The musical's title song was written by Honolulu's Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore.
Set in the 1980s, "Fame" was created as a movie focusing on the aspirations of a group of students attending New York's High School of Performing Arts on West 46th Street.
Like the film, the musical chronicles the four-year odyssey from audition to graduation at the school, where the unofficial motto is "Fame costs and this is where you start paying."
Performances will be at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 and 2:30 p.m. Feb. 27.
On the program will be "Stealing the Magic Fan," and a variety of acrobatic works.
