The Old Creamery Theatre presents “Footloose” opening Sept. 7.
Like other stage musicals whose movie roots are just as much in music as story (“Mama Mia” being the prime example), “Footloose” the Musical contains all the songs you remember from the 80s movie. But it dives a little deeper into the story of how a community heals from tragedy, giving the story a deeper meaning. Which isn’t to say it isn’t a lot of fun, and challenging for choreographer Keegan Christopher, who had design choreography for a show that takes place in a town that doesn’t allow dancing!
