The Broadway musical that "Footloose" is based on is also titled "Footloose." It premiered in 1998 and features a score by Tom Snow and lyrics by Dean Pitchford, who co-wrote the original 1984 film's songs. The story revolves around a city teenager who moves to a small town where dancing and Rock Music are banned, and he fights for the right to dance. The musical captures the same themes of rebellion, freedom, and self-expression as the movie.
Footloose
The musical premiered on Broadway in 1958. The movie came out in 1961. That used to be the regular modus operandi, first the stage musical opened, then there was a movie version. Not that it's totally new, but it seems that almost every musical on Broadway today is based on a movie. (A current exception is Spring Awakening, which is going to be made into a movie soon.)
No, Jennifer Lawrence wasn't in Footloose.

Mamma Mia! is now in theatres. A remake of the "My Fair Lady" film is underway. I heard something about Footloose with Zac Efron, but that may just be a rumer. The final performance of Rent on Broadway will be in theaters for four days only, so hop along to Broadway.com and check out the dates. There making movie version of Nine, Damn Yankees, Footloose, Wicked, Fame, and they were talking about Guys and Dolls but have not heard anything for sure on that one. Zac Efron did drop Footloose and was replaced by Chase Crawford.
