Leg Warmers

With jaw dropped horror i read online that two new musicals are about to debut at the West End.

Footloose.
and Movin Out (music by B Joel)

I rarely lapse into americanisms. but Oh, My, Gawhd.

And i thought Brooke and the Hoffmeister being in Chicago was cringeworthy.

However, if i were to produce Footloose, I would revamp it to correspond to modern- read not 1980s- times. Such as make the town an obvious parody of the NeoCons. Rewrite the pastor -father as a Republican state senator. Ask Kevin Bacon to have a cameo. And make sure all significant cast members are within 6 degrees of him.

Footloose is such a classic movie, albeit cheesy. What are producers thinking bringing it to stage? How can they replicate that "tractor" show down scene?

Great, now "Holding out for a Hero" will be in my head all day.
