This exuberant revival of Fame the Musical at Theatre Royal Plymouth follows aspiring performers through four years at a New York City performing arts school. Directed and choreographed by Tom Jackson Greaves, the production combines energetic movement, vivid lighting and an enthusiastic cast to portray the students’ relentless work and determination. The review especially praises Shanay Holmes as Miss Sherman and highlights the ensemble performances, while noting that the production retains the story’s darker moments and emphasizes the importance of collective effort in achieving success.
