In this the day and age of reality TV surely a musical which mixes the best and worst aspects of shows like ‘The X Factor’ and ‘Fame Academy’ should be a good subject for a musical. Such was my thoughts as I went to see ‘Fame Game’ sadly it didn’t live up to my expectations. Whether it was the writing or that particular performance, I am not sure.  There were one or two promising numbers, the cast reasonably talented but no one outstanding, I did however think the band although good were a little overpowering. I also got the feeling the cast were a little under rehearsed and the costumes a little tacky. With some work it might be a reasonable show and the performers worked very hard in some scenes. **
