FAME
Spectacle
Tues. 15th - Sun. 20th June 2010
One of the most successful musicals ever, Fame is all about the dreams and aspirations of young students at the High School of Performing Arts in New York. The story focuses on a group of these teenagers, following them through their work, their heartaches and their development over three years of training as they progress from rehearsals to auditions and finally graduation.
Audiences worldwide have shared those students' emotions, identifying with their quest for success interspersed with moments of friendship and romance but above all marked by their unremittingly hard work, day after day, at the High School of Performing Arts. Too hard for some in fact…
The musical has been such a global hit essentially because of the hugely energetic dancing and phenomenal choreography. In fact it's been such an enormous success in the UK and all over Europe that it's now off on yet another international tour, stopping off in Monaco to the cast's great delight!
Fame the show is based on Alan Parker's 1980 cult film that wowed the world's movie goers. Nominated in six Oscar categories, Fame the film won two Oscars, for best original score and for best original song for Fame, which the show's cast turns into a fittingly spectacular finale.
This new production features a cast of talented young artistes from London's West End theatreland.
