Critically-acclaimed 30th anniversary tour of 'Fame the Musical' is coming to Oxford!

Fame the Musical, currently on a critically acclaimed UK Tour, announces that TV star Jorgie Porter, soul legend Mica Paris and theatre star Keith Jack are confirmed for all 2019 dates on the tour.

And the show comes to the New Theatre Oxford from February 13 to 16, 2019!

Based on the 1980 phenomenal pop culture film, Fame The Musical is the international smash-hit sensation following 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 heart breaks and the ultimate elation of life. This bittersweet but up lifting triumph of a show explores the issues that confront many young people today: prejudice, identity, pride, literacy, sexuality, substance abuse and perseverance.

David De Silva- the conceiver of Fame and known as ‘Father Fame’ - says of this anniversary production: “What makes a musical ‘a classic’ or a ‘masterpiece’? It takes time. It passes from one generation to the next. It translates from one language to many.  It entertains an audience with both laughter and tears. It inspires youth with passion and parents with nostalgia.

“The brilliantly directed and choreographed 30th anniversary Fame UK production of the show by Nick Winston is the best I’ve ever seen.”
