By the tail end of the `90s, everything was grist for the pop culture mill, which recycled and redefined itself at an alarming rate, especially in the world of musical theater. In the `80s, FOOTLOOSE was a cheesy teen movie starring the notoriously ubiquitous Kevin Bacon as a rebel in a small town whose only cause seems to be a sock hop. Nearly 15 years later, FOOTLOOSE had been transformed into a successful Broadway musical, where the somewhat dubious plot took a backseat to elaborate dance numbers and, of course, songs. The original FOOTLOOSE soundtrack featured hits by Kenny Loggins and Deniece Williams that were pure `80s pop at its most unapologetic. A bit of the synthesized `80s sheen has been sanded off for the stage, and there`s more traditional-sounding Broadway-style music here than you might expect, but if the songs grabbed you in their original form, you`ll find whole different side to that material as presented here.
