OH YES ITS TRUE

Now as much as i love fame the musical, due to the fact it brings in young people in to the theatre(and i was in it for over 2 years hehe)THIS IS ONE STEP TO FAR.
They will be a sequal to fame the musical called fame forever

I kid you not

I adore Fame. Had a blast when I did it (I was Schlomo) but I pray it doesnt actually happen. Like what the hell can happen. Carmen comes back from the dead? Nick really comes out? Joe gets a girl? Come on why kill something good?

Fame Forever takes place 30 years after the original fame the musical and it catches up with the graduates of the fame high school and we find out what happened to them and if they made it.It also follow's there children who are now at the same high school and because all there children go there they reunite for the first time in 30 years.

Fame was a lot of fun. Excellent choreographies and dance numbers.

No, it's why extend the life of something dreadful?

FAME had a lot of great things about it and out lasted some massive musicals in the UK and the rest of the world(except america),but i have to say this is a BAD idea.

sequal's to musicals do not work,Annie 2,Bring Back Birdie anyone?

Its nto a masterpice but it is a fun entertaining show. Defintiyl isnt dreadful. And 30 years later to reunite. That actually might sorta be intresting.

im actually excited to see this.

Fame on 42nd street was my favorite for awhile, although most people didn't like it.


A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it, but all she really dreams is to make someone else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer. And that is so beautiful-Anonymous

This could be..interesting. I love the original, but please let's not kill this wonderful material like we did with a certain other sequel...Annie 2. (Although some would argue that "Annie" was born to die anyway...)

No, it's dreadful. A piece of crap, actually. A hideous re-write of the movie, changing the character's names ("Shlomo?" I opened the Playbill and asked "Are they f*cking KIDDING me?") and cynically capitalizing on the brand name and a bit of the famous theme song.

all musicals end up capitalizing on something especially an established name.

Wicked,DRS,Light In The Piazza,Footloose,Jersey Boys,Phantom,billy Elliot,Les Miserables,La Cage,Little Shop

Etc Etc Etc

Is there any more information on this? Any early plot summary beyond what you have given?

"sequal's to musicals do not work,Annie 2,Bring Back Birdie anyone?"

March of the Falsettos? Falsettoland? Both were sequels that completed the Marvin trilogy and did rather well.

But I agree that Fame Forever is a hideous idea. Has anyone ever wondered what happened to the students in the movie Fame, much less the watered-down stage version? Who cares?

Musical sequels...

Anyone remember Andrew Lloyd Webber's great attempt to create a PHANTOM II?

Also, Ritz O'Brien was working on a second Rocky for the stage (Shock Treatment is a film and doesn't really classify as a direct sequel)
