Fame

A reinvention of the original Oscar®-winning hit film packed with explosive music and dance, Fame follows a talented group of dancers, singers, actors, and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, a diverse, creative powerhouse where students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame...the kind that comes only from talent, dedication, and hard work. In an incredibly competitive atmosphere, each student's passion will be put to the test. As they strive for their moment in the spotlight, mentored by the best – and toughest – teachers, they'll discover who among them has the innate skills and necessary dedication to succeed.
