Day One: Footloose
I think I might have seen more theatre shows when I was younger, but the farthest I can remember is when I was 10, and I saw Footloose at this theater in my hometown and I loved it.
Footloose is about this small down where, thanks to this Reverend, whose son was killed in a car crash after coming home from a dance, and made dancing illegal. This doesn't jive very well with newcomer Ren, who pretty much lives to dance. He ends up dating the Reverend's daughter, Ariel, who has a reputation of sleeping around.
Things get complicated with her boyfriend, Chuck, whom she only dates for sex, and her father, who thinks Ren is a bad influence, and pretty much the older generation of the town, who doesn't agree with Ren either. In the end, dancing isn't banned anymore and Ren and Ariel live happily ever after.
(Yes, I know there are more characters but this is a rough outline of the show)
This show is nice to watch and to hear the soundtrack to, but to be in? My guess is you have to be good at dancing as well as singing and acting, and I mean really good at dancing. But I've always enjoyed watching it on TV when it was on (the 1984 version, not that crap one they made last year).
\So, without further ado, one of my favorite songs from the show "I'm Free (Heaven Helps The Man)"
