Kentish Times: 11Jan01: Star RatingStar Rating
The show may be called Fame 2000 but it is neither bang up to date, nor is it much of a nostalgia trip back to the era of the original TV show. Dialogue is wooden, gags are not funny and characters are painted with the broadest strokes. One or two of the performers also look more like the mums and dads of the kids from fame rather than eager teenagers. Karen Bruce s direction wisely puts the emphasis on the musical set pieces.
