What is Flashdance The Musical Like?
Flashdance – The Musical is much like the film that became a pop culture phenomenon. The production includes hit songs from the movie, all of which became Top Ten hits on the radio around the world including the Academy Award-winning title song “Flashdance – What a Feeling,” “Maniac,” “Gloria,” “Manhunt,” “I Love Rock & Roll.” In addition to these hits, 16 brand new original songs have been written for the stage by Robbie Roth and Robert Cary. If you enjoyed Jersey Boys, The Addams Family and Memphis, you’ll be delighted to know the same director and choreographer of those shows, Sergio Truillo, also directed and choreographed this touring production of Flashdance.

Is Flashdance The Musical Good for Kids?
Oh What A Feeling…but maybe not for everyone. This show contains mature content and strong language which may not be suitable for all ages. Flashdance has a sexy vibe, but the story is largely a fairy tale, a glamorous wish-fulfillment pop fantasy for teen girls on what being an adult is like. It might be a great opportunity to point out to your teen that working in a dance club is not as glamorous as it may appear to be in the musical.
