STARS of the hit musical Fame found the ideal way to limber up for a series of high-energy performances yesterday.

Six actors from the show, which is at Darlington Civic Theatre until Saturday, spent the afternoon in the Dolphin Centre's Pulse Suite Two fitness studio.

Among them were Miki Ferguson and Kieran Jae, who are aiming to promote the show which focuses on a group of students at the famous New York High School for the Performing Arts.

Ticket sales have already proved a huge success. They are priced between £16 and £22.50 and are available from the box office on (01325) 486555.
