Get ready to cut loose — Footloose The Musical is coming to The Concourse Theatre in Chatswood this August 2025 for a strictly limited season. Based on the cult classic 1984 film that launched Kevin Bacon into stardom, this electrifying stage adaptation brings the rebellious spirit of small-town youth to life through high-energy choreography, unforgettable characters, and a soundtrack packed with iconic 80s anthems. For the first time ever, this Tony-nominated musical makes its debut at one of Sydney’s premier venues.

With a story that resonates across generations, Footloose follows teenager Ren McCormack as he shakes up a conservative town where dancing has been banned. Through dazzling performances and a killer soundtrack that includes “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” and “Holding Out for a Hero,” this production captures the explosive joy and emotional heart of the original movie, while injecting it with new life and infectious stage energy.

Running from August 14 to August 24, the show lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission. The Concourse Theatre is fully wheelchair accessible, and audiences of all ages are welcome, though children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. For those looking for the best value, preview tickets on August 14 are available at up to 20% off—a great opportunity to experience the magic before opening night.

This limited season is expected to sell out fast, so book your tickets now and get ready to dance your heart out at one of Sydney’s most exciting musical theatre events of the year.
