Music by Tom Kitt
Lyrics by Brian Yorkey
Book by Bridget Carpenter

Based on the novel Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers and the Disney films

By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another in a way they never could have imagined.

Age Recommended: Most enjoyed by children 8 and up.

Language:

  • Ellie uses aggressive language towards her family members (“Shut it!,” ”You stink, Fletcher,” “I hate you,”“Stupid!”).

  • An insinuation to a curse word is made by Ellie in Katherine’s body, but no curse words are used (“Will hunt for the glass and save my…butt.”)

  • There is potential for loud noises from screaming and props breaking.
