FAME - The Musical

Accompanied by a live orchestra, Lights Up Theatre Company will be bringing this vibrant extravaganza of a musical to Riverside this August!

DIRECTED BY BEN LEVY
MUSICAL DIRECTOR: BEN LEVY
CHOREOGRAPHY: VENESSA CHAPMAN

Share the heartache, the passion, the legwarmers and the bandanas of New York's Performing Arts students as they strive for success in the tough world of Theatre and Dance. 


The stage musical version of Fame is based on the 1980 film of the same name, which was conceived and developed by David De Silva, with a book by Jose Fernandez, music by Steve Margoshes and lyrics by Jacques Levy.

It tells the story of several students who attend the High School of Performing Arts in New York, among them fame-obsessed drug addict Carmen, shy actress Serena, wisecracking comedian Joe, smart violinist Schlomo, and 'talented but dyslexic' dancer Tyrone.

Well known hits include I Want to Make Magic, Fame, Dancin’ on the Sidewalk and Bring on Tomorrow. With a very talented cast of actors, singers and dancers, this is a show not to be missed, it will have you dancin’ all the way home!
This amateur production is produced by arrangement with Josef Weinberger, London.

“Dance dynamite” The Express

“Breathtaking … the energy is astounding” The Independent.

Riverside Youth Theatre's Associate Tutor in Music, Ben Levy, is currently the youngest person ever to have directed a major musical in Riverside at the age of just 17, which currently stands as a Riverside record. Ben's sell-out production of "Joseph & The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" was the biggest hit of Riverside's 2013 summer programme. And his swansong, prior to leaving Coleraine for university in September is this, a large-scale, youth production of "Fame", the musical in Riverside during late August 2014.
