In total, the mill was open for 57 years before it closed in As the actor admitted during a interview with Howard Stern, he had a dance double, though he did do some of his own dancing.
Featuring a live band and a cast of 27 talented performers, Footloose the Musical is a fast-paced drama with fantastic dancing and unforgettable 80's anthems including ' Holding Out for a Hero ', ' Let's Hear It for the Boy ', ' Almost Paradise ' and of course the title track ' Footloose '. Footloose is based on a true story. In the small town of Elmore City, Oklahoma faced a community crisis.

He was given half a Valium to calm himself down for the scene when Ren pleads with the Bomont town council to bring dancing back.
Loggins had broken a rib at a show, and Pitchford had strep throat and a fever of when the two met in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Because Loggins was soon flying to Asia, Pitchford hid the fact he was sick from Loggins by spraying his throat with Chloraseptic and taking decongestants so the two could get their songwriting done and appease Paramount.
Ross wanted the final scene to play out in slow motion , until the film was screened and it made the end drag.
