Freaky Friday is a lively, heartwarming story centered on the relationship between a mother and her teenage daughter who magically swap bodies and are forced to literally walk in each other’s shoes.  As Katherine and Ellie navigate each other’s worlds, they gain deeper insight into one another’s struggles and strengths, ultimately resolving conflict and growing closer through forgiveness and reconciliation. With catchy songs, energetic choreography, and a feel-good message, Freaky Friday offers a relatable and uplifting theatrical experience that speaks to audiences of all backgrounds.
