Information
Sydney, get ready for the new high-energy production of FAME THE MUSICAL. Produced by John Frost and directed and choreographed by So You Think You Can Dance’s Kelley Abbey, the musical that inspired new generations to fight for fame and light up the sky like a flame is back!
This multi-million dollar production of FAME THE MUSICAL , featuring some of the most dynamic choreography you’ll ever see in the theatre, is coming to Sydney for a Strictly Limited Season at the Capitol Theatre from October 14.
FAME is, almost uniquely, a classic of cinema, television and music theatre. The movie, released in 1980, won an Academy Award and swept the world. The TV show ran for six seasons, won numerous Emmy Awards and was broadcast in over 70 countries. FAME THE MUSICAL ran for a decade on London’s West End and has been seen by over ten million people worldwide. It follows the story of a diverse group of students at New York City’s celebrated High School of the Performing Arts who inspired a generation.
Audience members will no doubt remember Talia Fowler’s name when she takes to the stage. The So You Think You Can Dance 2009 winner will play the classically trained ballerina Iris Kelly. In a case of life imitating art, Talia, who began training in ballet, jazz and tap aged 3, and enjoyed an inspiring and enviable career as a ballerina prior to her win, recently turned down a contract with the San Francisco Ballet company to take up this role!
Playing the role of the cheeky Tyrone will be Nigerian born Timomatic. Tim has inspired dance students of all ages and has built a solid reputation as a leader of Hip Hop culture as well as making the Top 8 for the 2009 So You Think You Can Dance.
Ever popular performer Andrew McFarlane, seen most recently in Underbelly, but known to many for his role in the long running soap The Sullivans, will play Mr Myers the drama teacher at the New York High School of Performing Arts. Joining him on stage in the role of music teacher Mr Scheinkopf is another long serving performer, the loveable Brian Wenzel, best known for his role as Sergeant Frank Gilroy from A Country Practice.
Audiences in Melbourne and Brisbane have already flocked see the show, and critics have raved:
“Should not be missed!” - Courier Mail
“A high-octane rocket ride!” - The Age
“Feverish, furiously energetic!” - The Australian
“Fame is fantastic, fun, funny.” - Brisbane Times
“Passionate, razor sharp!” - Courier Mail
Don’t miss this gritty urban drama awash with passion! FAME THE MUSICAL will take the audience to the pinnacle of desire and revive memories of youth, love, energy and risk.
