Kick off your Sunday shoes with us this summer!
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.
Based on the iconic 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon, Footloose made its Broadway debut in 1998 and has since become one of the most popular musicals in the world. Packed with explosive choreography and an electrifying score, the show celebrates youth, freedom, and the power of self-expression.
