BHS To Present “Fame”
Beaufort High School’s theater department will present the musical “Fame” at 7 p.m. March 4-6 and March 11-13 at the new Arts Center at Beaufort High School. Live musical accompaniment will be provided by members of the Marine Corps band.
The play is based on the highly successful 1980 film of the same name. The film centered on the trials and tribulations of a group of student’s at the New York High School of Performing Arts, now known as the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. A stage musical based on the film has been staged under two titles. The first, Fame – The Musical conceived and developed by David De Silva, is a musical with a book by Jose Fernandez, music by Steve Margoshes and lyrics by Jacques Levy. The musical premiered in 1988 in Miami, Florida. as Fame on 42nd Street, it was performed Off-Broadway from 2003 to 2004. It has played continuously at London’s West End Theater since 1995. A TV series, Fame, spun off of the original movie, and ran from 1982 to 1987.
The Beaufort High School production will surely live up to its predecessors and is a “must see” for local theater goers.
