FOOTLOOSE THE MUSICAL

The Spa Pavilion Theatre wishes to announce that application forms are now available for those interested in auditioning for this year’s Summer Youth Project – Footloose!

Based on the 1980’s riveting screen sensation starring Kevin Bacon it took the world by storm with its youthful spirit, dazzling dance and electrifying music. When Ren and his mother who move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the adjustment to his new high 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.

This fast paced show is not only packed full of amazing dance but serves up some 80’s hits, including Holding out for a Hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s Hear it for the Boy and of course the unforgettable title track Footloose.

  The Spa Pavilion Summer Youth Project, now in its eighth year, provides an opportunity for budding young stars in the local area aged between 9 and 23 to stage and perform a full-scale musical under expert professional supervision.

  Over a two week period the cast are put through an intensive rehearsal schedule, learning all stage techniques including performance, lighting, sound and music.  In the second week the show is performed to the paying public in full costume.

  Application forms can be downloaded from the Spa Pavilion website or can be collected in person from the venue.  Auditions will be held at The Spa Pavilion on Friday 9^th April 2010.
