"Footloose" - the musical
Sponsored by: Lois and Barry Flowers
 One of the most explosive movie musicals now bursts onto the live stage. 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 laws, including a ban on dancing. To the rockin' rhythm of its Oscar-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts) to which new, dynamic songs have been added, “Footloose” celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
