A dynamic, high-energy story celebrating the exhilaration of youth, the wisdom of listening to one another and the power of forgiveness.

City boy Ren thinks life is bad enough when he's forced to move to a rural backwater. But his world comes to a dead stop when he arrives in Bomont to find dancing and rock music are banned. Taking matters into his own hands, Ren challenges the repressive authorities and soon has the whole town on its feet.

The all-singing, all-dancing musical based on the Kevin Bacon cult classic film will make you kick off your Sunday shoes and tap your toes with hit numbers including ‘Let’s Hear It for the Boy’, ‘Holding out for a Hero’ and of course ‘Footloose’.
