REMEMBER MY 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.
1995: FAME The Musical 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: The 30th anniversary of that landmark production, and we are ready to reimagine 1980’s New York in a bold revival of this beloved story. Featuring songs from the iconic movie of the same name.
A Theatre Royal Plymouth production directed and choreographed by Theatre Royal Plymouth’s Associate Artistic Director, Tom Jackson Greaves (The Book Thief and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry), with set design by Soutra Gilmour (Evita, Sunset Boulevard and & Juliet) and casting by Stuart Burt (Jamie Lloyd Company and Cabaret).
