The cast of The Gala Hispanic Theatre's bilingual production of Fame -- The Musical takes this marathon show at a dead sprint, bucking Broadway bluster to deliver on the idea fame is an illusion, and hard work is what we seek.

Quando si pensa alle arti performative degli anni '80 e impossibile non citare il film Saranno Famosi (FAME). Fu talmente un successo che a pochi anni dall'uscita crearono una serie tv di sei stagioni dedicata e nel 1988 uno spettacolo teatrale. Spesso pero la trasposizione da un prodotto cinematografico ad uno teatrale o viceversa non e detto riesca a dare giustizia all'opera originale, vivendone di fama riflessa ma senza apportarne ulteriore gloria. Abbiamo visto la versione italiana della Wizard Production al Teatro San Babila di Milano con la regia di Federico Bellone (riprodotta da Giuseppe Musmarra) che conferma questa tendenza.

Little Radical Theatrics {Fatima Viegas, Executive Producer} is thrilled to present its Spring 2019 production: Fame The Musical! The pop-culture phenomenon about the legendary New York High School of the Performing Arts lives forever!

Putting on a brand-new, original musical can be a daunting and challenging task for any theatre company. If you're doing a golden oldie such as, say, Camelot, you have a familiar score, and just about everyone knows the songs. Then again, Camelot was new once and someone had to give it a go, so I applaud the Alliance Theatre for kicking off their 50th anniversary season with Nick's Flamingo Grill, a new jazz musical written by Atlanta playwright Phillip DePoy. The show fits very nicely into the Hertz Stage, a beautiful black box space with the stage in the center and audience members on either side, making the story an intimate experience and getting all of us to feel as though we are the jazz club audience during the musical numbers. And what numbers they are! But more on that later.

The Alliance Theatre is pleased to present the world premiere production of Nick's Flamingo Grill, by award-winning Atlanta playwright and author Phillip DePoy.  Nick's Flamingo Grill is inspired by the true story of the first integrated jazz club in Atlanta and will debut on the Hertz Stage September 29 - October 28, 2018.  Opening night is Thursday, October 4.
