The Shows Must Go On return: How to watch Fame 30th anniversary show online

The Shows Must Go On is a YouTube channel which began by showing some of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic musicals. The set up was pretty simple: fans could tune in for 48 hours, or in some cases 24 hours, to a new musical every Friday night. Now, the channel has relaunched with some epic new shows, kicking off with the Fame 30th anniversary.
