About this event

Footloose, the beloved '80s film, comes alive on stage with a burst of energy and nostalgia. Directed by Stephen Mear, this adaptation captures the spirit of the original with electrifying choreography and iconic music. The story of Ren, a city teen challenging a town's no-dancing rule, unfolds with humor and heart, making it a must-see for fans of the film and newcomers alike.

The Ellen & Joe Checota Powerhouse Theater provides an intimate setting for this high-energy production. With hits like “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” and “Holding Out for a Hero,” the show promises to be a lively experience that will have audiences dancing in their seats. Whether you're reliving the '80s or discovering Footloose for the first time, this musical is a joyful celebration of music and freedom.

From the organizer

Get ready to kick off your heels and feel the beat! The smash-hit film Footloose explodes onto the stage with high-octane choreography and electrifying ’80s anthems, including “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” and “Holding Out for a Hero.” When city teen Ren moves to a small town where dancing is banned, he challenges the rules, sparks romance, and inspires a community to rediscover joy, freedom, and the power of music. Helmed by Olivier Award-winning artist Stephen Mear, who wowed Rep audiences with his choreography for Ragtime and Guys and Dolls, this energetic, feel-good Tony-nominated musical will have you laughing, cheering, and jumping to your feet.
