Everybody’s talking about Jamie

Rhiannon, Naomi, Barbara (Naomi’s friend), Mary and I went to see Everybody’s Talking about Jamie tonight – held in only select theatres across Canada. 

 The show was brought to the West End and then put in movie theatres. 

 Mary met an acquaintance in the hall who said that she had seen it when she went to London this summer.

We talked about the show on the way home. We loved the following:

1. the cross-dressers and their extravagant costumes.

2. some of the songs – especially the one by the mother, which Naomi said, made a few tears come out of her eyes.

3. the exploration of the psyche of a boy who wants to wear high heels and a dress.

4. we had to come home look up the word minger, since it is a bad word that was used often in the show, but we didn't know what it meant.  :-)
