Footloose The Musical

They Dared To Dance! - The Hit Movie Live On Stage!

Footloose The Musical tells the story of city boy Ren who has to move to small town America where dancing is banned. All hell breaks out as Ren breaks loose and soon has the whole town on its feet.

Featuring the hottest talent around, this fast-paced show is packed full of amazing dance and classic 80s hits, including Holding Out For A Hero, Almost Paradise, Let's Hear It For The Boy and of course the unforgettable title track Footloose. Written by Dean Pitchford (responsible for the screenplay and lyrics for the film version of Footloose) and Walter Bobbie.
