Awww I think thats such a shame, even though he is too old for the part now. But would have been cool for him to revive his film role on Broadway.
Kevin Bacon has pre-warned Broadway bosses not to bother offering him a role in a revival of his hit movie musical Footloose – because he’s “not interested”.
The actor starred as Ren McCormack in the original 1984 film, about a Chicago, Illinois-bred teenager who moves to a small town that has banned dancing and rock music.
The movie was turned into a musical, which hit the New York stage back in 1998.
There has been talk of a new production – but Bacon won’t be involved.
He tells the New York Daily News, “I’m not interested in doing that. They did one, and that’s enough for me.”
