I highly recommend seeing Footloose at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres. We are still in a time of uncertainty, and this production will make you forget all of that. It brings positive, uplifting, and light songs that will be stuck in your head when you leave the theatre!

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres (CDT) brings audiences the hit Broadway musical, FOOTLOOSE. Based on the hit film that captured the hearts of America, FOOTLOOSE is filled with dazzling choreography, electrifying music and a moving story that brings an entire community together.

The production features Emanuelle Araujo, in the role of sarcastic Velma Kelly; Paulo Szot, as  the charming and unscrupulous Billy Flynn (a role he currently played on Broadway); and Carol Costa as the “innocent” and surprising Roxie Hart. L. Candido (Mary Sunshine), Lilian Valeska (Mama Morton) and Eduardo Amir (Amos Hart) complete the main cast.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

Footloose will be presented by the Charleston Light Opera Guild on August 5, 6, 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. and on August 7 and 14 at 2:00 p.m. at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center Little Theatre.
