Does anybody know what Zac Efron's natural speaking voice sounds like? Seriously, you just can't stop the boy singing. Not that you'd particularly want to – he's very good at it. The star of High School Musical and its sequel, as well as the so-darn-perky-you-can't-help-but-love-it Hairspray has now signed for a musical remake of 1984s Footloose, with High School Musical director Kenny Ortega barking the orders to make those jazz hands more jazzy. Footloose has already been adapted into a Broadway stage musical.

The original film, best remembered for Kenny Loggins' persistent theme tune and Kevin Bacon's funny little kicky dance, told the inspirational tale of a group of teenagers who lived in a town where dancing was banned (?) but planned to put on a school prom any-damn-way. In your face, The Man!
