About us
Dir. Alan Parker, 1980, US, 128 mins. Cast. Irene Cara, Gene Anthony Ray, Debbie Allen, Lee Curreri.
In celebration of the upcoming Theatre Royal Plymouth production of FAME The Musical, we are very excited to be able to screen the Alan Parker-directed original film that the musical is based on.
1995: FAME The Musical had its European premiere at Theatre Royal Plymouth, marking the start of an incredible journey from screen to stage. That unforgettable production ran for over a decade in the West End, toured extensively and inspired hundreds of thousands of theatre lovers worldwide.
2025: The 30th anniversary of that landmark production, and we are ready to reimagine 1980's New York in a bold revival of this beloved story. Featuring songs from the iconic movie of the same name.
Fame helped to launch the 1980s on a tide of aspiration, creating a successful television series, kick-starting the leg-warmer industry and inspiring us all with the idea that with talent, a lot of hard work, plenty of suffering and luck, anybody might, one day, become a star. In truth, Parker's film is a collage of the disciplines on offer at New York's High School of Performing Arts. Parker is brilliant at conveying the intensity and heartache of the students' journey, from the paralysing nerves of the auditions to the strain of maintaining a rounded education alongside the development of performance skills and the ultimate thrill of graduation. By the end, thanks to the familiarity of the thudding disco soundtrack, you really do want them all to live forever.
