Fame The Musical

International Hit Version

The pop-culture phenomenon about the legendary New York High School of the Performing Arts lives forever.

An unmistakable title from the unforgettable film and television franchise, Fame The Musical inspired generations to fight for fame and light up the sky like a flame! Conceived and developed by David De Silva – now known affectionately to the planet as "Father Fame" – this high-octane musical features the Academy Award-winning title song and a host of other catchy pop numbers.

The show follows the final class of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts from their admission in 1980 to their graduation in 1984. All of the struggles, fears and triumphs – from prejudice to substance abuse – are depicted with razor-sharp focus as the young artists navigate the worlds of music, drama and dance.

Fame is an international sensation that continues to reach new generations of performers and audience members. The show provides great opportunities to feature a diverse talent pool and showcase artistic mediums like dancing, singing, acting, rapping and musicianship.

What resources come with a non-jr. show? What liberties do directors have when it comes to the script?

I'm a student who is directing a musical for my CAPSTONE project, and was wondering what resources come with a normal length show. I don't have an orchestra at my disposal, so cds with the music would be helpful but I'm not sure if that is just a jr. thing. Also, when it comes to the jr. version vs. the full version, are we allowed to either cut down a few songs from a full version (for appropriateness/talent ability) or add a few lines to a jr. version (to tell important aspects of the story that were cut)?
