With the production team comprising director Diane Wilson, musical director Greg Crease and choreographer Carly O’Rourke, the story revolves around Ren who moves with his mother from Chicago to a small farming town where rock music is illegal.
Ren has trouble coming to terms with the ban on dancing too instituted by local preacher Reverend Shaw.
But when the reverend’s rebellious daughter Ariel sets her sights on Ren it sets in motion an unforgettable heartfelt story about grief, love and celebrating life by guiding the adults of tomorrow with a warm heart and open mind … Everybody kick off your Sunday shoes and cut Footloose!
Bronte says the 30-member cast and the production team are very excited to present the much loved production to Bankstown audiences.
“I absolutely love the story and grew up watching the 1980s movie of the same name as well as the remake,” she said.
“It’s a really fiery, high energy prodution and a showcase for so many passionate dancers and talented teens who just want to have fun and sing and dance.
“Definitely a show for all age groups, it’s also very comedic; kids will get the jokes and older people will also find it extremely entertaining. It’s a family classic.”
