Footloose – Performing Arts Company
2:49pm Tuesday 20th July 2010 in
A TALE of a small town in the US where dancing is banned and the rebellious outsider who brings change for good, Footloose is an exuberant experience with some lively, foot-tapping tunes and quite a lot of dancing.
PAC’s production exactly captured the spirit and mood of the piece, varying the pace of scenes perfectly. As befits a musical about dancing, the choreography was strong. The cast really invested a great deal in each number. If the two leads were slightly underpowered, there was excellent support.
Graham Thorpe and Cathy Tuttle gave outstanding performances as Rev Shaw and his long-suffering wife Vi, respectively. Eliza Dunn (Rusty) and Lewis Philpott (Wilard) were the comic hearts of the show.
This was a fun show with style and lots of energy.
