Jamie New is 16 and doesn’t quite fit in—instead of pursuing a "real" career he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure: he is going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mom and his amazing friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.

Interesting how even the smallest mention of queer struggles and the aids crisis makes me SOB

well-crafted musical about a queer teen with high aspirations of doing drag, but apart from that it isn't particularly trailblazing. i will however commend the one number from miss loco that bridged the gap on the british gay rights movement.
