About the Footloose:
One of the world's most explosive movie musicals bursts onto the live stage with exhilerating results! When Ren moves from a big city to a small town, he expects an adjustment period -- but he doesn't expect a ban on the thing he loves best: dancing. Set to the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score and dynamic new songs added for the stage musical, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people with a warm heart and an open mind.
