Fame Forever, the official sequel to the smash hit musical Fame, will receive its professional world premiere in a fully staged production at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End for one night only on Monday 8th September 2014 ahead of an anticipated 2015 / 2016 UK tour.
Conceived and developed by David De Silva (producer of the Academy Award winning film Fame, consulting producer on the popular TV series, and the driving force behind Fame the Musical) with music by Steve Margoshes, (composer of the original musical, and book and lyrics by Ben H Winters), Fame Forever picks up the story of the characters 20 years on.
It’s the 20th Reunion of the Class of ’84, two decades since the original musical’s characters graduated from New York’s famed La Guardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts and there’s a whole new generation pursuing their singular ambition of fame.
Serena Katz, once a promising actress, is now an English teacher at the school. Nick Piazza – her high school sweetheart – a huge (and rich) TV star. Tyrone Jackson has his own dance company, the Tyron Jackson Dance Theatre. Mabel Washington – now a weather girl – has her daughter at the school, as does radio DJ, Joe Vegas. Even the spirit of Carmen Diaz, still 18, makes an appearance to see how life, her classmates and time have passed her by.
