It’s bold, it’s electric, and it’s the first time

After much anticipation, the ‘80s phenomenon Footloose: The Musical commences a national tour with an Adelaide premiere on 11 April at Her Majesty’s Theatre, for a strictly limited season.

The tour follows a completely sold-out Melbourne season, proving just how much Australian audiences love the official, fully remastered production of the beloved jukebox musical.

It’s bold, it’s electric, and it’s the first time Australia has seen a professional production of Footloose in over 20 years.

Based on the iconic film starring Kevin Bacon, 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.

Australians have embraced Footloose for decades and now it returns in a brand new production – bigger, bolder, and more explosive than ever before. From rural towns to big cities, Footloose has left an indelible mark on generations, and its legacy lives on.

Join Ren, the city kid turned rebel with a cause, as he shakes up a small town where music and dancing are outlawed. At the heart of the show are thrilling dance and production numbers, set to the chart-topping soundtrack that defined a generation.

The production includes some of the most iconic pop and rock anthems of the 1980s. Hits include Holding Out For A Hero, Let’s Hear It For The Boy, Almost Paradise, Somebody’s Eyes, The Girl Gets Around, I’m Free, the title song Footloose and more.

Footloose is a celebration of community, connection, and the courage to make change. It’s bold. It’s joyful. And it’s one of the most fun nights out you’ll have all year.

Born in Cairns (Far North Queensland – Australia) I am the youngest and the only boy of a family of five. My first serious job was as a Salesperson, the announcer, then Production Manager for 4AM. I spent in excess of ten years running my own successful entertainment agency before moving to Melbourne (Victoria – Australia) where I currently live, work and play. A week after arriving I joined the sales team at JOY 94.9fm – what was to be Australia’s first and only dedicated gay and lesbian radio station. I was clearly destined to be self-employed as fate would have it. Q Magazine was born in March 2004 and as they so rightly say ‘the rest is history’.
