    Avg. Event Rating (4.8 Stars): 5 out of 5 stars rating Add Review/Comment

    Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984), Fame - The Musical is bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work. With candor, humor and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today: issues of prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy, sexuality, substance abuse and perseverance.

        Wow, what an awesome bunch of talented young people!! Dancing, singing, acting, playing instruments. Sets were simple but effective, providing a multi-level backdrop on which all the action unfolds. Costumes and light were perfect, not overbearing and not understated. If you have to choose one live theatrical experience from the many that are available, this one should be high on your list! Collapse

        I saw opening night of this show, yes it wasn't sold out, but the cast did not let that get to them. The opening Number was by far the most exciting i have seen in a while. The singing, the dancing... and he acting these performers did... were amazing. The set was nice too, to to much and not to little.. they use every inch of that set. The lighting was amazing too the colors were nice. I loved love loved it! I am going to see it again, and i advise you too! Collapse
