Footloose is a crowd-pleasing musical about youth, freedom, and the power of music. When a rebellious teenager moves to a small town where dancing is banned, he challenges the rules—and the community—to rediscover joy, connection, and self-expression. Packed with electrifying dance numbers and iconic 80s hits, Footloose is an energetic celebration of breaking free and finding your voice. Footloose is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
