Synopsis
The Runar Borge production is inspired by Alan Parker's Oscar-winning film and the popular American television series. Set in New York's legendary High School for the Performing Arts, Fame follows a group of talented students in their quests for stardom and success as well as in their struggles with romance and other teenaged relationships.
Our Review: 

28 October 1998
Note: The following review dates from this production's 1998 run at the Prince of Wales Theatre. For current cast details, please see the Fame the Musical listing entry.
New York's School for the Performing Arts must be suffering from some kind of talent shortage this semester. That's what you'd think, anyway, having witnessed the students in Fame the Musical. They're an uninspiring bunch, who often look lumpish in the dancing department, off-key in singing, and decidedly wooden when it comes to drama.
Still, these are small crimes compared with those perpetrated by the creators of this misbegotten show. If anyone deserves to flunk out, its these guys, for dreaming up the collection of dim-witted songs and lycra-thin plot lines in the first place.

For the past four months I have sat in a dark hovel infected with lurid thoughts and dangerous anxieties. I approached the point where the mind says enough, go out, do something. I decided to retire to my favourite of past times the theatre's. Whilst walking through the dank streets of London I come across a poster filled with colour proclaiming the word FAME! This set off an almost religious fervour, this is it salvation. I instantly purchased m ticket and arrived at my seat with seconds to spare and then it started. Oh my brothers and sisters how can one explain the depths of hell, watching this reminded me of what the persecuted must have felt in Spain at the time of the inquisition. You dont need to read Milton, glimpse this but I warn you, not for too long, around me sat many members of the public enthralled, surely the prime minister must know of this brain washing. Needless to say I am back in my hovel and have not been out since....
