First off the lead guy sucked. I had a hard time picturing him as the straight male lead. That's pretty much the only fair criticism I have the right to make. I know that the show will be lacking due to the fact it's Atlantic city but I feel there is no excuse for poor casting. Everyone else was substantial. Actually the girls were quite good. Shame on the casting director for picking a horrible lead guy.
The show was a ton of fun to watch! The cast had terrific energy that was totally contagious. They belted out the lyrics and danced their hearts out without taking themselves or the show too seriously. Our particular favorite was "Mama says". On a more seious note, the preacher's wife is a small part played beautifully by..??? They do not hand out playbills so we had no idea who the actors were. We would have really liked to have read something about the cast. Overall it was a completely fun way to spend time in Atlantic City without losing money at the slots!
Step one: Buy your tickets here at Ticketmaster, no problems picking them up at Will Call at the box office. Step two: When you get to the person who rips your ticket stub at the door, show them a $10 bill, they mark your ticket with a code using a marker. Step three: Walk down to the seats where the next usher looks at your ticket with "code" and you guessed it, your at 3rd row center... Step four: you will love this 2 hour no intermission Play/comedy/ musical dance explosion. YOU WILL LAUGH, YOU WILL LOVE THE SETS, YOU WILL REMEMBER THE STORY OF THE TEENAGE BOY FORCED TO MOVE WITH HIS SEPERATED MOM TO A SMALL TOWN...WHERE THE TOWN OUTLAWED DANCING...GO SEE IT...
The lead male vocal did not have a very good voice. The only male voice that was good was the person playing the preacher. All the female singers had good voices and the female lead have a very good voice and carried the show.
Spectacular show . . . every moment was great. Very motivating storyline. Wonderful signing and dancing. Very, very impressive skills by these young actors and actresses.
I absolutely loved this production. The Forest Hills facility is small and cozy, with every seat a good one! The story Footloose was interesting and the music superb. Most of all, I loved seeing these young people display such talent and enthusiasm. Clearly they were proud of what they had produced and will have a memory forever. Their voices were great and well chosen for the music. And they had such fun doing the modern choreographered dance. Hats of to the High School professionals that directed this production. A MUST SEE!
The young people in this production were clearly very talented and had worked hard to put on a quality production. that's why it is a shame the quality of the sound throughout the production was mediocre at best. I took my daughter and granddaughters (ages 3,8, and 11) and thought perhaps it was my hearing loss that was the problem, but in discussing it with them, they could not understand the dialogue and the orchestra overpowered the voices of the performers. Either the acoustics are horrible or the sound engineer needs to look into this problem. We all enjoyed the producti9on numbers the most because hearing words wasn't a concern. The dancing was great and chorus numbers also sounded terrific. All the solo numbers or any dialogue portions were frustrating each and every time. It's a shame becuase the community must have invested heavily to build such a magnificent facility. I've attended many stage productions both professional (New York, L.A. Denver. New Orleans, and Washington D.C.) and non-professional and when the sound is good it always enhances the audience's experience. If this flaw could be corrected, this would be an enjoyable production appropriate for all ages. However, without that correction,it was disappointing
Great, high-energy fun from start to finish. The casting was terrific. Especially notable was Willard ;o) Only negative was that we were sitting in the third row and had a hard time hearing what was being said at times. Don't know if it was the acoustics in the auditorium, or what.
