Everybody cut loose! We are celebrating 40 years of Footloose with our exciting new stage production!

“A time to laugh... and a time to weep. A time to mourn... and there is a time to dance”

The New Wolsey Theatre is heading back to the 1980s this Autumn to stage a spectacular new production of the explosive musical Footloose.

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment to starting at a new high school, but he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing. 

This heartfelt story pits a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top Forty score, elevated with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
