Footloose (expired event)

Kick off your Sunday shoes! The musical Footloose is set to dance up a storm at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre this June.

Directed by Lys Tickner for the Art in Motion Theatre Company, the show is based on the hit 1984 film of the same name and was nominated for four Tony Awards in 1999. Footloose is a based on a true story where a town put a ban on dancing – the passion from local youths ultimately proved to the adults that it didn’t put them in danger either morally or physically. The soundtrack album, which features the songs Footloose, Let's Hear It For The Boy and Holding Out For A Hero, reached number one on the Billboard charts and sold more than 15 million copies. Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman provided additional music for the stage production.
