footloose

  • Question:-Footloose?!?
    I'm a 16 year old, 5'9, 145 pounds, athletic. I have a baritone deep voice, and im a very strong actor. My dancing isn't that good, and my voice can't go that high at all. What part should i go out for in footloose?

    Answer:-I was in that show a year ago!! I got to play Areil!! It was so much fun, you'll have a blast!!

    I would say go for Chuck or perhaps Reverend Shaw. Chuck is supposed to be really tough, attractive, and he sings a fun and sexy song with Ariel. You can have a lot of fun being a jerk in that role.

    Reverend Shaw has a big role and two different songs he sings by himself. He does go moderately high, so perhaps you shouldn't set your hopes on him. But this is definately something to strive for. If you've ever seen Beauty and the Beast, his voice is like the Beast's.

    Willard would also be a SUPER fun role! You'd get to sing one song that you can just southern twang your way through. He has some really funny things he gets to do too, which would be fabulous if you'r a great actor.

    I hope you have fun!!
  • Question:-footloose?
    I saw the musical last summer, and i saw that it was on tv today (abc family) so i turned it on and watched it for about 2 hours and nobody was singing. There would be background music, but there wasn't really any singing and very little dancing. Is it suppose to be a musical, or just like movie turned into musical?

    do you like the movie better or the musical?

    Answer:-the musical you saw was the whole movie translated into song and dance...the real movie isnt like that
  • Question:-What is the role of cowboy bob in the musical footloose?
    My school is doing footloose for the fall musical and I was wondering what cowboy bob's role was. Including any songs, dance routines, and any other specifics.

    Answer:-Cowboy Bob is a small role in the first scene of the second act. The main four characters have gone to a bar, and Cowboy Bob tries to steal Rusty from Willard to dance with her. It's not a big role, but if played right, can be a memorable one.
  • Question:-What should I get my fellow Footloose cast members as gifts?
    I'm Ariel in our upcoming production of Footloose and I have no idea what to get the other cast members. I want something small and inexpensive to get for everyone, and then something a little more to give to my friends and other main people in the cast. Any suggestions?

    Answer:-You aren't obligated to get the whole cast anything, but if you choose to get something, I would get the same thing for everyone, regardless of their role - anything else will hurt feelings. The easiest (and least odd) thing to do would be to go get some discount Halloween candy and make goodie bags to put on everyone's station. You can put it in something or include something that has to do with the show. (For example, when I was in a childrens' show, we got candy and one of those little plastic kids' kaleidoscope things in a Masin jar.)
  • Question:-What are some songs similar in style to songs from Footloose?

  • Question:-Can anyone tell me where to find FREE FOOTLOOSE SHEET MUSIC?
    My friend and I want to sing a duet at a fundraiser TOMORROW. We want to sing "Learning to be Silent" from the musical Footloose, but we're having the hardest time finding sheet music. I've called several of my friends, one of which has a sister who is touring with 25th Annunal Putnam County Spelling Bee and even SHE doesn't have the sheet music! Anyone know where I can get some either for free or for a very low price?

    Answer:-Best source is www.colonymusic.com. Their store is ON Broadway in NYC. The old guys who work there know EVERYTHING. You might need to buy the vocal collection - I doubt if this is so obscure or minor in the show that you would need the entire vocal *score*.
  • Question:-What is the song played in the new footloose commercial?
    In the commercial played on TV for the new footloose commercial, there is a song played during it. What is the song?
    10 points for best answer!

    Answer:-sour cherry by the kills
  • Question:-What is a good song for a male to sing for an audition for Footloose?
    In two weeks, I am going to an audition for Pittsburgh Musical Theater, which is doing Footloose. I really need suggestions for songs that wouldn't be too too hard, but still show some singing talent. I also have to do a monologue, which I do already have which one I'm doing, but how should I prepare for a monologue? Thanks!

    Answer:-Having played Ren in a production of Footloose, I feel like "Can't Stand Still," is a great song from the actual show. Verses and choruses aren't that difficult to do, but there's a part at the end that goes into high falsetto for guys, ending with a James Brown-esque section of "no's." That could really show off a falsetto.

    But if you're looking for something more ballad-y, you can always try "Almost Paradise." That's a good one from the show. If you're allowed to audition with songs outside of the show, I've always liked "Make Them Hear You," from Ragtime.

    Unless you're a girl. If you are, I have no suggestions. Sorry!
  • Question:-How much dancing do Vi and Ethel do in Footloose the musical?
    I am thinking about auditioning for Vi or Ethel's part in Footloose. I am 30 years old and overweight. I have performed in a musical before but I can't dance very well at all. I heard that these two ladies have to do some dancing. Do you know how much and during which songs?

    Answer:-Hire the movie or get a hold of the script and see for yourself.
    All the best :)
