ABOUT THE SHOW: Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town and encounter strict rules like a ban on dancing enforced by the local preacher. Sparks fly when Ren meets the preacher’s rebellious daughter, leading to a battle for the freedom to dance! Get ready to cut loose with songs like “I Need A Hero”, “Almost Paradise”, and “Let’s Hear It For The Boy!”
