Review: FOOTLOOSE THE MUSICAL at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
by Sandra Harberger - Apr 8, 2023

Jordan Radis had the formidable task of portraying Ren McCormack, which is Kevin Bacon’s break-out role from the 80’s. He was able to pay homage to Kevin Bacon’s character while giving the it his own style. Audrey Taylor Floyd, who play Rusty, stood out with her impressive vocal performance in “Let’s Hear it for the Boy.” Though it is strange to hear pop songs from the 80’s sung in musical theatre style, Audrey was able to nail that song just like I remember hearing it many years ago. This show will make you laugh and want to dance and sing to songs you haven’t hear in years but still somehow know all the words.

by Tyler Hinton - Feb 5, 2022

An exhilarating use of water elements, including a colossal 39,000-gallon tank in which a ship floats and actors swim, enhances rather than overwhelms the tender emotional connections of the story.
