New cast announced for Everybody’s Talking About Jamie

We found out this morning that two big names will be joining the cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie in March. Rufus Hound will join as Hugo/ Loco Chanelle from 16 March, and Katy Brand will join as Miss Hedge from 3 March

Katy Brand said:

‘Joining the cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie is a truly thrilling opportunity for me.  If I could tell my teenage self that I would one day have the chance to perform in a huge hit show on the West End stage, that girl would pinch herself.  Jamie gets to realise his dream every night, and now so do I!’

Rufus Hound said:

‘I’m absolutely thrilled to be going into the cast of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie – a brilliant, brave and British smash hit. I have been waxing for the last year in anticipation and am currently so tucked I may as well be a Ken doll. Bring. It. On.’
