Fame The Musical is set to tour the UK in a new 30th anniversary tour opening at Manchester Palace on 20 July 2018.
Based on the 1980 film, Fame The Musical follows the lives of students at New York’s High School for the Performing Arts as they navigate their way through the highs and lows, the romances and the heartbreaks and the ultimate elation of life.
Fame the Musical has seen seven West End runs since opening in Miami 1988. This production will be presented by Selladoor Worldwide, producers of Footloose, Avenue Q, Little Shop of Horrors and Flashdance The Musical, with Adam Paulden and Dan Looney. With casting to be announced, Fame will be directed and choreographed by Nick Winston with design by Morgan Large.
David Hutchinson, executive creative director of Selladoor, says: “This new tour for 2018 celebrates the 30 years since the premiere of the production and will very much have its roots in the style and nostalgia of the original musical.
“Selladoor are dedicated to bringing large-scale theatre to as broad an audience as possible across the UK and internationally, and we’re delighted to add another classic musical to our ever-growing portfolio.”
