La Guardia School for the Performing Arts is the school in which FAME is based on. The Broadway play is sort of like the movie which was taken form the old TV�show, but the musical has a darker side to it than the movie. The main characters in the musical FAME�are Iris, Tyrone, Mabel, and Carmen. FAME shows a group oh highschoolers throughout their entire highschool years.
