Footloose, based on the hit 1984 film, tells the story of Ren, as he moves from the big city of Chicago to small town U.S.A. Unprepared for religious local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local pastor, Ren sets out to bring forgotten joy to his new friends. Audiences will rock to the Oscar and Tony-nominated musical score and soundtrack that reached number one on the Billboard charts with hits such as “Let’s Hear It For The Boy,” “Almost Paradise,” “Holding Out For A Hero,” and “Footloose.”

Performances are continuing as scheduled. If it becomes necessary to postpone, reschedule or cancel performances, a notice will be placed on our website and Facebook page.

Two worlds collide in this breathtaking and exquisite musical. Set in 1860’s Bangkok, The King and I tells the story of the unconventional and tempestuous relationship that develops between the King of Siam and a British schoolteacher whom the modernist King brings to Siam to teach his many wives and children. One of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s finest works, The King and I boasts a score that features such beloved classics as “Getting To Know You,” “I Whistle A Happy Tune,” “Hello Young Lovers,” “Shall We Dance” and “Something Wonderful.”
