FOOTLOOSE: The Musical
Starring Gareth Gates
Newcastle Tyne Theatre & Opera House
Tuesday 12th to Saturday
16th July 2016
Worldwide smash hit musical Footloose: The Musical will
burst back onto the stage in 2016, playing at Tyne Theatre & Opera House
from Tuesday 12th to Saturday 16th July 2016 as part of a major new UK Tour.
Based on the 1984 screen sensation starring Kevin
Bacon, Footloose: The Musical tells
the story of city boy Ren, who has to move to a rural backwater in America
where dancing is banned. All hell breaks out as Ren breaks loose and soon has
the whole town up on its feet. Featuring classic 80s hits including Holding
Out for a Hero,Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear it for the Boy and
the unforgettable title track, Footloose:
The Musical is set to take the world by storm once again in
this brand new production, bursting with youthful spirit, dazzling dance and
electrifying music.
When the film was released in 1984, it became the
highest-grossing February release in US film history. The soundtrack album ended the
year-long reign of Michael Jackson’s Thriller at number one
and went on top album charts all over the world, eventually selling in excess
of 17 million copies. Footloose was nominated for a
Golden Globe, and both the title song and Let’s Hear It for the Boy received
Academy Award nominations. Footloose: The Musical first opened
on Broadway in 1998 where it ran for 709 performances, with a London production following in 2006, opening at the
Novello Theatre following a UK Tour.
Footloose: The Musical has music by Tom Snow and lyrics by Dean
Pitchford, and is adapted for the stage by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie. It
is based on the original screenplay by Dean Pitchford. It is directed and
choreographed by Racky Plews (American Idiot, West End).
It is produced by David Hutchinson and Phillip Rowntree for Sell A Door Theatre
Company and Tristan Baker & Charlie Parsons for Runaway Entertainment. It
is presented by arrangement with R&H Theatricals Europe.
