“Fame may be fleeting, but the kids in Fame High will stay with you!
Try as they might, fictional kids (Fame/Glee) can’t compete with the real thing, they don’t compel us like these earnest, hopeful and winning young people, bound and determined to devote themselves to their art. Kennedy manages to make their problems feel piercingly real and individual, not teen generic.”
~ Kenneth Turan, LA Times
