Overview/Synopsis:
From the hit motion pictures, television series, and international stage success, FAME is nothing short of a global phenomenon. Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984), FAME Jr. is the bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work.  With candor, humor and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today. With its topical subject matter, multi-ethnic cast of actors, singers, dancers, and instrumentalists and high-energy, contemporary pop score which includes the hit title song, FAME Jr. is an ideal musical for young performers.
