OCPAC to Present FOOTLOOSE

This September OCPAC will bring to life the hit 80s movie Footloose in Kew for 8 shows only

Inspired by the 80s movie starring Kevin Bacon, this high energy musical includes Kenny Loggins' Oscar nominated dance anthem Footloose.

The story follows Ren McCormack after he arrives in small country town named Bomont. When Ren discovers that the town has outlawed rock music and dancing, he fights to overturn the town's outdated and narrowKminded laws.

OCPAC's production involves a cast and crew of talented professionals. Footloose Director Jordan Barr and Musical Director Rosie Byth are both Music Theatre graduates from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA). The show's choreographer Remy Noonan attended Patrick Studios Australia and is now a seasoned choreographer and performer in the entertainment industry.

Leading the cast is Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) graduate Shannen Alyce (Ariel) and University of Ballarat Arts Academy graduate Warren Logan (Willard). The cast and production team are a mixture of Carey alumni and members of the wider community who all share a passion for the performing arts.

OCPAC has achieved extensive success in its short history winning multiple awards at the Music Theatre Guild of Victoria and Lyrebird Awards. The company produced a critically acclaimed return season of Seussical: The Musical at The Athenaeum Theatre for the 2014 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. OCPAC is ecstatic to bring a high quality production of this classic 80s dance show to Melbourne.
