It’s time to cut loose and kick off your Sunday shoes with Footloose the Musical at Beau Rivage as one of the most explosive rock-n-roll movie musicals of all time bursts onto the stage June 21 – July 7.
The classic Oscar® & Tony-nominated® movie and Broadway hit show is fueled by the world-renowned title song, “Footloose,” as well as “Let’s Hear It For The Boy,” and “Holding Out For A Hero,” and will have audiences dancing and singing in their seats throughout the show.
Dean Pitchford, who wrote the original screenplay and lyrics to the music by Tom Snow, adapted from the film [for the stage] in collaboration with Walter Bobbie. The soundtrack reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts and has sold more than 15 million copies. Additional songs include those by pop greats, Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins and Jim Steinman. Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals, Rand Productions delivers this 90-minute version, directed by Jeb K. Rand.
Footloose the Musical tells the story of Ren McCormack, a big city teen who finds himself out of place in a rural town where dancing has been outlawed. As he tries to carve out a place for himself, he ignites a revolution in the town as the younger generation rebels against the strict rules of the local preacher. Through world-renowned music and dynamic choreography, Footloose celebrates the spirit and optimism of a young mind desiring change.
Ren McCormack is played by Hank Santos, whose credits include a national tour with Cats, Pretty Woman, Spongebob Squarepants Musical and A Chorus Line as part of a tour in Japan. The cast of Footloose is stranger to national tours with many performers appearing in productions such as Miss Saigon, Forever Plaid, My Fair Lady, Kinky Boots and more. Reverend Shaw Moore is portrayed by Robert Bigley, who recently played Duncan Hines in the current season of The Food that Built America on the History Channel.
“I am thrilled to be bringing Broadway back to the Beau!,” said Rand Productions President and Executive Producer Jeb K. Rand. “This year, being the 40th anniversary of the film while Beau Rivage celebrates its 25th anniversary, makes the timing extra special. Let’s hear it for the Beau!”
