What’s the show about?
When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again.
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.
Freaky Friday the musical is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. This vibrant musical reimagines the iconic body-swapping tale with a fresh contemporary score and feel-good moments that are perfect for the whole family.
Now, it’s time for Manchester audiences to experience the magic, music, and mayhem of Freaky Friday the musical.
Freaky Friday has been adapted for several films, including 1976, 1995, 2003 and the musical adaption in 2018.
