Footloose, Blackpool Opera House, 11th-16th April
What better way to start the Easter holidays than to bop on down to Blackpool and see all hell break loose courtesy of teen rebel Ren.
Back at Blackpool Opera House by popular demand, Footloose has enjoyed two critically acclaimed tours and a West End run. The cast of the musical, based on the cult 80s movie, includes some of the UK’s most talented performers, with Jake Quickenden as loveable cowboy Willard, and TV personality and West End star Darren Day as Reverend Moore.
Already unhappy at being moved to a rural backwater of Bomont in America, city boy Ren is horrified to discover that dancing and rock music are banned, so makes it his mission to get the town back on its feet.
Including the 80s classics, Holding Out for a Hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear It For The Boy and of course the unforgettable title track Footloose, this smash hit show is picking up rave reviews, with the Manchester Evening News saying “You leave feeling like you could change the world.”
If ever there was the perfect time to do that it’s now! Kick off your Sunday shoes and get your tickets booked for Blackpool.
