Based on the hit movie, “Footloose!” tells a tale of teenage rebellion and culture shock as Ren McCormack moves from the big city to a small town where dancing and rock and roll music have been outlawed thanks to the efforts of the local minister. Sparks fly as Ren and his new friends try to lift the ban, and love grows as Ren gets to know the minister’s troubled daughter. Driving this powerful story are energetic dance numbers and a memorable score, featuring songs co-written by Kenny Loggins, Sammy Hagar, Eric Carmen and Jim Steinman. “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Almost Paradise” and, of course, the title song, are just some of the tunes that make “Footloose!” non-stop entertainment from beginning to end. |
