Why do I feel like Buck would listen to Everybody's Talking About Jamie?
As well as Eddie listening to ABBA (yes I think his favourite musical would be Mamma Mia!)
I wouldn't put it passed the two to go to London to see the two shows as a holiday to get away from work.

I watched a live production of "Everybody's Talking About Jamie", and I loved it, but I have to say, I'm a little disappointed in the ending, because I hate that it pushes this narrative of "You can be queer, so long as you're quiet about it", because it's always "We're not against it, just stop shouting about it", but then they try to erase us completely. We've always had to be loud, because we get ignored and erased if we don't.

Were we foolish to believe that a painted face can't grieve?
We were hopelessly naive and just out of time
Every heart is made to break
Sometimes love is a big mistake
Every weekend was a wake
But weren't we divine?
This was me.

Yesterday I watched the Everybody’s Talking About Jamie movie and it reminded me of one of the things I love most about the show.
If someone who knew absolutely nothing about ETAJ came up to me and asked me what it was about, I would go with the simple answer: it’s about a boy who wants to be a drag queen. But that would be a superficial answer, and I would say something very different if I was asked what the show is really about: it’s about finding balance.
When we are first introduced to Jamie, one of the first things we notice is his inflated self confidence, his ego, his arrogance: that is evident in the show’s opening number, as he states that “it’s the Jamie show” and that everyone else is his “backing band”. Additionally, at the end of “Over The Top” Hugo asks Jamie what this all is about he replies “It’s about me!”, and that’s how they choose Mimi Me as his drag name.
Although that element persists and gets more intense throughout the whole show, we are also gradually introduced to another aspect of his character: the deep hatred he has for himself, probably due to the trauma he has from the way his father treated him growing up. Jamie deeply believes himself to be ugly (see “Ugly In This Ugly World”) and that he deserves physical pain.
We slowly come to realize that his self-hatred is probably the cause for his arrogance- it’s an overcompensation. But it is clear that this lack of balance is a great cause of unhappiness not only for him, but also for the people around him, who he ends up hurting with his lack of emptiness and his constant need for attention.
The only way for Jamie to stop hurting himself and his loved ones (expecially his mother and Pritti) is to find the right balance: he needs to learn how to love and appreciate himself, but he also needs to learn that not everything always revolves around him.
At the end, that balance has been found, and you can tell that Jamie’s found peace: as he now has a good relationship with himself, he doesn’t feel the need to overcompensate by always hoarding the attention. I think there’s an element in particular that is the proof of this found balance.
In Spotlight, Pritti sings to Jamie: “In a place where you belong”. The whole song is centered around Jamie, and how he’s a star, and how he belongs in the spotlight- it’s all you, you, you. It signifies how obsessed Jamie is with himself and how the people around him go along with it, for whatever reason. A similar line is reprised in “Ugly In This Ugly World”, except now it’s Jamie singing: “There’s a place where I belong”. Again, Jamie is only concerned about himself, but this time he’s not celebrating himself and his destiny of greatness; rather, he’s deep into self-loathing. He is still very much obsessed with himself, but we are shown the other side of his obsession. Finally, yet another similar line is reprised in the finale, “Out Of The Darkness”, and this time it’s sung by Jamie and all of the other characters: “In A Place Where We Belong”. For the first time, it’s not “You” or “I”- it’s we. Other people finally come into the equation.
