Disney’s Freaky Friday
Show dates: June 5-15, 2025
Audition dates: Saturday, April 19 at 6:30pm and Monday, April 21 at 7:00pm
Audition Information:
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 based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a hilarious, contemporary update on an American classic in which 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.
“Delightfully spunky” with “timeless appeal” (Variety), Freaky Friday features a new book by Bridget Carpenter (Parenthood) and an original pop/rock score by Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winners Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal). This dynamic story puts a fresh new spin on a “polished, peppy, modern fairy tale” (The Washington Post).
Audition materials:
Acting auditions will consist of cold reads from the show. All actors should prepare a 1-2 minute cut of a song that showcases your range. Actors may choose to sing a capella, or may submit a link to a prerecorded track. Dress comfortably and be prepared to move!
