“Everybody cut loose!” Based on the classic 80s movie starring Kevin Bacon, Footloose tells the story of Ren McCormack, a teenager who moves from the big city of Chicago to a small town where rock n' roll music and dancing are....illegal!!! Along with other kids at school, Ren begins to challenge the strict order of the town, all while falling for conservative Rev. Shaw’s daughter, Ariel. Featuring familiar songs like “Footloose,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Let’s Hear it for the Boy” This show is sure to be a throwback to the drama of high school love and teenaged revelry.
