FREAKY FRIDAY
Until November 5
Parkes M and D's new musical is perfect for family audiences. When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just 24 hours before mum's big wedding to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical comedy based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is an hilarious, contemporary update of the classic story in which a mother and daughter see what it means to be a family while experiencing each other's lives firsthand, if only for a day. Tickets online through www.parkesmandd.com.au
