Garden International School’s (GIS) super-talented students staged a spectacular version of Footloose.
The show, which ran from November 21-23, attracted hundreds of parents and students. The musical told the story of Ren (IB1’s Rohit), who arrives in a conservative town where dancing has been banned. Ren befriends several locals as he tries to change opinions and attitudes in his new hometown. He also meets Ariel (Year 11’s Trisha), the daughter of the local preacher and the pair soon fall in love.
As well as some convincing performances and clever set design, the show was packed with hit songs, ranging from ‘Let’s Hear It For The Boy’, ‘Dancing in the Streets’, ‘Somebody’s Eyes’ and the famous eponymous theme tune.
