Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. After what song does Ren find out that dancing is illegal in Bomont?

Answer: I Can't Stand Still

Principal Clark walks in as Ren is dancing in front of Willard. Although Willard tries to stop him, Ren just keeps on going. When Ren is told that dancing is a crime in Bomont, he actually believes that they were telling him dancing on school property was forbidden. He was shocked when he heard that it was illegal in all of Bomont.

2. Who is the owner of the Burger Blast?

Answer: Betty Blast

Betty Blast owns the Burger Blast. She is only seen in one scene where Chuck and Ren are starting to fight. She breaks up the fight with her very funny lines and skates off stage.

3. What is the musical "Footloose" based on?

Answer: a movie

The musical was actually based on the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon as Ren and Christopher Penn as Willard. Although many think the musical came first, the movie actually came a few years before the musical, which was released in 1999 on Broadway.

4. Which of the following songs closes the first act of "Footloose"?

Answer: Heaven Helps the Man / I'm Free

The ending song of the first act is "Heaven Helps the Man / I'm Free". The song includes Ren, Shaw, and company. This is a good spot to end the first act because of the fact that Ren motivates all of the seniors at Bomont High to take a stand for what they want and have the dance. On the other hand, Shaw and the adults do not want this to happen to the youth of Bomont, therefore, they all try to hold them back from having the dance.

5. In the movie, Ren is on the gymnastics team, however in the musical he is on the wrestling team.

Answer: true

Due the fact that since the 80's the popularity of Gymnastics for boys is much lower, the sport was switched to Wrestling. The switch also occured because it would be harder to find a broadway actor that could do gymnastics for the show.

6. Fill in the blank from Irene's song: "Look at the moon slowly _________."

Answer: rising
