Based on the iconic film starring Kevin Bacon, the four-time Tony Award nominated musical became a cultural phenomenon, capturing the hearts of millions with its powerful story of youth, freedom, and the unifying power of music and dance.
Australians have embraced Footloose for decades and now it returns in a brand new production – bigger, bolder, and more explosive than ever before. From rural towns to big cities, Footloose has left an indelible mark on generations, and its legacy lives on.
Audiences are already singing-along to some of the most iconic pop and rock anthems of the 1980s. Hits include Holding Out For A Hero, Let’s Hear It For The Boy, Almost Paradise, Somebody’s Eyes, The Girl Gets Around, I’m Free, the title song Footloose and more.
It’s bold. It’s joyful. And it’s one of the most fun nights out you’ll have all year.
Lyrics are by the Oscar and Golden Globe award winning writer of the movie, Dean Pitchford (with additional lyrics by Kenny Loggins). The book is also by Pitchford, alongside the Tony Award nominated Walter Bobbie.
Prolific songwriter Tom Snow, who has written songs for superstars like Barbara Streisand, Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton John, wrote the music, with others.
