Fabulous Footloose!


"Footloose", the musical played at the Sovereign Performance Center last Thursday, on its 10th anniversary tour. It's something I've been looking forward to for a long time, ever since I missed "The Producers" in December, especially because it has such great music, with the title song of course, and 'Holding out of a Hero', and so many others!
The play was very good, lots of snarky one-liners... lots of song and dance (a bit like a Hindi movie), and of course, a happy ending.

It is about a s boy Ren who moves into a small town where dancing was banned after a tragedy that happened 5 years earlier. Ren leads the 'rebellion' against the town council, led by the priest, and wins the girl - who happens to be the priest's daughter. It's a story about getting over loss, and finding happiness wherever you are.

While all the actors were pretty good, I think its the supporting roles that have the most fun. I LOVED Willard and Rusty (yes, even more than the main role characters), the mismatched pair - once taciturn and the other unable to shut up!


Anyway, Broadway on 6th street is a great idea... there's a whole line up of plays ahead- 'CATS' later this month followed by 'Annie', 'Oliver!' , '42nd Street' and 'Hairspray'. I'm hoping to see at least another couple of these. And 'Movin' Out' as well, when that play comes to Philadelphia in May. So, Go Broadway!

In the beginning of the 11th Century the represents of Christianity is able to banned the
duel form einvigi and holmgangr as lawfully accepted means to solve a dispute, and at
the same time the berserkr and the beserksgangr was made
illegal. I can attest to that, but I have one major problem:
I cannot afford to keep on paying up to $14 for every book that I want
to read. It is sold through Click - Bank, considered the internet's most trusted digital marketplace.

However, these are the most functional for readers.

There are e - Book companies that will format your manuscript files into e - Book files and can
even provide a cover image. I didn't have much money to spend, and some friends had told me that you could get a free laptop by signing up with a new broadband provider, or new mobile phone provider.
