Northampton Musical Theatre Company bring Footloose to Royal & Derngate
Following previous successes with Kinky Boots, Calendar Girls The Musical and Shrek, award-winning local group Northampton Musical Theatre Company return to Royal & Derngate with their fantastic production of Footloose, which they will be performing from Tuesday 29 October to Saturday 2 November.
Footloose tells the story of Ren McCormack, a teenage city boy forced to move to Bomont – a small rural town in America where he learns rock ‘n’ roll and dancing have both been banned by the local preacher. Ren then decides to try and change this and works to get the whole town up on its feet!
Based on the 1980’s big screen hit, this full-of-energy musical is packed with popular songs including Holding Out For A Hero and Let’s Hear It For The Boy along with the title track Footloose.
