Everybody's Talking About Jamie is produced in the West End by Nica Burns, Ian Osborne, Paula Marie Black, Teresa and Craig Beech. The musical has drawn inspiration from the story of Jamie Campbell and his mother, Margaret. It is a dramatised portrayal of a period in Jamie's life, but is not a faithful account. Certain events and characters have been fictionalised.
