FOOTLOOSE

Stage Adaptation by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie

Music by Tom Snow | Lyrics by Dean Pitchford

One kid. One town. One chance. A spirited city kid moves to a small farming town where he finds himself at odds with the restrictive dancing ban enforced by the local preacher. This lively musical breaks down barriers in a triumph of spirit and freedom. It’s time to kick off your Sunday shoes!

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.

“One of the most extraordinary musicals ever to come out of Hollywood. Footloose blends fantastical situations with important issues and balances them perfectly.”
