911's Lee Brennan to star in Footloose at Millennium Forum

911 and The Big Reunion star Lee Brennan will make his musical theatre debut when he joins the cast of Footloose: The Musical, playing Derry’s Millennium Forum this summer. Brennan (pictured), who play the role of Willard, is widely recognised as one third of multi-million selling pop group 911. One of the biggest pop acts of the 90’s, 911 were one of only five acts in the decade to achieve ten consecutive Top Ten Hit Singles, selling over 10 million records around the world. After returning to 911 in 2013, when the band reformed for ITV’s smash hit series The Big Reunion, the band went on tour playing to over 200,000 fans alongside acts including Five and Blue. Lee makes his theatre debut in Footloose. Based on the 1984 screen sensation starring Kevin Bacon, Footloose: The Musical tells the story of city boy Ren, who has to move to a rural backwater in America where dancing is banned. All hell breaks out as Ren breaks loose and soon has the whole town up on its feet. Featuring classic 80s hits including Holding Out for a Hero, Almost Paradise, Let's Hear it for the Boy and the unforgettable title track, Footloose: The cast also features Luke Baker (American Idiot, Sunny Afternoon) as Ren and Maureen Nolan (The Nolans, Blood Brothers) as Vi Moore, Footloose: The Musical performs at the Millennium Forum from Tuesday, 31 May to Saturday, 4 June.
