Lyrics by Dean Pitchford
Based on the 1984 film
In a small town where dancing and rock music are banned, teenager Ren McCormack challenges the restrictive rules imposed by the local authorities.
With the help of friends and newfound allies, he inspires the community to embrace freedom, joy, and self-expression. A high-energy musical, it celebrates the power of music, movement, and youthful rebellion.
