Breakdown
When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again before mom’s big wedding. Freaky Friday, a new musical comedy based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and hit Disney films, is a hilarious, contemporary update of an American classic in which a mother and daughter really see what it is to be a family and experience first-hand each other’s lives, if only for a day.
Set in the present day, Freaky Friday features a tuneful pop-rock score, befitting a work that has effortlessly updated throughout its several iterations. The novel (1972), the first film starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster (1976), the second film starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan (2003) and this new stage musical are all set in their respective present day.
Actors of all cultural backgrounds strongly encouraged to audition.
SEEKING:
KATHERINE BLAKE
40s – Single mother who runs her own catering business. Over-protective and type A, Katherine believes she can have it all by doing it all: even planning, designing, and catering her own perfect wedding. Must also portray Ellie in Katherine's body. Strong belter.
ELLIE BLAKE
15 years old – The hero of the story, and a rumpled, disorganized everygirl. Ellie is smart, funny, and passionate about her school's underground scavenger hunt, but sees herself as a Whats-her-name, easily forgotten -- unlike her perfect mom. Must also portray Katherine in Ellie's body. Strong belter.
FLETCHER BLAKE
8 years old – Katherine's eccentric son and Ellie's younger brother. He is a budding puppeteer who habitually annoys his sister (but secretly looks up to her.)
MIKE RILEY
40s – Katherine’s fiancé and a contractor by trade. A warm, reliable, easygoing guy, he adores Katherine and her kids. Bari-tenor.
ADAM
Teens. Love interest for Ellie. Slouchy and scruffy, he is a paragon of adorable cool. Acts as the “List Master” of the school’s annual underground scavenger hunt. Tenor.
MALE ENSEMBLE
Seeking teenage and adult actors with fantastic singing voices of all ethnicities. The ensemble men also play featured roles.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Seeking teenage and adult actors with fantastic singing voices of all ethnicities. The ensemble women also play featured roles.
