Fame - The Musical chronicles the odyssey from audition to graduation of a group of students at New York City’s High School of the Performing Arts. Driven by the compulsion for fame, these characters from diverse backgrounds experience common triumphs and tragedies along their journey.
Fame was originally released as a movie in 1980, earning four Academy Award nominations and winning the Oscar for its musical score. Running for six years on network television and in syndication, Fame also won several Emmy Awards. It also became a highly rated reality series on NBC in the summer of 2003.
Eddie Brown and Karen Wills will give a lecture 30 minutes before each performance in the Lied’s Steinhart Room.
Fame - The Musical will perform at 7:30 p.m. March 5, 2 and 7:30 p.m. March 6, and 2 p.m. March 7. Tickets are $45, $39 and $35; tickets are half-price for university students with identification and those 18 and under. Call the Lied box office at 472-4747 or (800) 432-3231 for tickets.
