After much anticipation, the '80s phenomenon Footloose: The Musical is touring Australia.
An all-Australian cast will bring this high-energy production to the stage, with South East Queensland's Gabriel Tiller in the lead as Ren. Played by Kevin Bacon in the iconic '80s movie, Ren is the rebellious kid who tells the town of Bomont that it's time to dance.
WAAPA alumni Brittany Morton is cast as the powerful Reverend Shaw Moore. Beloved stars of both TV and stage, Sophie Weiss and Rachael Beck share the role of the Reverend's wife and audience favourite, Vi Moore.
Green Room Award winner Maverick Newman returns as the hilarious and heartwarming Willard, with the unstoppable Maddison Coleman returning as Rusty.
Brianna Bishop as Wendy Jo; Angela Brischetto as Urleen; Justin Gray as Chuck; Jordan Twigg as Ethel, and Tim Brown as Cowboy Rob. The stunning ensemble cast includes Elena Atanasovski, Lachlan Inwood, Georgia Oom, Conor Putland, Cristian Robba-Colley, Matilda Simmons, Alexander Tye, Madison Randl and Lachlan Greenland.
Based on the titular 1984 movie, the four-time Tony Award nominated musical became a cultural phenomenon, capturing the hearts of millions with its powerful story of youth, freedom, and the unifying power of music and dance.
