HHS Musical 2025: Footloose the Musical CAST LIST!

A sincere congratulations and round of applause to every student that had the courage and motivation to audition for this year’s musical production! We are beyond honored and excited to celebrate the 38th consecutive musical at Highlands High School! It is very surreal how quickly each musical season seems to soar for all of us.

The judges were extremely pleased with everyone’s level of professionalism and enthusiasm. In-person auditions incorporating live singing, choreography, and acting were all a thrill for both the judges and students. Thank you, HHS Cast of 2025, for showcasing your passion, dedication, and musical talent. The caliber of music, theming and theatrical “legendary 80s icon” this show requires is going to be life-changing and memorable for you as well as our district and community!

This production marks my 15th year as your HHS Musical Director. It is extremely gratifying to have had the opportunity to spark such an interest in musical theater with so many talented teenagers! To the HHS Cast and Graduating Class of 2025, thank you for the lifetime of memories we are about to create. Each one of you is a blessing, and our district and community will continue to love and support you all. It is an honor and a privilege to have the opportunity to be a part of your music education experience. I wish you all the best of luck in all your future endeavors during the musical season, and thank you for being "golden stars”!

About Footloose the Musical: Author’s Introduction Notes by Dean Pitchford

“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.” “Footloose is – and has always been – a human-sized story.” “As you read through your script, make this simple substitution: every time you see the word ‘dance,’ substitute the word … ‘forgive.’ So when you read a line like ‘Who’s ready to dance?!,’ hear it – in your mind – as, “Who’s ready to forgive?!’”

“Mama Says” that Footloose was originally performed at Highlands in Spring 2002! “Dancin’ is not a crime” as we celebrate the magic of musical theater and honor the 38th musical year in our golden history!
