FAME The Musical

Musical

2026 30th Anniversary Theatre Royal Plymouth Directed by Tom Jackson Greaves

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. From first audition to final curtain call, FAME follows a group of students as they come-of-age through their shared passion for music, drama and dance. This is a raw journey into the heart of showbiz – where a joyous community of talent and ambition collides with the sacrifice and harsh reality of chasing your dreams. Powered by an unforgettable score that defined a generation, this production is the first to feature songs from the iconic 1980 movie, capturing the authentic 80’s spirit audiences know and love.
