Arlington's Signature Theatre has released a first look at the upcoming world premiere of Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's new musical, Freaky Friday. As previously announced, Heidi Blickenstaff (Something Rotten!) and Emma Hunton (Spring Awakening) star as Katherine and Ellie Blake, an overworked mother and her teenage daughter who magically swap bodies and have just one day to put things right again before mom’s big wedding.

Watch rehearsal footage of the song "Just One Day" below:

Blickenstaff and Hunton are joined by Jason Gotay as Adam, Alan H. Green as Mike, along with Shayna Blass, Tyler Bowman, Cicily Daniels, Jamie Eacker, Sherri L. Edelen, Katie Ladner, Storm Lever, J. Elaine Marcos, Thaddeus McCants, Calvin McCullough, Jake Heston Miller, Tanisha Moore, Julian Ramos, Olivia Ashley Reed, Bobby Smith, Robert Walters, and Jason "SweetTooth" Williams.

Developed by Disney Theatrical Productions expressly for licensing to theaters, the musical features a book by Bridget Carpenter, and music and lyrics by Tony-winning collaborators Kitt and Yorkey (Next to Normal, If/Then). The premiere production will be directed by Tony nominee Christopher Ashley with choreography by Tony nominee Sergio Trujillo (On Your Feet!). It is a musical adaptation of Mary Rodgers' 1972 novel, which subsequently inspired two hit Disney films.

Performances of Freaky Friday will run at Signature Theatre October 4-November 13.
