiths.
โItโs a powerful coming of age story, wrapped up in humour, great music, emotion and exuberant energy that will inspire, entertain and make you laugh all at the same time.โ
โSometimes we wrestle with a world that only sees things in a particular dimension. Jamie bravely breaks barriers and becomes a hero for defying being put in a box that doesnโt fit. He is the ultimate celebration of individuality.โ
