Tuesday 16th April to Saturday 20th April 2024

The award-winning Young Gen return to Chelmsford Theatre bringing to the stage this West End smash hit musical! This is the story of Jamie New, a sixteen-year-old from Sheffield. Jamie feels that he doesn’t quite fit in, however, supported by his brilliant loving mum and good friends, Jamie overcomes adversity, beats the school bullies, and realises his dream. This heartwarming, funny and touching musical with a brilliant score, celebrates diversity, self-acceptance and inclusion and is a show not to be missed!

Chelmsford Young Generation is a music and drama society (charity registered) for young people aged 8 to 18, established in 1968. They work with professional directors to perform two shows each year at the Chelmsford Theatre.

The fact that Young Gen work with professional directors allied with the hard work and dedication from the young people on stage and the myriad of volunteers who help out with the many aspects of putting on a great show, from the wardrobe department through to the set builders and backstage crew, allows the society to produce performances of the highest calibre.

Being a member of Young Gen gives young people an extremely wide range of life skills. Working as part of a dedicated team of people of all ages from diverse backgrounds, gives the “Young Genners” a unique opportunity to grow in confidence on an individual basis as well as being part of a group that strives, not only to put on tremendous shows but to have fun and develop new skills while doing so.
