Advantages: Funny, emotion

Disadvantages: change of script sometimes!, coming to end of its sell by date

Fame started out a movie in the early 70's, the a t.v. series and now the fame high school is still working but with the new class, does it still do it justice?

I believe it does. I saw Fame - the musical at the edinburgh playhouse and about to see it again in cheltenham in septemeber. The Cast strong singers, actors and dancers (hard to find in some shows this day) starts off slow with "i pray i make P.A.", p.a. being the school of performing arts. The bursts with energy when lampchops recieves a letter that she has been accepted, then from that time on until the end the energy never ceases!

Every emotion is available in this musical from "I can't keep it down", i think you can guess what this is about if you have not saw it to songs like that haunting dialougue that schlomo quotes after hearing his girlfriend has overdosed herself. " This song (bring on tommorow) is written by a very talented student, Carmen - Are you listening carmen. We will always remember your name!"

The charcters are very funny and some based on the t.v series for example schlomo is based on bruno the piano player. Then there is the actor nick and serena who have some amazing romatic songs considering she thinks he is gay. Then Joe the comedian of the year which seems to joke his way through the year while tyrone the dancer struggles through his education as he can't read and does not want any help!

The only downside is I have saw this show many times both amatuer and proffesinal and there is two deaths scenes, one scene when carmen is killed by a train, (commited suicide) and you hear the train and you hear her scream which is hair standing on edge time which is amazing and really adds to the effect of schlomo words at the end but the other one is she takes an overdose and she does nothing!

Sad, funny but very energetic and also spine-tingling if you get the train !
