WICKENBURG, AZ -

One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory now bursts onto the live stage. Based on the smash-hit 1984 movie “Footloose” that captured the heart of America, this musical bursts onstage with youthful spirit, dazzling dance scenes and electrifying music.

The rocking rhythm of its Oscar-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies) with added dynamic songs, “Footloose” celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

The show features classic 80’s hits including "Holding Out for a Hero," "Let’s Hear It for the Boy" and the unforgettable title song, "Footloose."

A musical about a boy, a minister and a town where dancing is prohibited; in the mythical Midwestern town of Bomont the senior class wants a prom, and it isn’t long before the whole class is on their feet sending the town into frenzy. “Footloose” celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind. This poignant version has a strong dramatic emphasis and some impressive vocal numbers while still showcasing the choreography.

“A celebration of youthful independence…Genuine artistry and innovation…terrific tunes.” Variety Magazine
