And if the smash-hit West End production is any indication, Fame – The Musical is indeed gonna live forever. Set during the last years of New York City’s celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street, Fame – The Musical is a bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a group of students as they commit to 4 years of gruelling artistic and academic work.
