The critically acclaimed Fame the Musical UK tour starring soul legend Mica Paris, TV star Jorgie Porter and theatre favourite Keith Jack will light up the sky in Malvern as it visits Malvern Theatres from Monday, July 8 to Saturday, July 13 on its 30th anniversary tour.

Based on the 1980 phenomenal pop culture film, Fame - The Musical is the international smash-hit sensation following the lives of students at New York’s High School for the Performing Arts as they navigate their way through the highs and lows, the romances and the heartbreaks and the ultimate elation of life. This bittersweet but uplifting triumph of a show explores the issues that confront many young people today: prejudice, identity, pride, literacy, sexuality, substance abuse and perseverance.
