Tickets Selling Fast for FOOTLOOSE at Queen's Theatre Hornchurch

By:

Following an acclaimed 2016 UK Tour, the legendary 80s smash hit musical sensation Footloose: The Musical comes to the Queen's Theatre Hornchurch from 22 - 27 May.

Footloose: The Musical is produced by award-winning Selladoor Productions (Avenue Q, The Crucible, American Idiot) and stars Gareth Gates as Willard and Maureen Nolan as Vi Moore.

Gareth Gates rose to fame through the inaugural series of Pop Idol in 2001, going on to sell over 5 million records worldwide and have hits across the globe. His version of Unchained Melody sold over a million copies in the UK and is the 3rd best-selling single of the Noughties. More recently Gareth has enjoyed a successful career on stage, with credits including LES MISERABLES, Legally Blonde and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Maureen Nolan has been singing with her sisters since she was nine years old, when they became one of Europe's first girl bands, The Nolans. Best known for their smash hit single I'm in the Mood for Dancing, The Nolans enjoyed phenomenal record sales worldwide, and worked with some of the world's most respected artists including Frank Sinatra. On stage, Maureen has played Mrs Johnstone in Blood Brothers in the West End and on tour to critical acclaim.

Based on the 1984 screen sensation starring Kevin Bacon, Footloose: The Musical tells the story of city boy Ren, who has to move to a rural backwater in America where dancing is banned. All hell breaks out as Ren breaks loose and soon has the whole town up on its feet. Featuring classic 80s hits including Holding Out for a Hero, Almost Paradise, Let's Hear it for the Boy and the unforgettable title track, Footloose: The Musical is set to take the world by storm once again in this brand new production, bursting with youthful spirit, dazzling dance and electrifying music.

Footloose: The Musical runs at the Queen's Theatre from 22 - 27 May. Tickets are £19.50 - £35 and can be purchased by calling the Box Office on 01708 443333, in person at the theatre or online at queens-theatre.co.uk.
