The new film adaptation of the popular stage musical makes a couple of changes to the tracklist. <\/p>
Ever since it opened at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield back in 2017, the stage musical Everybody\u2019s Talking About Jamie<\/a> has become a huge word of mouth hit.<\/p>\n And after a transfer to London\u2019s West End, a UK-wide tour, and several Olivier Award nominations, now the musical has been adapted into a film \u2013 with original writer Tom MacRae and composer Dan Gillespie Sells reworking their own show for the big screen.<\/p>\n For the most part, the songs used in the original musical have made their way into the film as well \u2013 albeit with a couple of exceptions \u2013 while there is also a brand new number written especially for the movie.<\/p>\n That song is titled This Was Me, and helps to provide a detailed backstory for Jamie New\u2019s drag queen mentor Hugo \u2013 replacing the track The Legend of Loco Chanelle (and the Blood Red Dress) from the musical.<\/p>\n Explaining the reasons for including the new song, Tom MacRae told RadioTimes.com<\/a>, \u201cIn the stage show when Jamie asks Hugo what happened in the \u201980s Hugo tells him this bombastic fantasy fable, and in the stage show that\u2019s good because we\u2019re trying to keep the energy going at that point.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in the film, we thought what if when Jamie asks that question Hugo tells him the truth? So we go back in time, we see how wonderful it was but also how terrible it was, how fierce they were and why they had to be so fierce \u2013 the loss, the struggle, the pain, the glamour, the beauty, the fierceness.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIt felt like it was the right time for Jamie as a character and as a product to start acknowledging those stories so Jamie sees that he\u2019s part of this whole history. There is a weight on his shoulders and drag has this fantastic history. Now it\u2019s his turn to figure out what to do with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n Max Harwood, who takes on the title role, is a self-confessed music lover and says that when he was first cast in the role the most exciting aspect for him was having the chance to bring some of these numbers to the screen.<\/p>\n And there\u2019s one song, in particular, that he was particularly thrilled to be able to perform.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I watched the show, The Wall in My Head, for me, it was like, \u2018Oh, well, I have to sing that song!’\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I loved\u2026 I was speaking to Jonathan [Butterell, director] early on in the process after I\u2019d got the job, about what we were going to do, and he said they would go into this garden, they were going to build this wall, and it looked out on Sheffield and I was gonna walk along this really high wall in the hills \u2013 and I was so excited to do it.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd when I watched it back in the film, I was like, wow, that\u2019s like the moment that we captured that will be like a superpower forever. Because it\u2019s like, this really was the start for me. And I really love the song as well.\u201d<\/p> Check out the full soundtrack list for the film below:<\/p>\n (All songs composed by Dan Gillespie Sells with lyrics by Tom MacRae)<\/em><\/p>\n Don\u2019t Even Know It<\/strong> \u2013 performed by Jamie (Max Harwood) and Year 11<\/p>\n Wall in My Head<\/strong> \u2013 performed by Jamie (Max Harwood)<\/p>\n Spotlight<\/strong> \u2013 performed by Pritti (Lauren Patel), Jamie (Max Harwood) and Ensemble<\/p>\n This Was Me<\/strong> \u2013 performed Hugo (Richard E.
