Now for the diva we’ve all been waiting for: Jamie New 🩵👠
Played by Colin Redmond, Jamie is just turning 16 and finishing his final year at school. However, he cares little for his exams and revised reluctantly. He is best friends with Pritti, who tries to encourage him to take his school work seriously. Jamie is openly gay and flamboyantly camp, and is ready to pursue his passion and become a drag queen.

Colin has been acting onstage for the last 10 years and singing for even longer but only returned to stage this year. Previously representing Dublin West in the Irish Youth Music Awards Programme, performing in a multitude of different musicals for different stage schools, from “Warner Huntington” in Legally Blonde, “Pugsley Adams” in Adams Family and previously playing Scullery in our production of “Road” earlier this year, although he feels Jamie New is definitely his most challenging role as of yet and is very excited to bring him to life onstage.
