THE Nuffield will play host to Showstoppers main show of 2010 Footloose next week.
When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the adjustment to his new school.
What he isn’t prepared for are the local laws – including a ban on dancing – which are the brainchild of a local preacher bent on exercising control over the town’s youths.
When the Reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her heart on Ren, her boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation and many of the locals are eager to believe the worst about the new kid. With its Oscar-nominated hit score (the film’s soundtack has sold over 15 million copies worldwide) this celebrated film musical bursts explosively onto stage.
Footlooseis a powerful, feel-good musical with an energetic, toe-tapping soundtack including such well-loved numbers as Holding Out For A Hero, Let’s Hear It For The Boyand, of course, the title track. Runs from Wednesday to Saturday. For tickets, call 023 8067 1771.
