Little Seed’s production of Fame The Musical is the perfect excuse to don some neon, slip on your leg warmers and blast back to the ’80s.
Fame The Musical will be on show at The J on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 September.
“Fame is a vibrant, fun musical with a little bit of an edge to it,“ Little Seed’s creative director Johanna Wallace said.
“I love that it gives our teenage performers the opportunity to play roles that are their own ages.
“The musical also echoes the hopes and dreams of many of our own students who have the lights of Broadway in their sights and also dream of making it big.“
Heavy on local talent, Fame is headlined by Evie McDonald and Naire McDonald who are sharing the lead of Carmen Diaz, a headstrong, passionate performer who describes herself as “three times the talent and 10 times the fun.”
Playing opposite Carmen is Jack Miller as Schlomo Metzenbaum, a quiet classical violinist who is setting up a rock band. Schlomo comes from a musical background but is fed up of the expectations to do well and wishes to rebel.
For director Johanna Wallace, musical director Connie Groves and choreographer Ellie Oster, it’s a labour of love and hard work fuelled by joy to work with the young and the talented.
“We are immensely proud of our cast and cannot wait to share their work with the local community. We have no doubt that some among our cast will reach for the heights of professional careers in the arts,” Ms Wallace said.
Little Seed Theatre Company is proud to present Fame the Musical on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 September at 2pm and 7.30pm.
