About Footloose (Touring)

Footloose is one of American pop culture's most enduring stories — a celebration of youth, rebellion, community, and the unstoppable power of music. Based on the 1984 Dean Pitchford film that launched Kevin Bacon into superstardom, the stage musical adaptation brings that same electric energy to life with a full cast, dynamic choreography, and a soundtrack packed with chart-topping hits that defined a generation.

The show follows Ren McCormack, a Chicago teenager who moves to the small town of Bomont, where dancing has been banned by the local reverend. What unfolds is a story of passion, freedom, and the courage to stand up for what you believe in — set to an explosive score that includes "Footloose," "Holding Out for a Hero," "Almost Paradise," and "Let's Hear It for the Boy."

The touring production has earned rave reviews across North America for its faithful, high-spirited staging that brings fresh energy to a classic. Whether you grew up with the original film or are discovering the story for the first time, the Footloose touring company delivers a night of pure theatrical joy. Atlanta audiences have always embraced touring Broadway and stage productions with enthusiasm, and this performance at the Strand Theatre is set to be a full-house celebration.
