Get ready to kick off your Sunday shoes! Footloose is a high-energy musical that celebrates the power of youth and the freedom of self-expression. Set in a small midwestern town that has banned dancing for fear of its dangerous influence on young people, Footloose is surprisingly resonant in a 2024 America in which book bans are rising rapidly. The show features an iconic soundtrack blending pop, rock and ballads, electrifying dance numbers, and a compelling narrative about love, friendship, and the courage to challenge the status quo.
