Author's Introduction - Dean Pitchford

In 1984, when I was doing the publicity tour for the release of the original motion picture Footloose - for which I had written the screenplay and the lyrics to all the original songs - I would often find myself being interviewed by a journalist or an entertainment reporter who would describe it as “that movie about the town where dancing is against the law.”

“Not exactly,” I would gently correct them. “Footloose is actually the story of a man who's lost his son, a boy who's lost his father, and how those two help each other to heal.”

I felt it important to make that clarification because, first of all, nobody wants to see a movie about a town! We don't come away from a memorable cinematic or theatrical experience remembering sidewalks and storefronts.

What makes a story live on in our consciousness is the characters we meet along the way. We remember how they changed each other.

And - when we're lucky - how they changed us.
