''[[Fame]]'' is a stage musical based on the 1980 musical film of the same name, with book by Jose Fernandez, music by Steve Margoshes and lyrics by Jacques Levy.

==The original text==

Fame - The Musical is a musical drama about students at a performing arts high school in New York City. The musical is based on the 1980 movie Fame. The story line captures the dreams, struggles, disappointments, joy and romances of the colourful characters as they commit to four years of gruelling artistic and academic work.

In 1988, ''[[Fame]]'' had its first professional production at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, Florida. Following this, the show ran at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from March 25, through April 29, 1989
