"Footloose, The Musical" Music by Tim Snow, Book and Lyrics by Dean Pitchard (the run for this show has ended)Completing our season is another premiere which is based on the 1984 movie of the same name. At that time, it was considered one of the most explosive and popular contemporary movies and has now burst onto the live stage as a full-fledged musical. It was nominated for a Tony award for its score and the soundtrack album reached #1 on the Billboard Hit List and sold over 15 million copies. It opened on Broadway in 1998 and after a successful run, it went on a National Tour in the US and England. The 1984 film version starred Kevin Bacon, Chris Penn and Sarah Jessica Parker and was nominated for two Academy Awards. This is a story about a boy who grew up near Chicago who loved going to the school dances and then moving to a small, sleepy conservative town which has no dancing. His efforts to convince the town elders to allow the dances creates a musical that is sassy, energetic, crackling, funny, sad and rocking with memorable songs like "On Any Sunday", "Almost Paradise", "I'm Free" and the title song. |
