In 1995, FAME had its European premiere at TRP, marking the start of an incredible journey from screen to stage. That unforgettable production ran for over a decade in the West End, toured extensively and inspired hundreds of thousands of theatre lovers worldwide.
Now, on the 30th anniversary of that landmark production, Theatre Royal Plymouth in association with Jamie Wilson Productions are reimagining a bold new revival of the musical for the 21st century that will include songs from the iconic 1980’s movie.
1980, Manhattan, New York. Amid the relentless noise and chaos of the city lies a sanctuary for young artists: The High School of Performing Arts. FAME follows a group of students from enrolment to graduation, as they come-of-age through their shared passion for music, drama and dance. This is a raw and unapologetic journey into the heart of showbiz – where talent and ambition collide with sacrifice and the harsh reality of chasing your dreams.
