With a wonderful cast and crew, Footloose is sure to be one of AMTC’s most energetic musicals to date - as a dance-focussed show, almost every classic song has a high-energy routine to accompany it.

Footloose was made famous by the 1984 film, starring Kevin Bacon, and has toured both the US and UK ever since it debuted on Broadway in 1998.

The musical tells the story of Ariel (Bethany Griffiths) and Ren (Will Swinnerton) and their quest to make dancing legal again, after it is banned due to a fatal tragedy in the small town of Beaumont. Ariel’s father Reverend Shaw (Martin Lambert) is passionate about keeping his town safe in the aftermath of the tragedy, but at what cost?

Follow Ariel, Ren, Willard (John Clay), Rusty (Ellie Woodman) and their group of friends as they embark on a journey to bring joy back to the town Beaumont.
