SYNOPSIS – ‘FAME, THE MUSICAL’

An unmistakable title from the unforgettable film and television franchise, FAME, The Musical inspired generations to fight for fame and light up the sky like a flame!  Conceived and developed by David De Silva – now known affectionately to the planet as “Father Fame” – this high-octane musical features Academy Award-winning title song and a host of other catchy pop numbers.  The show follows the final class of New York City’s celebrated High School for the Performing Arts from their admission to their graduation.  All the struggles, fears and triumphs – from prejudice to substance abuse – are depicted with razor-sharp focus as the young artists navigate the worlds of music, drama and dance.

Liz Yerkovich, the Director/Choreographer for FAME, THE MUSICAL claims “art imitates life” as she is a choreographer and dance instructor in her everyday life at The Dance Company in Frankfort, IL and witnesses every day the sacrifices and triumphs in the lives of her dancers.
