A stage musical based on the 1980 musical film ''Fame'' 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 José 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 at the Little Shubert Theatre on 42nd St from 2003 to 2004.〔(BroadwayWorld.com: ''Fame on 42nd Street'' )〕〔Gans, Andrew. ("Fame to End Off-Broadway Run June 27" ), ''Playbill'', June 22, 2004〕 De Silva had produced the 1980 film about students at New York City's High School of Performing Arts. The critically and commercially successful film was followed by a six-season television series,〔Paulsen, Wade. ("NBC president says 'Fame' 'did not work'" ), RealityTVWorld.com, July 25, 2003〕 and the musical. The musical is significantly rewritten from the previous adaptations, with an almost entirely new score. The film is referred to several times in the script and in two songs.〔(MTI Shows.com ) mtishows.com, accessed October 15, 2012〕 It tells the story of several students who attend the High School of Performing Arts, among them fame-obsessed Carmen, ambitious actress Serena, wisecracking comedian/bad boy Joe, quiet violinist Schlomo, "talented but dyslexic" dancer Tyrone, determined actor Nick, overweight dancer Mabel, and poor dancer Iris.〔 Since its first production, ''Fame – The Musical'' has had hundreds of professional and amateur productions in every major language.〔(FameNetwork.com: Productions )〕 ==US Productions== The publishing company had advertised the scripts as being available later that year, but JHS Director Patricia Miller convinced them to let Jeff High produce the first performance.
