Feinstein's/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, will present "FOOTLOOSE-In Concert" on Tuesday, January 12, 2016. Kick off your Sunday shoes for this one night only event! Based on the 1984 film, Footloose received four Tony Award nominations during its almost two year run in Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre. The score, featuring songs written by Tom Snow and Dean Pitchford, are sure to remind you that "there IS a time to dance". Enjoy an evening of hits that include "Holding Our For A Hero", "Mama Says" and "Let's Hear It For The Boy".

The performances will feature members of the original cast (Jeremy Kushnier, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Billy Hartung, Kathy Deitch, Roz Brown, Orfeh, and more) who will share the stage with Jay Armstrong Johnson (On The Town), Ginna Claire Mason (Newsies), among others, to celebrate this rockin' score. Expect both a reunion and a celebration of the musical, where original cast members and a new 'class of 2016' share roles and musical numbers.

"Footloose-In Concert" is produced and musically directed by Jesse Vargas, who will lead a 6- piece band. Earlier this year, Vargas produced 2 sold out performances of "54 Sings: THE LIFE".
