The cult film from the 80s conquers the German stage. In Footloose - The Musical, breathtaking dance numbers meet an Oscar-nominated soundtrack and a rousing story full of nostalgia.
No foot remains still, cheering and singing along are the order of the day when the rebellious teenager Ren, actively supported by the Bomont youth, brings a breath of fresh air to the stuffy small town. Cult hits such as "Holding out for a hero", "Almost Paradise", "Let's hear it for the boy" and of course the title song "Footloose" revive the exuberant attitude to life of the 80s. In a perfect mix, dialog and songs in German alternate with the well-known world hits in the original English.
Gripping story about rebellion and joie de vivre
A life without dance and music? Unimaginable for young Ren McCormack. But when his parents get divorced and he has to move with his mother to the conservative small town of Bomont, his life changes drastically, because rock music, alcohol and dancing are strictly forbidden in the Bible-obsessed community.
But Ren refuses to accept this. He soon has the town's youth on his side and tries to take action against the prohibitions and narrow-mindedness - initially without success. And it is not long before the music-loving newcomer comes into conflict with the strict morals of the Reverend Shaw Moore, who sets the tone.
Where rock music confuses the senses, drug and alcohol abuse are the diabolical consequence - or so the reverend has been convinced since his son's tragic accident. But the newly ignited passion of youth is not so easily curbed. When Ren finally falls in love with Moore's rebellious daughter Ariel, of all people, the competition between the two worlds comes to a thrilling climax.
