Moving is never easy. And when your new home is a small town with big rules — like no rock music or dancing — there’s bound to be drama. What do you do? Shake things up! That’s the premise for the hit movie “Footloose,” now on stage as a musical at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale Dec. 17 - Jan. 1.
“Footloose the Musical,” based on the original screenplay by Dean Pitchford, includes new songs that mesh with the original Oscar-nominated score.
“Get ready to kick off your Sunday shoes and cut loose as Footloose, one of the most explosive movie musicals of all time, bursts onto the live stage. Revel in this throwback to teen romance, angst and, of course, the desire to dance,” notes the venue’s website. “Rock out to the rhythm of the Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) elevated with dynamic new songs for the stage musical. Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.”
