Footloose (90-Minute Version)
by Dean Pitchford, Tom Snow, Walter Bobbie, Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins, Jim Steinman

This 90-minute adaptation of the hit stage musical retains all the characters and nearly all the songs from the full-length version.

("Learning To Be Silent," Vi's version of "Can You Find It In Your Heart?" and several encores and reprises have been cut.) When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school.

But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth.

When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid.

The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top 40 score, augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.
