<p><strong>Synopsis</strong></p>
<p><font size="2">The new musical, <em>Freaky Friday</em>, 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 <em>Next to Normal</em> and <em>If/Then</em>.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">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.</font></p>
