Fans of Footloose
- the iconic 80’s movie with a great soundtrack, featuring a youthful Kevin
Bacon as the tenacious and rebellious city teenager, Ren, and John Lithgow as
the conservative Rev Shaw Moore, are in for a treat this week.
Footloose has two different incarnations currently on the boards in Durban:
the 17th annual Young Performers Production is a reprise of the full-length
musical, Footloose, directed by Daisy
Spencer, featuring a cast of talented youthful performers performing to a live
band at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on campus.
Also the theme song, Footloose is being performed as a line-dancing number by Denim and
Diamonds as part of the line-up in this year’s Shall We Dance currently on at the Playhouse. Both shows have
received rave reviews and run until this Sunday. Booking for both is through
Computicket.
