Quotes:

• “Our colorful setting for Footloose is that of an abandoned factory in the outer most reaches of the rust-belt.”
• “This factory with its reaching towers, multiple levels, and rolling ladders gives the Footloose company a playground on which to climb, jump from, and spin around as the story of Footloose unfolds.”
