One of the most explosive movie musicals bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town where there is a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher.

The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
