FAME: REIGNITED. REVIVED. REIMAGINED.
1995: FAME had its European premiere here at Theatre Royal Plymouth, marking the start of an incredible journey from screen to stage. That unforgettable production ran for over a decade in the West End, toured extensively and inspired hundreds of thousands of theatre lovers worldwide.
2025: Now, on the 30th anniversary of that landmark production, we are reimagining a bold new revival of this iconic story for the 21st century.
Directed and choreographed by Theatre Royal Plymouth’s Associate Artistic Director, Tom Jackson Greaves (The Book Thief, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Whistle Down the Wind), in collaboration with Designer, Soutra Gilmour (& Juliet and Jamie Lloyd Company’s Evita & Sunset Boulevard) with songs from the iconic 1980’s hit movie of the same name.
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. FAME follows a group of students from enrolment to graduation, as they come-of-age through their shared passion for music, drama and dance. This is a raw and unapologetic journey into the heart of showbiz – where talent and ambition collide with sacrifice and the harsh reality of chasing your dreams.
Playing a strictly limited run here in Plymouth from 28 July – 15 August 2026. Tickets on sale soon!
A Theatre Royal Plymouth production in association with Jamie Wilson Productions.
