It’s been 40 years since Kevin Bacon danced his way into young hearts in the cult classic film, “Footloose.”
After some very serious lobbying from students at Payson High School in Payson, Utah, where the original “Footloose” was filmed, Kevin Bacon announced Friday that he would be returning to the high school for this year’s senior prom.
Students of Payson High School have worked alongside the Utah Film Commission for over a year on a campaign to get “BaconToPayson.”
The school, which served as a primary setting for the 1984 film, is set to be torn down next year, making this the school’s final prom.
