Fun night out at a cheap price

First, I will say that this is Shilling for a friend who is making his NYC stage debut (after auditioning for four and a half years). However, I waited to see the show myself before I posted because I wanted to make sure I wasn't promoting a piece of crap.

Footloose is what it is, a piece of fluff. However, this production is very enjoyable, and the cast has great chemistry with one another and draws you in (I was worried about this having seen 5 different productions of this show). The only complaint I had with the show was the lack of amplification. I usually love shows where microphones are not used, however the accoustics of the room are not excellent and some voices get drowned out.

I am not telling you that this is a great piece of art, or that it is perfect, but it is a fun night out. The majority of the actors are making their NY stage debut in this show, and will only grow as actors over time.

I also waited until a critic's review was released before I posted. http://www.offoffonline.com/reviews.php?id=732

This show is taking place in the St. Jean Baptiste Church and High School which is located which is located at 167 E. 75th St. (between Lexington and Third).

If you decide to go tell Eric that Jacob recomended the show.
