A humble tribute to the cultural Leviathan that is Martin Short, Fame Becomes Me is his life story, revealed as never before – least of all to himself.
Drawing heavily on the American traditions of musical theatre and shameless self-promotion, the show is a side-splitting blend of revue, celebrity sendup and melodrama.
As Short battles to confess all, a sparkling supporting cast compete just as frantically to upstage him. When coupled with enormous and unnecessary set changes, some stampeding livestock and a live birth, the result is the "relentless, riotous sendup" praised by USA Today. You'll laugh until you endanger your own health - if Fame Becomes Me is Martin Short's "transparent plea for love and affection", show your love by reserving seats today.
Fame Becomes Me was created by Scott Wittman and Mark Shaiman, who won Tony and Grammy awards for their work on Hairspray. Since its Broadway opening on August 10, 2006, Fame Becomes Me has received rave reviews from publications including Vanity Fair, Time Out and The New York Times.
