FREAKY FRIDAY Takes The Stage At The Round Barn Theatre
By: Julie Musbach May. 21, 2019
Sarajane Mullins (Miss Hannigan in 2019's Annie) returns to The Round Barn Theatre as Katherine Blake, an overworked mother on the eve of her wedding day. During one of her frequent arguments with her contrary teenage daughter, Ellie, (played here by Megan Arrington making her RBT debut) the two magically swap bodies. They have just one day to put things right again before Mom's big day. In this hilarious modern-day fairytale based on the novel by Mary Rodgers (Granddaughter of Richard Rodger) and two Disney hit movies, a Mother and Daughter really see what it is to be a family and experience each other's lives first-hand, if only for a day. Freaky Friday is a delightfully entertaining musical for anyone with a perfectly imperfect family. Freaky Friday opens May 24 and continues through July 14. Bring your daughters, granddaughters and have a perfect family getaway!
