Description: FAME The Musical 2nd Production Philadelphia Walnut Street 1989 Playbill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fame is a stage musical based on the 1980 musical film of the same name. It has been staged under two titles; The first, Fame – The Musical conceived and developed by David De Silva, is a musical with a book by José Fernandez, music by Steve Margoshes and lyrics by Jacques Levy. The musical premiered in 1988 in Miami, Florida. The second was as Fame on 42nd Street, where it was performed Off-Broadway at the Little Shubert Theatre on 42nd Street from 2003 to 2004. De Silva had produced the 1980 film about students at New York City's High School of Performing Arts. The critically and commercially successful film was followed by a six-season television series, and the musical. The musical is significantly rewritten from the previous adaptations, with an almost entirely new score. The film is referred to several times in the script and in two songs. It tells the story of several students who attend the school, among them fame-obsessed Carmen, ambitious actress Serena, wisecracking comedian/bad boy Joe, quiet violinist Schlomo, "talented but dyslexic" dancer Tyrone, determined actor Nick, overweight dancer Mabel, and a serious dancer, Iris, from a poor family. The popularity of the film has led to the creation of "FAME" Schools in Liverpool (Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts). Since its first production, Fame – The Musical has had hundreds of professional and amateur productions in every major language In 1988, Fame – the Musical was the first professional production at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, Florida.
