Get ready to cut loose! The high-octane Broadway smash Footloose returns to MSMT for the first time since 2014, packed with showstopping dance, heart-pounding hits, and the story of a town learning to let go—and dance again. When Ren McCormack moves from Chicago to a small town where dancing is outlawed, he shakes up the status quo, challenging authority, healing old wounds, and inspiring a movement of joy, love, and liberation. Featuring timeless anthems like “Holding Out for a Hero,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” and “Footloose,” this is the ultimate summer musical celebration. Starring... Also featuring... Directed by E. Faye Butler Footloose Footloose is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. For more information, visit concordtheatricals.com. 🎟️ Tickets available now at msmt.org
