Freaky Friday The Musical is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud journey about love, understanding and seeing life from a whole new perspective. With catchy songs and plenty of surprises, this one-act show will have you cheering for this mismatched duo as they race against time!
When an uber-organised mother and her spontaneous teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right. Masquerading as each other, they must navigate the chaos of high school, family drama, and some seriously awkward moments — all while trying to solve the mystery of how to break the spell. Will they manage to switch back before the clock runs out?
Freaky Friday runs from Wednesday 21 May to Saturday 24 May 2025 in the Marsden Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased here.
