 | Good atmosphere. The whole cast are energetic and deliver good performances. The final number is well executed. Very entertaining night out. On the down side everything was kind of disorganized at the Shaftsbury. Our seats were taking and the manager wasn't very helpful, instead of helping us he was just flirting and giving his telephone number to a young girl who was probably underage. Our problem was sorted in the end by an usher and we were grateful, but the manager didn't offered an apology for their mistake. He was literally all over this young girl who was in the row in front of us. I have never seen any manager in the West End being so unprofessional. - Kim | 19 Aug 07 |
| Review of Touring Production at Southend Cliffs Pavilion. Many people look down their noses at Fame and yet it tours constantly and has become a staple of the West End. Fame provides a showcase for some incredible young performers and this production is no exception, including Sophie Nowete, the best Mabel I have seen. The role of Serena has been played by many actresses who have gone on to bigger things, including the wonderful Julie Atherton of Avenue Q. Abi Finley, one of the ...Maria finalists, may be next; on top of a great voice she has a tremendous flair for comedy and her Brooklyn accent makes her even more reminiscent of Barbra Streisand - surely she should be the next fanny Brice in Funny Girl not Connie Fisher. Fame will never win any awards but it always guarantees a great night out and surely that is as much as anyone can ask for. - David Baxter | 04 Jul 07 |
| The entire show was amazing! Incredible dance skills shown by all. Natalie Hope as Lambchop was excellent! However, the performer who really took my breath away was Kevin McGuire as Goody! His dance skills were incredible, he always has a smile on his face which you cannot help but mirror and his acrobatics leave you sitting there blinking in disbelief! Look out for him, he's an unappriciated star! He's going to go really far! - Lin | 21 May 07 |

| Absolutely electric atmosphere. The whole cast are great and deliver the production amazingly. Ian Watkins and Natalie Casey are very impressive as Nick and Serena, and the final number has everyone on the feet clapping and dancing in the aisles. Well worth the trip to London to see this fabulous version of a classic all time favourite musical - Katie | 10 May 07 |
