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.
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.
FREAKY FRIDAY
is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.

History of the Ramblers
The Regis Ramblers musical theater club was started in the fall of 1995, by Regis computer science professor emeritus Dennis Steele, Ph.D. and his daughter, Shannan, who at the time was a Regis student. Together, they began what has become an important piece of the Regis experience for hundreds of students and alumni. In the spring of 1996, the Ramblers performed their first musical to a sold-out audience: Lil' Abner. The following years would bring new challenges, teamwork and a collection of Ramblers alumni who have continued to support and be entertained by the thriving club to which they once belonged.
Now, the Ramblers are entering a new chapter in their time at Regis. After many successful years of existing as a student club, it is now being offered as a college course! The Ramblers student leaders, Student Activities and the Music Department have joined forces to bring a new musical theatre learning experience to students at Regis. All students, no matter their major, are welcome and encouraged to join in the fun. Under the current direction of Tanner Kelly and choreographer Dallas Slankard, the Regis Ramblers are looking towards the future, and plan to stick around to entertain the Regis community for years to come.
