*Synopsis*
The new musical, /Freaky Friday/, based on the beloved 1972 novel by
Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films (and developed by Disney
Theatrical Productions expressly for licensing to theatres), features a
book by Bridget Carpenter – the co-executive producer and writer on the
beloved TV hits, “Friday Night Lights” and “Parenthood” – and music and
lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey – the Pulitzer Prize-winning
composers of /Next to Normal/ and /If/Then/.
When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap
bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday,
a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit
Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update
on an American classic. By spending a day in each other’s shoes,
Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s struggles, learn
self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect
that bond a mother and daughter.
