SOUTHAMPTON'S Mayflower theatre is preparing for another visit from the highly successful West End musical Fame.

The exhilarating stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning movie and legendary TV series will return in October.

It has dynamic dance routines and explosive high-octane performances as well a dazzling array of musical talent.

It has been nominated for two Oliver awards. Fame has been watched by more than 2.5 million people since it opened its doors to the public in London's West End.
