As the final part of the 2008 Summerstage, The Capitol Theater in Rome is showcasing the musical Footloose.
I'd seen Man of La Mancha earlier this year and was left less impressed than 2007's musicals. While some scenes were well done, I found some of the actors annoying and others hard to understand. Sitting in the balcony may have been partially to blame.
I went into Footloose with lesser expectations but was blown away. The characters in the musical were all likeable and several outstanding performances were given. It was everything you could want from a show: from parts that were laugh out loud funny, to several moving scenes with characters showcasing their inner struggles, and most importantly, great music!
Tickets are $16 for adults, $12 for students.
