The Story:

One of the most explosive and popular contemporary movies has burst onto the live stage as a full-fledged musical! When teenager Ren and his mom relocate from Chicago to a small rural Texas town, he is not prepared for the rigorous local laws. Years ago, following a night of partying at the dance, a car accident claimed the lives of four local teens including the son of a local minister Shaw Moore. In a misguided attempt to honor the victims, the reverend pushed through a town ordinance banning dancing and in the process has kept alive a memory that can only foster pain. At the emotional heart of FOOTLOOSE, is a boy longing for the father who walked out on him and a man aching for the son he lost. Ultimately Rev. Moore realizes that only through placing trust in our young people can they become truly trustworthy. FOOTLOOSE is propelled by the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar nominated Top 40 score, the soundtrack album having hit number one on the Billboard charts. Musical highlights are "Let's Hear It For he Boy," "Almost Paradise," "Holding Out for a Hero," "The Girls Gets Around," and "Im Free."
