Highlands Lakeside Theatre to Host 'Freaky Friday' Musical in Sebring

Highlands Lakeside Theatre will host the new musical, Freaky Friday, from August 23 to September 8, 2024. The musical, based on the popular novel by Mary Rodgers and the Disney films, tells the story of a busy mother and her teenage daughter who unexpectedly swap bodies and have one day to fix things. The show is a modern, comedic adaptation of an American classic.

The performances will be held at the Lakeside Playhouse on the Highlands Lakeside Theatre Campus in Sebring, Florida. Showtimes are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 pm, and Sunday at 2:30 pm. Tickets start at $25 for adults and $15 for youth, with group rates available for parties of 15 or more with advance notice.

Special offers are available for the opening night on August 23, which includes a red carpet walk, happy hour discounts in the lounge, light refreshments, and more. Attendees of any Saturday night performance can buy a show drink in a reusable HLT Sebring Sipping Society cup and get $1 off show drinks at any Saturday Blackman Stage series performance. This offer may change without notice and expires on November 19, 2024.

The musical explores themes of self-acceptance, mutual respect, and the strong bond between a mother and daughter. The characters Katherine and Ellie learn to understand each other's struggles by spending a day in each other's bodies.

The theatre advises that some material may not be suitable for children under 8. The show may also include theatrical smoke and haze and strobe lights.
