'Footloose' the Musical

Calling all Creatives for Blenheim Musical Theatre's production of

‘Footloose’ a timeless story of love and life.

Set in a rural town with heartache amongst its young people, 'Footloose' follows a story of survival and freedom, rich with all the characters it takes to make up a rural town.

With musical influences spanning three generations, and drawn from ‘80s rock, rock ‘n’ roll, R&B, pop, gospel & Broadway, and with dancing travelling from the streets of Chicago to country dance halls, 'Footloose' has something for everyone.

We are looking for a strong cast of characters - actors, singers, dancers and movers... to become a town… from 16 years upwards… we need all ages to authenticate this show.

An information evening will be held on 21 October at 7pm, St Ninians Church Hall.

We’d love to see y’all!
