BIANCA DEL RIO Everybody's Talking About Jamie

In 2019, Bianca Del Rio/Roy Haylock took over the role of Loco Chanelle/Hugo in the 2017 West End musical hit "Everybody's Talking About Jamie." Layton Williams was the new Jamie New. Bianca Del Rio and Layton Williams will star in the US stage premiere of "Jamie" in Los Angeles in early '22.

Bianca Del Rio is a brilliant, totally professional queen and entertainer, a throwback to the old performers of yore from the world of vaudeville and music hall. She is quite unique, and yet very relatable. She can turn her hand to most projects, and can adapt as required. A true pro.

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Agreed--Bianca here is extremely appealing and in complete command.

AGREED!!!

AND Vinegar Strokes, What a combo

[@MrMdprosser]

After watching the original cast with a straight actor playing this part, and now seeing an actual gay drag queen, it really just feels so much more natural. It's a shame they didn't cast Bianca/Roy originally. Thank you so much for posting this. It made my day seeing it.

[@adriangroenewald3825]

Whilst I do agree that it’s great to have a gay guy in the role, I quite enjoy having an old straight guy who you would never expect to be a drag queen becoming this amazing character

[@xsekhmetx]

That’s what acting is though? Unless it’s an actual visual thing, it shouldn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter who is playing what. As long as you don’t have White people playing POC or POC playing White people.

[@ludekmaly3900]

@@xsekhmetx No, it still matter in regards of giving Trans and Gay people the opportunity to play in roles made for them , and in general to play roles since they can't get roles as effortlesly as straight actors. Also being raised and seeped in a culture your playing helps immensely with coming off as legit and not offensive.

[@johnrupert5606]

@@ludekmaly3900 Roles are not created for gay, trans or whatever people. Art is art. So, no it doesn't matter. Also, what are you talking about gay people not being able to get cast as effortlessly as straight people? How many actors on Broadway are gay? Yes, far more than the percentage of gay people in general population, lol. No one is going to ask you at an audition whether you're gay, straight, bi, trans, asexual or whatever. Because what matters, or what should matter at least, is your profession as an actor and your ability to portray the role you're auditioning for, not your identity, sexuality, race, favorite color or other aspects of your personality when you're not acting. Also, have some of you ever considered that *maybe* some professional artists don't *want* to be rated in terms of their sexuality, identity or whatever when portraying a character? Maybe they don't even want to know everyone what their sexuality is, because it has NOTHING do to with them doing their job. Being raised in a culture doesn't mean you're going to be able to portray a certain character, may it be a character of that culture or not. What matters is talent, training and professionalism. Musical theater is art, not politics or campaigns. A straight person playing a gay role in a musical isn't "offensive", it's completely fine and isn't related to them being good or bad at doing their job.

Dont start the first hugo in the west end was so iconic and amazing dont discredit him

[@abbisaenz]

I got to see Bianca/Roy in this show right before lockdown. She’s been one of my favorite drag queens for a while, but watching her perform in “Jamie” was further proof that she’s a natural born entertainer. Just fantastic. Thank you for posting this video!!

[@thebeebz9511]

Remember when Bianca says some queens release albums that shouldn't? I had no idea he sang.

[@benjaminfoster7560]

She says herself that she can’t sing, but she can certainly hold a tune well enough to get away with it lol

[@alinak9412]

he’s literally done theater and musical theater since he was baby so it would make sense for him to have a decent voice 😊

[@Gfriend_Buddy99]

It doesn't help that her runner up are those two song bird ....

No WAY!!! My two favorite worlds (musical theater and drag) have collided in to one delicious package! I had no idea. I LOVE Bianca. Oh Spiderwoman. You delight me!!!

These videos are amazing, I wish they can be fully released considering it is hard to find great quality videos of this amazing show.

[@randorific333]

Thanks for posting this! I just finished watching the film adaptation. I was fortunate enough to see the play with Bianco Del Rio and Faye Tozer in June 2019. It truly is an amazing musical.

!!!!!!!Aw HELL YEAH!!!!!!

[@matthunter05]

Do you have the full show with Roy/Bianca and Layton?!?! 😍🥺

[@fanofmany71]

Bianca and some other winners of older Drag Race seasons are slowly being forgotten. Even when RuPaul reminds us, we're like, oh ya... next. They really need an all winners Drag Race but they need serious coin there to bring back those girls.

[@missorville7004]

Okay but literally no one is forgetting about Bianca del rio

[@ashtoncruz2463]

You mean Bianca with the currently sold out World Tour Bianca being forgotten? LOLOLOLOL bitch please.

Bianca forgotten? Hmmm

Omg! Thanks for posting this video; where can I find the entire video with Layton William?

[@drasonmeerrkat2617]

I saw Shane Richie in the role he was fabulous

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Yes, he was quite good, and I believe is scheduled to return to the show.

[@dollyknockers]

@@auroraspiderwoman5886 he is scheduled to continue with the touring production along with Leyton when it restarts after lockdown.

[@KevinSigman]

I know it doesn’t really matter, but I’m just curious. Do they explain why Hugo has an American accent or is it one of those you just accept that Hugo is an American who migrated to Sheffield at some early point in his life?

[@tomalan645]

I think it’s purely because Roy / Bianca is America. Hugo is always played with a Sheffield accent by others that have played him, but when in drag usually has an American accent.

[@simonewardle3742]

In an interview he said the explanation for the American accent was because the character lived in the USA for years.

[@clarabrandaog]

WAIT, WHERE DO I GET THIS

Does a full boot exist?

Roy clearly sings in this, all theatre performers do it! 8 shows a week... but watch his interview he did whilst this run was happening, he explains his role as both Roy and Bianca. Just do search on KZbin.
