So I do not really know where this post would go. But I am the set designer for footloose, Well the director wants to make the show very special, Considering we did the show in 2006. So I have came up with a couple ideas for the show. Our grand curtain is on a batten and can be raised. So I have talked to the music director about creating a 15 second beat of music, So while the director makes her pre-show announcement the house lights will go down and the grand curtain will rise about 1 1/2 feet off the ground and you will see Ariel, Chuck, Wendy, Urleen, Willard, Rusty, and Ren to be standing in a straight line and when she finishes her announcements they a black light will turn on behind the grand and they will be wearing neon converses. Then once the "Footloose" song starts the grand will go back down and open partly for Ren to come out and sing. We are trying to recreate the original movie opening scene. This looks very good and think it will make the show unique. On top of that when the grand opens a HUGE Footloose sign will come down. I feel like this will make the show a lot better. Also in the burger blast when they sing "Holding Out For A Hero" a fog machine will be behind the counter and when they start to go into there little dream the lights will turn blue the fog will roll out and they will have microphones. I am very excited about these ideas. I was wondering if there was anything anyone else could think of to make the show more unique?
