Everybody cut loose! We are celebrating 40 years of Footloose with our exciting new stage production!

“A time to laugh... and a time to weep. A time to mourn... and there is a time to dance”

The New Wolsey Theatre is heading back to the 1980s this Autumn to stage a spectacular new production of the explosive musical Footloose.

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment to starting at a new high school, but he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing. 

This heartfelt story pits a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top Forty score, elevated with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

Based on the hit 1980s film, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary, and directed by the New Wolsey Theatre’s Chief Executive/Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul (Made in Dagenham (Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and New Wolsey Theatre), Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole The Musical (Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch), Footloose will première at Pitlochry Festival Theatre from 31 May until 26 September and then transfer to the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich from 3-26 October.

Footloose first burst into life in the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon and was one of that year's most successful motion pictures. The film’s soundtrack reached Number 1 on the Billboard charts and went on to sell over 17 million copies worldwide, generating hits including its title song and Let’s Hear It for the Boy (both of which received Academy Award nominations), plus Almost Paradise, Holding Out for A Hero by Bonnie Tyler, and I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man).

Everybody cut loose! We are celebrating 40 years of Footloose with our exciting new stage production!

“A time to laugh... and a time to weep. A time to mourn... and there is a time to dance”

The New Wolsey Theatre is heading back to the 1980s this Autumn to stage a spectacular new production of the explosive musical Footloose.

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment to starting at a new high school, but he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing. 

This heartfelt story pits a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tony-nominated Top Forty score, elevated with dynamic new songs, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

Based on the hit 1980s film, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary, and directed by the New Wolsey Theatre’s Chief Executive/Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul (Made in Dagenham (Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and New Wolsey Theatre), Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole The Musical (Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch), Footloose will première at Pitlochry Festival Theatre from 31 May until 26 September and then transfer to the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich from 3-26 October.

Footloose first burst into life in the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon and was one of that year's most successful motion pictures. The film’s soundtrack reached Number 1 on the Billboard charts and went on to sell over 17 million copies worldwide, generating hits including its title song and Let’s Hear It for the Boy (both of which received Academy Award nominations), plus Almost Paradise, Holding Out for A Hero by Bonnie Tyler, and I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man).

Booking an Audio Described performance? Add a Pre-show Touch Tour! The Touch Tour for Footloose is on Friday 18th October starting at 6:30pm.

For many blind, partially sighted or visually impaired theatregoers, a touch tour is an essential part of the theatre experience. Having access to the stage and set before a performance is a way of firming up the descriptive information they may have already received and provides them with extra detail to allow them to engage with the production.

Customers will explore the space, and may like to handle selected props, costumes and furniture.

A touch tour ticket is not a ticket to the performance, these are booked separately through the Footloose event page linked below.

Based on the hit 1980s film, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary, and directed by the New Wolsey Theatre’s Chief Executive/Artistic Director Douglas Rintoul (Made in Dagenham (Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch and New Wolsey Theatre), Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole The Musical (Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch), Footloose will première at Pitlochry Festival Theatre from 31 May until 26 September and then transfer to the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich from 3-26 October.

Footloose first burst into life in the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon and was one of that year's most successful motion pictures. The film’s soundtrack reached Number 1 on the Billboard charts and went on to sell over 17 million copies worldwide, generating hits including its title song and Let’s Hear It for the Boy (both of which received Academy Award nominations), plus Almost Paradise, Holding Out for A Hero by Bonnie Tyler, and I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man).

After the Act

“Queers in classrooms!” “Perverts panicking parents!”
A new, 1980’s-inspired musical about pride, protest… and abseiling lesbians.

Section 28 was the landmark legislation that silenced a generation, offered a global blueprint for LGBTQ+ oppression and ended up galvanising a community. This show is funny, camp and unapologetically queer but also a clear-eyed exposure of the political playbook used to enact repressive laws.

(Almost) every word is taken from first-hand interviews, news articles and speeches. Touching personal narratives emerge from the wider political story as we go from the adolescent anguish of the classroom to the heated debates of Parliament, via impassioned street demonstrations and euphoric celebration.
The joyously exuberant original score, performed live, conjures the music of The Section 28 Years: protest songs, house music, and of course, disco!

Two decades after Section 28’s repeal, multi-award-winning theatre company, Breach (It’s True, It’s True, It’s True) sing and dance on the grave of this watershed moment.

★★★★ ‘Empowering and gut-wrenching... full of righteous anger and euphoric 80s synths’ The Telegraph

★★★★ ‘Heart-rending yet joyful... brilliantly conveys the hysteria and outrage of Section 28’ The Stage

Listed trailer is from 2023 production featuring the original cast.


A Breach production commissioned by New Diorama. Co-produced by Brighton Festival, HOME, New and Warwick Arts Centre.

Echoes by Mi Flamenco

International flamenco company, Mi Flamenco, come to the New Wolsey Theatre for the first time with their dazzling multimedia touring production, Echoes.

Everything we experience leaves an indelible imprint... A trace... An echo.

Blending personal reflections of Spain with the power and poise of flamenco – Echoes beckons the audience to embark on a journey to the innermost curiosities and beauty of Andalusian culture.

Wild, beautiful, and contradictory, Spain has captured the minds of travellers, poets and artists for centuries. It has also invited cliché and criticism. These skilled dancers and musicians provide a very particular vision through Mi Flamenco's artistic lens.

This evocative multimedia production is an immersive experience combining filmic imagery, flamenco dance and soul-stirring music.

“…stunning flamenco dancing backed up by hugely talented guitar players and singers”.

Helen Potter (Docklands Review)
“…gut-wrenchingly beautiful dance.”

Matthew Jenkin (News shopper Review)

Dom Joly – The Conspiracy Tour

“Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean you’re not being followed!”

Dom Joly has been off travelling the globe again. This time, he’s been looking into some of the strangest and weirdest conspiracy theories in existence.

Now, he’s now set to embark on a rather unique theatre tour, where Dom will be providing a hilarious, fascinating, and slightly anarchic guide to the wacky world of conspiracies.

1. Is the earth flat?

2. Does Finland exist?

3. Did JFK commit suicide?

4. Are Q Anon mentally ill?

5. Is Bill Gates using vaccines to take control of your mind?

6. Is Denver Airport a massive panic room for the Illuminati?

7. Are UFOs piloted by lizards?

In the spirt of fairness, Dom will also be inviting a well-known and highly respected conspiracy theorist, Dr Julian Northcote, to take the stage and defend the alternate view.

Due to the extremely controversial views aired in the show, security will be at an optimum and audiences are warned that angry demonstrations are very likely – or is that just another conspiracy?!
