Plot

Fame follows a group of star-struck pupils on their ride through triumph, heartache and romance at New York’s High School for the Performing Arts. The highs and lows are too much for some but the kids' determination to "live forever" shines through. The plot is punctuated by a number of dance routines and ballads.
