BFG's First Production of the Year Will Be Freaky Friday: the Musical (A
BFG’s first production of the year will be Freaky Friday: The Musical (A Staged Reading)! Due to Covid-19 Regulations and limitations, this will not be a fully staged production, but rather a staged reading version of the show. All songs and dialogue will be performed, but blocking will be minimal and scripts will not be fully memorized. The show will be performed through a live-stream theatrical website on (Freaky) Friday, October 23, 2020.
“When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. 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.”
If you haven’t listened to the soundtrack, you may find recordings on Spotify and Youtube.
This is a small cast show, and the ensemble will be minimal. We plan to have a larger show in the Spring depending on Covid-19 and the regulations in place at that time.
