Evelyn says "I’m finally on the home straight ( only 10 more to make )hours and hours of sweat, blood and tears, ( I stabbed my thumb and fingers at least 20 times 😂)at 2 hours to make each monkey I can finally declare that there will be a whole lot of monkey business coming to Liverpool for the Fame reunion!...but I would like to ask whoever buys one, please say a prayer for a family who are in need of the Claire house hospice...or if you are not religious then please just spend a moment to consider how you have helped a family by purchasing a monkey...My gift to the hospice is my time and materials, I refuse to accept money for materials, like Valerie Landsburg said on the One Show, if sponsors donate then Claire house gets it all!...( so I officially sponsor the event ) I hope they all sell, but I am confident that they will all sell and make much needed funds...if successful by the time I have added the final few I am hoping that around £1,000 will be going to the hospice...fingers crossed or at least I hope so 😊"

Fame U.K. Reunion Announcement Regarding Erica Gimpel

Some sad news from Fame U.K. Reunion.

"We regret to inform you that one of the 8 cast members initially announced for the concerts will no longer be able to participate in the concerts: Erica Gimpel (Coco Hernandez in the TV series) regrets that she cannot be part of this charity event. A professional engagement unfortunately prevents Erica from coming to Liverpool on this occasion. We would like to wish Erica every success in her new project.

(Erica makes a personal announcement in the video below.)

We are very happy to announce that the wonderful Loretta Chandler will now be joining us and will make the cast complete again.

Loretta played Dusty Tyler in the 5th and 6th seasons of the show; famously re-recording the Fame theme song during those years. We are certain you will agree with us that Loretta is a wonderful addition to the cast and we are excited that she is able to join us.

We wish you a wonderful experience at the only Fame Reunion to take place in the U.K. since the show ended in 1987.

Fame is going to live Forever!

Fame U.K. H.Q."
