Footloose (90-Minute Version)

ABOUT

The 90-minute version of Footloose condenses the story of Ren McCormack, a teenager who moves from Chicago to the small town of Bomont, where dancing and rock music have been banned following a tragic accident. Ren struggles to adjust to the town’s strict rules and forms a rebellious bond with Ariel, the daughter of the conservative Reverend Shaw Moore. Determined to challenge the ban, Ren leads the local youth in a fight for their right to dance, sparking a journey of healing and self-expression for both the teens and the adults in the town. As tensions rise, Ren and Ariel’s growing relationship becomes a catalyst for change, forcing the community to confront its grief and rediscover the joy that music and movement bring.

In this streamlined version, the core themes of youth empowerment and the clash between tradition and change remain intact, with high-energy dance numbers and beloved songs like “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” and “Holding Out for a Hero.” The 90-minute adaptation retains the spirited atmosphere and the emotional heart of the original while focusing on the most essential moments of Ren’s journey to challenge the status quo and bring the town together. The show emphasizes the power of self-expression and the universal desire to be heard and understood.
