Fame this weekend?
Baby look at me 
And tell me what you see
You ain’t seen the best of me yet
Give me time
I’ll make you forget the rest….
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don’t you know who I am
Remember my name
Fame!
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna learn how to fly
High!
I’m gonna make it to heaven
light up the sky like a flame
Fame!
Rememba
Rememba
Rememba
Remember?!?!?
Fame may be a remake of the old story, but with 25 year-old dance prodigy and famed choreographer to Madonna and Britney Spears, Kevin Tancharoen, directing, Debbie Allen, Bebe Neuwirth, Megan Mullally, and Anna Maria Perez de Tagle in the ensemble…we may have a new cast of contending talent to be excited about. Check out the trailer on you tube.
PS - Researching Kevin’s ethnic background, I found that he is the brother of one ‘Maurissa Tancharoen’…yeah and? Who the heck is ‘Maurissa’? (her name was literally in quotes…do single quote marks mean the referenced is also famed?)
Turns out ‘Maurissa’ is Maurissa Tancharoen Whedon, contributing writer to Dollhouse and sister-in-law of its genius writer, producer, director, Joss Whedon, also of Firefly and Serenity magnificence. Maurissa identifies Tancharoen as having Thai roots. Rock on, Maurissa and Joss, for writing such intriguing and thought-provoking female roles…not to mention casting beauteous, talented actors to portray them.
