Footloose - The MusicalNewest Review: ... around and Let’s hear it for the Boy with some not so well known . On the whole it had a young , fresh cast who were full of life and so keen , despite having done 2 performances on the Saturday before ours . So much so that the rest of the cast had to practically drag Tommy Sherlock from the stage at the end . As it was the final show that week there was a terrific encore . The cast did a ... more |

As those of you who have read my Hull New Theatre review already know , I went to see Footloose The Musical last Saturday .

I walked out of the theatre having seen Footloose wishing I could go straight back in and watch it again. If you were after a quickie summary of the show, that’s it. It’s good. Really good.

The only version I knew apart from ours was the Kevin Bacon film one, so when I heard the stage musical was touring the UK, I immediately logged on and got a ticket. A gas station. A church. A school gym. They’re not the most normal of settings for a musical, but they all ...
