Everybody's Talking About Jamie - Sheffield Crucible/Apollo

Yes, I’d forgotten there was a different dress at the end.

Well hope you enjoy your night out, so there fair warning if you want the toilets, you now know to head early!!!

Well. Judging from the wine soaked buzz last night, everybody really is talking about Jamie. Well that and why Vanessa Feltz decided that shoehorning herself into that particular frock was a wise choice.

It's a funny old show really. I really did enjoy it, it's very funny and incredibly touching without being mawkish and it's actually refreshing to see a gay teenager front and centre who isn't hiding in the closet and who finds such acceptance around him. It's an incredibly positive message which should be rightly applauded. I really enjoyed the score although I did strangely feel that the songs go on for a touch longer than they should. Dan Gillespie-Sells looks rather delicious though so I forgive him.

The cast is fabulous, Lucie Shorthouse (Pritti), Mina Anwar (Ray) and Phil Nichol (Hugo) are terrific (I want to be friends with Mina Anwar in particular) and Josie Walker is amazing. I don't think I've ever seen her in anything before but she's wonderful and her voice is a thing of beauty. It's such a shame that during one of her big numbers she's completely upstaged by a couple of young 'uns going full whack at some interpretive dance which rather distracts one from Ms Walker but it does raise a giggle. Also the rapping teacher needs to go.

John McCrea is something else though. You'd never know that this was his leading debut in London's glitzy West End. He is all over the show like an STD on 'Love Island'. And he's got enough charisma to power a rocket to the moon, you can't take your eyes off him.

Someone really does need to have a word with Jamie though. He's a lovely boy but he's got a shocking taste in frocks. RuPaul wouldn't even use them to wash his pots and pans. If indeed RuPaul did wash his own pots and pans.

I get the impression that the Rev Quentin Letts will...............................

At least we aren’t going to get “The National Theatre, which is the most subsidised Theatre in the country.”

So just done a google search, that prom outfit in the musical makes me even more fustrated now.

The dress he wore to the prom in real life was beautiful! Why couldn't he wear that?!

I was very confused by the (erm) standard of the two dresses I must say!

Ever seen Kinky Boots?

He’s my boy

He’s my boy

😂😂😂

What is it with you?! You don't like anything!

Firstly, Kinky Boots won the Olivier for Best Costume Design (beating Bend It, ironically). Secondly, if you wanna see some amazing drag costumes, that is the show to see. Lola's final two looks in themselves are worth it! I mean, I get you don't like anything, but credit where due at least ffs.

People should not mistake

Massively gaudy

And tacky

For stylish

But whilst we are on the matter

I prefer those from Aladdin

They are much gaudier

And for style

The costumes for 42nd Street are lovely

In any case

The costumes for Jamie are quite horrific
