5.0 out of 5 stars Captures the energy and excitement of the Broadway show, November 11, 1999

Jeremy Kushnier is an up and coming star on the Broadway scene. He possesses a triple threat combo of superior voice with fantastic tone and coloration, dance moves that knock your socks off, and the ability to connect with an audience and really act.

This CD showcases his vocal talents and manages to capture the energy and verve of the live show without the benfit of Mr. Kushnier's acting and dancing abilities. Each of his cuts demonstrates why he has become the darling of NYC critics and theatre goers.

Another not to be missed cut is Stacie Francis' take on "Let's Hear It For the Boy". Her powerful, bluesy voice can shatter a chandelier and is an amazing instrument.

Even if you haven't had the chance to enjoy the show on Broadway or see the old Kevin Bacon film (you'll love the new songs that fill out the plotline), you will love this hit .

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, December 28, 1999

Ok, When I first bought this CD, I was a little disappointed. But, once I had actually seen Footloose, my thoughts changed. This music, on stage, had SOOOO much energy I couldn't believe it! Now, everytime I listen to it I remember it and enjoy the music. It does grow on you! Also, the somewhat cheesy song, "Dancing is not a crime" is not so cheesy when actually seen in the play! The play is hilarous and very, very good! I would recommend this C.D. to people who enjoy the movie and fast, energertic songs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dancing is not a crime!, July 8, 2005

This recording is fabulous! They have revamped the 80's music to give it a new, fresh sound while still keeping the original mood intact.

More people need to be exposed to this show. Most of the people who have written reviews here have been in a production of the show. I am now playing Wendy Jo in it.

Personally, I think the best songs on this CD are:

Footloose/On Any Sunday
The Girl Gets Around
I Can't Stand Still
Somebody's Eyes
Learning To Be Silent
I'm Free
I Confess
Holding Out For A Hero
Footloose: Finale

Let's Hear It For The Boy just doesn't do it for me. Neither does Almost Paradise. But the rest of the songs on this recording are not to be missed!

It's a fabulous, energetic, beautiful, crazy, peppy piece of fun!
