About Footloose (Touring)

Few musicals have maintained cultural staying power quite like Footloose. Originally adapted from the iconic 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon, the stage version of Footloose first burst onto Broadway in 1998 and has since become a perennial favorite for touring productions across the country. The story follows Ren McCormack, a city kid who moves to a small, conservative town where rock music and dancing have been banned — and proceeds to fight back with passion, energy, and some seriously spectacular moves.

The musical is loaded with anthems that audiences know by heart. From the title track "Footloose" to "Almost Paradise," "Let's Hear It for the Boy," and "Holding Out for a Hero," the score is an unstoppable parade of crowd-pleasing hits that keep energy in the room from the first note to the final bow. The touring production brings full professional staging, choreography, and production design that matches the scale of what Atlanta audiences expect from a top-tier touring show.

Atlanta fans who grew up on the film or discovered the musical in school productions now get to experience it in a full professional touring format — and introduce a new generation to one of the great feel-good stories in American popular culture.
