Freaky Friday
The new musical, Freaky Friday, based on the beloved 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films (and developed by Disney Theatrical Productions expressly for licensing to theatres), features a book by Bridget Carpenter - the co-executive producer and writer on the beloved TV hits, "Friday Night Lights" and "Parenthood" - and music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey - the Pulitzer Prize-winning composers of Next to Normal and If/Then.
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.

Questions & Answers

Can we still use the full version if we're looking to combine some things from the one-act?
We are looking into doing this show with our high school, but we are concerned about "Busted" and "Go" as being appropriate. If we wanted to look into cutting those songs/adjusting them to be more appropriate, could we still use the full version? Is there someone specific we would need to reach out to?

Purchasing individual scripts!
Hey! I am currently in a production of Freaky Friday, and I have been told that at the end of the run, we have to return our scripts. In the past, however, we've not had to return scripts for certain shows. Is there a way I can purchase an individual script so I can keep it after the performance?

Guitar Sheet Music
How intense is the difficulty of the guitar part of the orchestration? Or, how vital of a role does the guitarist have in the pit? My (potential) musical director has let me know that most guitarists he has are at a rhythm guitar level, but can't read sheet music particularly well and would need a lot of coaching.
