Footloose The Musical arrives at the Blackpool Grand Theatre & tickets are still available!

Critically acclaimed local company ENSEMBLE Theatre returns to The Grand with this exciting new production of Footloose the Musical from Wednesday July 17 to Saturday, July 20 following their smash-hit shows The Addams Family, The Sound of Music and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

What is the show about?

This exhilarating stage show is based on the iconic 1984 film Footloose starring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer and Sarah Jessica Parker, which became a box office hit and a cultural phenomenon throughout the 1980s and 90s due to its electrifying dance scenes and unforgettable soundtrack that included hits like Holding Out For A Hero, Let’;s Hear It For The Boy and  Footloose.

It tells the heartwarming story of music-mad teenager Ren McCormack who moves from Chicago to a small rural town where he discovers that dancing and rock music are banned. 

The town’s strict rules are enforced by the town’s Reverend Shaw Moore, who is still grieving the loss of his son in a car accident which he believes was caused by young people’s reckless behaviour.

Ren soon falls for the preacher’s daughter Ariel, and goes on to shake up the town and break every single rule as he just loves to party and dancE.

Ren’s rebellious spirit and dynamic drive also inspires his school classmates to challenge the oppressive ban and embrace the joy of dance. Let’s Hear it For the Boy!

ENSEMBLE Theatre presents this amateur production of Footloose by arrangement with Concord Theatrical Ltd.
