Albin has other plans, with hilarious results.

Two drifters, George and Lennie, have just arrived at a ranch to work for enough money to buy their own place. Lennie is a man-child, a little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. It's Lennie's obsessions with things soft and cuddly, that have made George cautious about who the gentle giant, with his brute strength, associates with. When a ranch boss' wife is found dead, it's obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her. George is faced with a moral question: how should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands. |

One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. When Ren moves from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. What he isn't prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher. To the rockin' rhythm of its top 40 score, FOOTLOOSE celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
