If you have extra money and do not know what to do with you you could use it to go see Fame. The dancing was good but the singers were only fair.

WOW - what a show - we went with friends and really enjoyed the entire performance. The entire crew never stopped the entire time they were on stage. Truly believable actors who can draw you into the story and make you feel their pain and joy! Would recommend it to family and friends.

It was just okay. Choose it as a last resort of things to do, because it was still better than having nothing to take my parents to. Even though comparing to broadway probably isn't fair, I was still disappointed. Lots of off key notes and technical difficulties with the sound system. Costume could have also been a lot better.

I have been to several shows at the Trop and like the others this show was very enjoyable. The enthusiasm of the young performers was contagious. The singing and dancing was fun. And of course the finale when they all sang Fame was absolutely fabulous.

Having been trained in theatre at the Senior Dramatic Workshop in NYC and having performed at Actors Studio, and my wife trained at American Ballet Theatre and taught dance for many years, we collectively know something about the stage. We found the direction and staging to be very poor. The performers were obviously instructed to hit their marks on stage, deliver their lines/sing their song and leave. Most performers did their best and had good voices for the songs, but there was a total lack of emotion in what should have been highly charged situations. For example, the death of a school friend was announced with the same emotion as losing ones favorite pen. The performers were not permitted to move or express feelings which resulted in a very stiff performance. The scenery was moved, it seemed, every 2 minutes when it apparently had no meaning to what was transpiring on stage. This presentation had absolutely no comparison with the original Fame series with Debbie Allen and the electric performances of that cast. Sorry, but this was a flop.

I bought tickets for this show thinking it would be similar to the original movie starring Irene Cara and Debbie Allan.....how wrong I was! Although this show takes place at the School of Performing Acts, as the opening song is titled "P.A.", all of the show's songs are new songs made for this stage show. The only song that is from the movie is the title song "Fame". Other than that, the characters are completely new and the storyline is completely different. While some might find this new rendition of Fame to be enjoyable, I found the show to be very amateurish like a high school musical.

The only good thing was that the seats, if you waited in line in advance, were excellent.

I would not recommend the show unless you had no other form of entertainment for the evening.

IT CERTAINLY WASN'T THE CALABER OF BROADWAY, BUT ENTERTAINING. I HAD TWO THIRTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS WITH ME & THEY ENJOYED MOST OF IT. WITH ALL THE DANCE SHOWS ON TV NOW, I FELT THE DANCING WAS BELOW PAR FOR A PRODUCTION IN AC. I PAID FOR THE TICKETS, BUT IF YOU GET THEM COMPED, IT IS WORTH SEEING.

I enjoyed it. The main character Carmen really put the show together. The other actors were also great. Especially Tyrone, the bad boy that turned good. The songs really were up to beat. Although, it had its nics and nacs here and there, you quickly forget them about because the next scenes are always an eye catcher. All the neon colors and 80's outfits were adorable. I would definitely come back with a friend.

I went to see Fame with my friends on Sunday afternoon and we totally enjoyed it. The dancing had a lot of energy, the singing was hot and the show was 90 minutes of lighthearted fun. After the show, my friends and I were discussing something that surprised all of us. We usually pay attention to the leads and of course, we did this time also. But this time, there were a couple girls in the ensemble that we noticed over and over again. One had a lot of curly hair and the other had a long ponytail. It says a lot when the ensemble catches your eye and is memorable. It was just interesting that we all noticed them and they did great.
