FOOTLOOSE The Musical | Music by Tom Snow | Lyrics by Dean Pitchford |
Stage Adaptation by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie | Based on the
original screenplay by Dean Pitchford | Additional Music by Eric Carmen,
Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman

One of the most
explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage
with exhilarating results. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a
small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment
period at his new high school. What he isn't prepared for are the
rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the
local preacher, determined to exercise the control over the town's youth
that he cannot command in his own home. 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 is of a father
longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father
who walked out on him. To the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar and
Tony-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on
the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) and augmented
with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the
wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and
an open mind.
