Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre cuts loose this February with Footloose, the stage adaptation of the hit 1980s movie musical!
Nominated for four Tony Awards and live on stage at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre, Footloose is the story of a big-city kid who shakes things up when he comes to a small town.
Ren McCormack is a rebellious teenager from Chicago. When he and his mother move to rural Bomont, Ren learns dancing is banned by law, and the town minister Rev. Shaw Moore thinks rock and roll music is evil. The minister’s daughter, Ariel, feels trapped in the repressive town and Ren decides the best outlet for all the kids is a dance. He and his friends find that seeking the unlikely approval from Rev. Moore brings unexpected results for all.
The 1984 movie danced its way into the hearts of millions, and was nominated for two Oscars, a Golden Globe and a Grammy for its fun and original music. Its memorable songs include “Footloose,” “Almost Paradise,” and “Let’s Hear It For The Boy.” A remake of the original film is due to come out next year starring Chance Crawford (“Gossip Girl”) and Julianne Hough (“Dancing With The Stars”).
