he musical Footloose is playing at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre starting tomorrow and running 
through May! Ticket King doesn't currently have tickets for the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre Footloose production, but it should because this musical, based on the movie, has got to be awesome! I am definitely planning on going, since Footloose was one of my favorite movies growing up! Who could resist Kevin Bacon in 1984 as Ren McCormack, the Chicago teenager transplanted to a small town that outlaws dancing and rock music!? Ren stirs up all kinds of trouble as he gets the small town to see that music and dancing is not responsible for the sins and hardships the town may have seen in the past, including the Reverend Shaw Moore's son dying in a car accident.
Footloose has made popular songs such as "Let's Hear it for the Boy," "Almost Paradise," and
"Hurts so Good" and of course, "Footloose."
Footloose became a musical in 1998 when it opened at Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre and ran through 2000. The Footloose Musical was nominated for four Tony Awards. In 2006, Footloose opened for a London production starring Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Derek Hough as Ren.
Footloose has seen both UK and US tours, as well as being very popular in school performances and theatre such as the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre.There is talk of production starting in March 2010 for a film remake of Footloose that was originally to star Zac Efron, who later declined, and now Chace Crawford is said to be the leading roll. There was also talk of Derek Hough to reprise his London musical tour roll in the film. Derek Hough's sister, also a Dancing with the Stars alum and Country music singer, Julianne Hough, is the leading contender for the
female role-which makes me hope that Derek is not the lead roll...as that would be awkward!
Everybody cut Footloose!
