Footloose: The Musical is a high-energy, feel-good show about self-expression, community, and the power of music and dance. When Ren McCormack, a city teen with a passion for dancing, moves to the small town of Bomont, he quickly discovers that dancing and rock music have been banned following a tragic accident.
​
As Ren challenges the town’s strict rules, he forms unexpected friendships, falls for the rebellious Ariel Moore, and inspires the community to find healing through movement and expression. With the support of new friends and a willingness to stand up for what’s right, Ren helps Bomont rediscover joy, freedom, and connection.
​
Packed with iconic songs like “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Almost Paradise,” Footloose is an exciting, upbeat musical that celebrates individuality, courage, and the importance of being true to yourself.
