Footloose, a 1984 movie about a town where rock music and dancing are banned, has been selected for the Hopkinton drama musical. Nobody knew which musical Ms. Dornik and Ms. Gelineau would pick, until they started to play hints over the morning intercom. Many students guessed a different array of musicals, but with the last song played, everybody knew it was footloose.
According to Dornik, “There were no close seconds to the choice of the musical”. Footloose is based on many different songs, and dance sequences. The choreographing of the musical will be left to Dornik, while the acting of the musical will be lead by Gelineau. Musicals are much harder to present than plays because of all the dancing and singing, but even with that many students are excited to audition.
JP Dubois is waiting to start with the read through of the script, which is this Friday the 17th. When asked about the dancing and singing Dubois stated, “Well, seeing as I can’t sing r dance, it will be challenging”. That only confirms the belief that putting on a musical will be tough. But sophomore Maddie Donahue thinks “it will be hard to put together all of the singing and dancing, but we have a great set of people who can do it”.
Even if the musical is a challenge, the Hopkinton drama club could not have any better members to put it on. Many students and facility are looking forward to watch the production, which will be sometime this spring.
