Noah Thomas to star in title role of Everybody's Talking About Jamie
After open auditions for the title role in Everybody's Talking About Jamie, it has been announced that Noah Thomas will make his West End debut as Jamie at the Apollo Theatre next year.
Noah Thomas will take over the lead role from Layton Williams from 6th January 2020, with Layton Williams reprising his performance in the show's national tour.
Speaking about the audition process, Thomas said: "Only two weeks ago I was studying at Mountview and had very little time to prepare for the audition, which I saw as a chance to gain some experience in the industry. I was asked back the next day, not expecting anything, and they asked me if I would like to play Jamie. I couldn't believe it... This is so surreal and I am so ready for whatever this experience holds."
