I saw FAME this evening. Nicole Leach is awesome. She would make a great Mimi in RENT. I also thought Sara Schmidt who played Penny Pingleton, I mean Serena Katz was very good along with Christopher J. Hanke as Nick Piazza. He's very innocent looking and has a cool haircut. And funny, on the way home, I saw Gavin Creel!! HAHA Shakiem Evans was awesome as Tyrone Jackson. Great dancer and amazing body. He really impressed me. I hope he goes far. Cheryl Freeman and Nancy Hess made great teachers and have wonderful voices. I would recommend seeing this show. The Little Shubert was rockin', especially during the finale.

I had fun too at FAME, I loved the cast's energy. I sang at a benefit a few months back and Shakiem Evans was there and was so complimentary afterwards, I wish him the best also!

I like Fame a lot. I'm directing our college's production of it in December, so I'd better like it..

The UK website is pretty cool, very well designed.. www.famethemusical.co.uk

Aww, and you thought of me! How cute. Unfortunately Russian is not a language im familiar with, but in Italian its Fama. Famous is Famoso.

Does anyone know how FAME is doing at the box office? Like do you think it is going to close anytime soon? I wish they had the box office weekly records for off-broadway shows somewhere on this net.

Ok - I'm gonna show my complete ignorance on this topic - but what does the subject line have to do with the show? "Think of Meryl Streep"...is it a line from the play? movie?

hey - thats not fair! he may be smarter than me on some things - but in this case I simply had never seen the show so I didn't know the answer...WAH!.... but, yes - he's definitely the brains in the relationship...

Maybe you should check out FAME.

Phantom2 - I respect your opinion and I'm glad you've found a show you like - but I have spoken to a lot of people in the business who are closer to my age who really hated the show - so I think I'll follow my gut instinct on this one and skip it - though I may listen to the cd at some point if Joey has it...
