The 2017 BroadwayWorld UK Awards honour the best productions from the past year around the country and the best long-running West End shows. Voting is open until Friday, 8 December - just over a week away - with the winners announced soon afterwards.

There's been a real buzz of anticipation around the West End with the impending opening of Everybody's Talking About Jamie. In fact, it has felt like everybody really has been talking about it! So much so that for theatre fans, trying to watch the show without any preconceived ideas is almost impossible, such has been the positive press surrounding the new musical.

Everybody's Talking About Jamie opens tonight 22 November 2017 at the Apollo Theatre, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

A big hit at Sheffield Crucible, this new British musical - based on a documentary - about a teenage boy coming out as a drag queen gets a deserved West End transfer. It stars John McCrea, Josie Walker, Tamsin Carroll and Mina Anwar, with a score by Dan Gillespie Sells of The Feeling. BroadwayWorld has an exclusive first look below!
