Canton South High School will present Footloose the Musical on
February 22, 23 and 24, 2018 at 7pm in the high school Performing Arts
Center. One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory
bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. When Ren and his
mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for
the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn't
prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing
instituted by the local preacher, determined to exercise the control
over the town's youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the
reverend's rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck
boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren's reputation, with many of the locals
eager to believe the worst about the new kid. 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. To the rockin' rhythm of
its Oscar and Tony-nominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album
reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15
million copies!) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage
musical, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people,
guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
