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.
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.
Following its European premiere here at Theatre Royal Plymouth in 1995, we’re delighted to be reimagining a bold revival of this beloved story to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
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).
