Lyrics by Brian Yorkey Book by Bridget Carpenter Based on "Freaky Friday" by Mary Rodgers Bring the whole family to see New Canaan High School’s Production of Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films. It is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. 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. Don’t miss our incredibly talented students as they share the stage with special guest, Principal Eagan, making his NCHS Theatre debut! Performances will be in the NCHS Auditorium, Friday Nov. 19 at 7:00pm and Saturday Nov. 20 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm. |
