Footloose is the story of Ren McCormack, a teenage boy and his mother move to the small town of Beaumont after his father abandons them. Upon arriving, Ren finds himself at odds with most of the town, including the Reverend Shaw. The Reverend has convinced the town to outlaw dancing, which Ren finds unbelievable. With the help of Ariel (the Reverend’s daughter) and Willard (a country hick who becomes his best friend), Ren convinces the Reverend to let the teenagers dance, and in the process helps the town to heal from a tragedy that affected them all. Songs include: “Somebody’s Eyes”, “I can’t Stand Still”, “Let’s Hear It for the Boy”, “Almost Paradise”, “Footloose” and more!
